dunnamaggin look very good and its hard to see them beaten at this stage.
gbc v portlaoise should be a good match portlaoise will probably have a few footballers on it cahir healy being one i know of.Gbc have improved game after game i dont know if ryall is missing i know he was sent off the last day but billy ryan is the go to man up front and its after being a great year for him hopefully he can stay improving.
Ballyhale will have it all to do aswell against a determined boden side who have gone to the well a few times already but they have massive firepower up front if they click i would be slightly concerned bout the corner back and goalie.
Are kk back doing pre season does anyone know?

Think ballyhale will be to good for boden.my only concern is the keeper.

i agree his suspect but infairness his very young but goalie has being an issue with them over the years but they've had the firepower up front.butler got a roasting the ladt day off dunbar darren mullen did better so be intresting to see will they put mullen coener back cause paul ryan is still a good foward and will be a threat joey and colm basquell should also be a good tussle as will mick fennelly and keaney but joey has being excellent full back for his club.He was very good on conor macdonald.

dubcat51

Joey has been playing great all year.basquel lacks touch but he has pace and is very direct.I was at the county final (1st game) and felt crokes should have nicked it.overall I feel ballyhale have more class and if the keeper istf a factor on the day they shoukd win.

Conor McDonald is a great man to run riot against a weak defender never really does it when it counts and has no pace.
Basquel is an absolute beast with electric pace like Con o Callaghan so Joey cannot let him get the ball is in his hand because he won’t stop him.
Con O Callahan tore Cillian Buckley apart last year against Dicksboro but I think Joey has been outstanding this year and if he can win this duel ballyhale will win it out.

TJ and Colin to do the business the other end too!

ballyhale are lucky to have eoin cody and adrian mullen aswell both look great prospects.You dont know what you'll get with colin.They look to have a very strong u21 team this year.just on a side note speedy recovery to brendan fennelly whos sick at the moment in hospital.

Jesus. He should have got more than a two match suspension for that

Of course he should have gotten a much longer suspension. The Crokes forward had his ACL and his medial ligament severed in the incident. Ballyboden - to their shame - appealed the 2 match suspension and, I believe, brought in a former KK senior goalkeeper to assist them at the appeal hearing. How any keeper could argue that charging at full tilt with studs showing at kneecap height is a valid technique is beyond me.

Joe Daly

Fair play to Dublin gaa for reviewing it more than croke park did when Michael Rice got his injury 2012.

intresting to see see cheddar taking over the village.I know they had niall rigney and pat critchley in recent years.I think rigney won a final with them.

2011 Rigney won a final with them, wouldn't you think with the size of the club they wouldn't have to go outside the county.

i think the shamrocks should win but they have conceded 6 goals in the last two matches which has to a concern but if its a shootout id fancy them as they have serious firepower.Adrian mullen is in with the seniors

citykat

Ffs. Boro v loughs U21 is on in Freshford.

blackcard

Good win by Dunnamaggan by 3-17 to 1-11. Ronan Coffey scored 2-5, John Fitzpatrick 1-3. Noel Hickey still playing well. I would like to see Coffey in training with the KK seniors, he has great pace, probably needs to improve his striking off his right

blackcard

A late Aaron Brennan goal gave Graigue Ballycallan a flattering 8 point winning margin of victory. Sean Ryan was best scoring about 4 points and setting up a goal for Eddie Brennan. I think Sean Ryan will make the County team in a couple of years when he fills out a bit, very impressive. Aaron Brennan did well, disappointed with Billy Ryan

Brennan was very good. Billy was well held by number 7 in second half, but thought he was immense in first half. Sprayed an amount of ball into forward line in first half. He’s a great man to pick a ball and go at top speed. A real sign to me that he is going to be a serious inter county hurler is just how casually confident he is at club level. Doesn’t seem to waste any balls any more.
Ballycallan very lucky tho, under the cosh for 15-20 minutes in second half when Portlaoise seemed to waste an amount of chances.

dubcat51

2 up 1 to go.

brookville

billy was man marked faitly well especially in the 2nd half.I thought sean ryan was a very good minor and i thought he was going to be a better prospect than his brother but billy has great potential.Great for eddie and lads like ciarian hoyne.Oranmore and the cork champs look very good not sure who they plsy next but its great for them.Also well done to dunnamaggin i heard today michael cody called into the seniors also.
