if Limerick win the DRA case than we could be playing the final on the weekend of the 14/15 sep. They would hardly play the semi final replay early on saturday 7th sep and then the final 24 hours later.

The minor final might to played with the Under 21 final Antrim vs Clare on Sat 14th. Cant see Limerick winning the DRA case. It will be a relief for the hawkeye saga to be over

HillFarmer · 02-09-2013 1:30am

Anyone hear of any injuries for the starting 15?

I know. What about the Waterford folk who had to fork out €90 for their AI ticket for the sole purpose of seeing the minor final?

Limerick would want tio be ashamed of themselves imo. They had a chance to look at the bigger picture and walk away from it with their heads held high. I dont know whats going to happen but if they are granted a replay it places phenomenal pressure on their players. I know theyve been training away but youd have to question how mentally prepared they would be for an AI replay and I could see Galway pulverising them. Then qeue a massive backlash from the Limerick public.

Do we know the starting 15. The same 15 has not started two consecutive games.

robopaddy · 02-09-2013 9:15pm

Better late than never, but this should have been tied up at least a week ago. Not fair on any of the parties involved.

In ticket news, I'm informed that Cork won't be distributing their tickets to fans until Thursday/Friday of this week. Seems like absolute madness if true, you'd wonder how people plan around the day at such short notice.

Not true - Know many people in Cork and they all have their tickets already.Friday wouldn't be feasible - there are plenty, myself included, who are going to Ireland v sweden on Friday
, leopardstown on Saturday and the All Ire on sunday !

Strange, my Cork sources would normally be pretty reliable. It could just be a club or divisional issue - it's a huge county.

Yeah going to be some weekend. Throw in the Kilmacud 7s into that as well as a big sporting event going on. I don't think it is very popular it is with Waterford clubs, which is a shame.

Fair play to Saviours. Must be the first year in a long time that they haven't been contesting a relegation playoff.

Passage, as predicted, get stung with a long journey to Dungarvan.

DLS v Ballygunner will probably be the highest profile fixture this season.

ah give over with this if you wanted a venue exactly half way Im sure youd find some field around Bridgie Terries Pub on the Pike there or around there somewhere

They are probably the 2 furthest apart clubs in the county with Ballyduff practically in Cork and Passage only across the river from Wexford and while Ballyduff is closer in proximity to Dungarvan I can guarantee timewise there is very little difference. Talking about 5 or 10 mins max when you consider the contrasting quality of roads both sides have to travel

Ballyvoile Boy · 04-09-2013 10:24am

Roanmore got fair stung, having to play in the middle of their annual charity hurling blitz. They have u8/u9 teams coming from all over Ireland to play in it. Who'll make the sangwiches now?

I notice from Twitter that Abbeyside are playing Cappoquin U21 hurling tonight in the FF. Anyone any idea where to get info on the U21 fixtures in general?

Yeah I mean at the end of the day, it's not like it's their home pitch. Thinking we need a neutral venue down to the last mile is a bit ridiculous. The fact is Fraher Field is much better equipped to hold a game of that stature than Kilmacthomas would be.

Well I made three points, and you've picked out one to go on more about.

I've already made my opinions clear, as have others. In the absence of a suitable venue in the middle of the county, the teams should toss a coin for Walsh Park or Fraher Field, as opposed to Fraher Field being the default option on every occasion, or at the very least put a home and away agreement in place between the clubs.

That's all I've to say on it.

Mountainlad · 04-09-2013 11:34am

Sure I heard the Ballyduff lads are gonna walk to Fraher Field it's so close. Totally unfair!

Yeah, surprised DLS v Ballygunner isn't fixed for Fraher Field as well as part of a quadruple header. That would keep everyone down there happy.

As an aside, at least the CB have fixed a triple header having decided the venues. That should give the punters plenty of value.

Is this the Stephen O' Keefe tournament you're on about? If so, that was held 2 weekends ago, when they had loads of teams down.

Ballyvoile Boy · 04-09-2013 11:51am

Lemybrien (Kilrossanty GAA) field is exactly half way by road between Passage and Ballyduff Upper and the same time to drive to from the southernmost part of Ardmore and the northernmost part of fourmilewater.

I propose the new stadium be called Jackson Park.

Yeah sure the sooner we just blow up the east we'll all be happy

I know the Passage fans have a slightly longer journey to Fraher Field than Walsh Park but not that much. Personally, I would go support my club if we were playing down in Walsh Park v a City team and while I'd prefer it at a neutral venue at the end of the day it's not like they're gaining that much of an advantage.

And the players can't have any complaints, the venue is not going to advantage Ballyduff anymore than them. If they lose the game it will be nothing to with it being held in Fraher Field.

Just on the triple header, it's 1pm, 3pm and then 6pm, yes? So there''ll be over an hour and a half gap between the last two. Does that mean people could go into the Park or whatever, just to get some food? Will they offer tickets to people who want to leave? I know you probably don't have the answers to that it's moire a general question because if that service isn't available then why not have the last game at 5pm? 1pm to to roughly 6.15pm is a long time, but til 7.15 is even longer to go without food and such.

This is the fixture list courtesy of Jarjohn back in January/February:

U21 A: Semis- Dungarvan v Cappoquin/Abbeyside and Lismore/ClashmorevComeragh Gaels
Starting Aug/Sep

U21 B: Semis- Ardmore/FMW v An Gaeltacht/Ballyduff and St Olivers v Tallow/Brickeys
Starting Aug/Sep

Not sure the exact times and dates, I know last week's observer mentioned it as the opening game but I've heard nothing about the start time for the other games. These are just Western board fixtures, dunno what the East line ups are.

Strange though that this games between Dungarvan and Glenshelane is going ahead considering the involvement of Patrick Curran and Kevin Daly in the Minor final at the weekend. Considering it was enough to have them postpone Senior Football games and Hurling games (which personally I think is ridiculous and unfair on the club players that don't play County) the Minor players would surely be of more importance to the u21 team.

I would imagine the rest of the A and B will commence next week presuming theres a result in the Minor all-ireland final.

Ah now, slightly is a big understatement. Going to Dungarvan trebles the journey time.

Yeah, I didn't look at the times at all myself. 6pm doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Usually the weekend after the AI. They would have over a hundred teams coming usually. Heard it was supposed to be on Sept 14th, but maybe it got moved?
