Who are Clan na Gael in the minor B hurling Cship?

[Genocide Organ]

Clonad, Colt/Shanahoe, Trumera, and St. Paul's. Them and R/E in the "B" final, a repeat of the "B" league final which R/E won.

[Laois man]

Are Trumrea not with Mountrath in the minor?

[Genocide Organ]

No, not for the last couple of years.

[Laois man]

Kavanagh from Trumrea played with them last year.

[Genocide Organ]

At minor? That was probably a different arrangement, if so. I know young Dion Cuddy played u20 w/ Clan na Gael having played minor w/ Mountrath the year before. I expect Kavanagh to play u20 w/ Clan na Gael this year.

If Camross win senior - which I think they will - they will have beaten all the main contenders ( no disrespect to any of the other teams ) in the knock out stages and will be deserving champions.

Minor Final should be another great watch. A lot of talented players on both sides (Mahony, Delaney, Whelan and Phelan in particular) but I feel The Harps might have a little more depth around the pitch. Weather forecast isn't amazing and if it comes down to a tight battle, Phelan's free-taking could be a big strength.

I think Rathdowney/Errill will win the Premier Intermediate. The gaps between games could hurt Ballyfin whereas RE will have had quality training all year. Ballyfin have a nice blend of size, power and pace but I think they could struggle against a physical RE backline.
Separately, I also disagree with Ballyfin playing Castletown in a play-off should they lose; if they can't beat RE's second team, they've no business competing against their first team. I don't think they'd want to go up without winning a championship anyway.

For the senior, it's really hard to see anything but a Camross win.
There's no comparison in terms of form (collective and individual), attacking strength, defensive solidity and bench options. There's no doubt Clough/Ballacolla are capable of a big performance but it would take a remarkable upturn in form and I just don't know how they can hold the Camross full-forward line and hit enough scores at the other end.

Cbolla know what finals are all about they got a real tough sfinal which will stand to them don't write them off there Cship for a reason picky doing a bit aswell and could see game time. If Conway holds Mossy Camross might struggle.

[SCFC]

Really looking forward to Sunday. Weather permitting, think we might get a cracking final.
I think Camross look very focused and might just edge it.
As the last poster above said, a lot will depend on how CB handle Mossy and Dowling.

[Laois man]

Minor final should be a cracker aswell Harps favourite but they were last year aswell.

[ottoman]

Camross love putting county finals to bed early, and I think they'll go for the juggler here early again. With no Picky and rumours about Lee Cleere fitness, Camross will smell blood.

CB will have to hold out an early onslaught IMO. If they do that and keep themselves in it at half time, they have the experience of getting themselves through and may do it. However, it's still hard to see past Camross winning this with a few points to spare.

Indictment in our game in the county that that referee is allowed anywhere near our top hurling day in the county
