http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/the-mobility-in-his-hip-was-the-same-as-a-70yearold-person-29859236.html Pretty damning article. Anybody who doesn't think burnout is an issue is plain wrong. I'd a friend who hurled senior for Clare who doesn't even hurl with his club anymore (he lives in dublin, but that's only part of it). He puts the blame on what he was asked to do as a teenager. He had the club, both codes (he was an excellent footballer and played county underage), both codes in st flannans and both county panels on the way up. He lost the love for it cos of overkill. ------------- Oh Poland we loved you..... |

Not answering for Eire32 or any other Biffo's, but it must be about time they got a half decent championship draw after (likely) losing in Leinster at some stage. Offaly always seem to get a county ranked well above them straight away in the last few years, which they usually lose, but it kills any chance of momentum a game/win Vs a Westmeath/Carlow/Antrim would give them before meeting Cork/Waterford/Limerick whoever. We are out ourselves on Sunday in Crystal cup V UL, as yet unknown if all, some or none of the various squad members with college affiliations are available for selection. Should be a relatively strong team regardless, for the first time in years, there is some strength in depth in the squad. Might pop down to it on Sunday weather permitting, Carriganore on a bad day makes the weather they are getting in the North USA look tropical. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Facilities are a f**king joke. Only time of the year the dressing rooms get a wash is county final day. We were on before the senior final about 10 years ago and we could not stay any longer than 5 min in it because of the amount of bleach they used to clean.

Why didn't they never build a new one outside of the town, somewhere which would have been handier. There are loads of places where a new place could have been built. Or have they already tried? |

Is there a need for it? Like Cork hasn't had a hurling game at home for a good number of years now and that's just once in the year. There was no need to do up Killarney either. One big stadium in Thurles is fine. ------------- 'The younger generation as in 17 -25 are certainly gayer than their predecessors.

Ya, we have the worst 2 county grounds in the country, there is little argument from anyone there. They have done away with the grass bank in Corkery's picture & also the grass bank behind the 'country' end, so now Walsh Park theoretically holds 17,000. Now, I'm no safety officer, but assuming you could get that many in there, there isn't a hope in hell you would get them out again in a rush if ya had to, 3 of the 4 entrances are on one side of the ground (behind main stand) for starters, and as Heff mentioned, there is absolutely nowhere to park anywhere near the ground for that volume of people. I don't think championship games are ever going to be a runner there anyway, even assuming the 17k figure to be correct, only 3500 of that is seated, it simply isn't enough to cater for the demands that would be on such a game. There were plans to build a proper stadium (shared with WIT campus) of 25k on a new site back in '07 (when Walsh Park would have been worth big money for development purposes) but mainly due to the politics of the everlasting East/West split in our county board, that never got off the ground. Link to what might have been here....... http://www.munster-express.ie/local-news/cullen-gives-details-of-e20m-gaa-stadiumby-years-end/" rel="nofollow - http://www.munster-express.ie/local-news/cullen-gives-details-of-e20m-gaa-stadiumby-years-end/ The reality is as Corkery said though, we don't need more stadia in this country, even had that been built , it would be full once or twice a year, but the heavily indebted CB have lost out on the alternative revenue the likes of last yr's Bruce Springsteen concerts brought to Cork and KK, as well as not getting big gate reciepts that those 1 or 2 games a year would bring. Nobody to blame here other than themselves, this isn't hindsight, as the link above proves, the early plans were in place but vetoed by the parish pump politics so beloved of the GAA and this country in general. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Loughgiel certainly would go in favourites. A Dunloy man (local, rather bitter rivals ) reckons Loughgiel by 8. Having watched them through Ulster I wouldn't just be as confident. Going OK in challenge matches, beat DCU and UCD but beat by Dublin Co team 3-17 to 0-15. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

They would have to be favourites. MLR had a great win in Leinster which was deserved on the day but they are at the stage now where they will be meeting serious club campaigners. Oulart still have that monkey on their back and probably thought the hard work was done in the previous round. Ballyboden were a tad over confident and were caught. In saying that MLR did deserve their win and I was delighted for them on the day. ------------- I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. |

Aye, Na Piarsaigh are playing serious stuff at the min and have come on heaps since Loughgiel beat them 2 years ago.
Aye, Watson's still at it. Wee bit less prolific maybe than usual but when ye score 3-7 in an All Ireland final thats a tough act to follow. As shown in the drawn game v St Thomas' last year, a man for the big occassion and the big moment. Very much the same team as won 2 years ago. Lot of miles in one or two of them, i think theres maybe 2 positions that have changed. This team really hasn't had a break in 4 years but a final push to get another AI would see them remembered as one of the great club sides. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

Antrim beat by 3 goals by Westmeath. Very experimental Antrim side - all players either minor or U-21 so hard to take too much ffrom it either way.

Sutcliffe, Dotsy and Treacy didn't play today. That's a lot of firepower to come back Good to see Ryan finding the net too. Three goals in two games |

Tracey has really struggled with consistent form with all the injuries he's had over the last couple of years he's still young and I hope he has an injury free year. Dotsy and Sutcliffe are certainly talented forwards but I can only imagine the fire power that Ciaran Kilkenny and Cormac Costello could bring to Dublin hurling and it's their absence that could be the difference in Dublin winning a hurling all Ireland in the next couple of years. |

It was the Kerry match I was referring to . I'm puzzled to think what game could have been played there since ? A qualifier against Down when they tried the league format in the qualifiers ? |

Impressive performance from Kilkenny to win the Walsh Cup Final this evening considering they gave a rest to the old double act of King Henry and St. Canice. Both legendary veterans will be back for the first round of the league, I suppose. Canice has asked me tell you all to make sure to watch this excellent coaching video, starring Brian Cody, Martin Fogarty, JJ Delaney, and of course a short cameo from Canice himself. Certainly well worth three hours of your Saturday night. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Kilkenny deserved the win. Dubs put in a decent effort to make the score line more respectable in the last 10 minutes, to little to late to avoid the defeat though. -------------

There's no 3b in that prediction thing. Some very hard predictions in the other leagues though. Monaghan v Longford for example. ------------- 'The younger generation as in 17 -25 are certainly gayer than their predecessors.

As was said above we were chasing the game most the night. Kilkenny played a sweeper in front of Dotsy so any ball that went his direction was cleared back up the field, he got two nice scores in the second half went he went out the field. Mark Schuite got 4 nice scores in the corner. Colm Cronin at wing forward was quiet enough but is still young and needs to be given time to develop. I still think we are short a couple of scoring forwards to have any influence on this years championship. Kilkenny looked fresh and dictated the game for long periods but I'm still glad that we kept the score respectable when it looked like we might get a hammered when we were 8 down. |

We will struggle against Kilkenny in 2 weeks time I feel. Lads late starting this year for obvious reasons and a holiday was only had last month. What il look for from the league is staying up and hopefully blooding a few new fellas to put pressure on a few of last years starters. ------------- Oh Poland we loved you..... |

Lads the local paper said otherwise yesterday, but I worry for Cusack Park holding our glamour tie with Kilkenny this weekend. The weathers been atrocious and it is not in great nick despite the footballers not playing on it last weekend.

Few Loughgiel players back in the Antrim team. Few strange selection decisions but it wouldn't be Antrim hurling without it.
Up in Ballycastle, we've a decent record against Wexford, would expect a tight enough game.
Wind can make a bollicks of a game up there. Its very exposed. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |
