    Do Mountbellew even have a senior/adult team in hurling?

    No. So I think his outrage is a little misplaced.

    Any video off the schemozzle or will i have to wait for the game to go on the tg4 player? Made the poor call off watching kerry tyrone in the minor football. Poor game for what its worth

    So because his club hasn’t a adult team you want him to give up playing is it ??

    His father is originally from pearses. Would probably be in school with a lot of the lads from that club.

    The more things change the more they stay the same.
    Wexford will rue that game for a long time. Made no use of the extra man.

    Tipp reeled them in twice. Once from 5 down and again from 3 with the ref giving some crazy decisions against them. When the big names for Tipp stood up it swung the game.

    The only thing I can say I’ll be pig sick watching the final if I can bring myself to watch it.
    I might watch the 1990 final instead.
    The cold sweats of that final

    They said Kelly had a shocker last night well that was 10 times worse. Absolutely rode Wexford after sending off

    he was a lot worse for Tipp. If they didn’t win he would have got some stick

    How's the minor fullback who got the punch in the jaw?

    I presume our CB is gone for the final too?

    Supposedly concussed . They are going to appeal red card but unlikely to win it

    Was going to ask will it be ahascragh or pearses he plays for next year. Sure not a hope he could stay with mountbellew, I think they might have joined up with skehana this year but may even be junior B

    Tadhg Haran the only one I can think of tbh...

    And the city boundaries work a bit differently. If anything, him playing all the way up to minor for salthill is to be commended since theyre well and truly football centric

    100%

    It was set up for them this year. Tipp have been well off colour the last few games, and they (Wexford) have KKs number of recent

    When they saw the finish line they froze. What separates the real top teams I suppose. Reminded me a bit of Waterford kk in 2016. The traditional big sides always have that sheer will to win which can drag them over the line in semis and finals

    No way Galway will be as bad next year, and no matter what happens in 3 weeks kk will be much improved in Leinster next year one imagines. I'd be surprised if wexford won Leinster again, and I fear for them that they could be a long while even getting to a semi again

    I know it's going back a few years, but Kevin Brady used to play for sylane (still does afaik) but transferred to castlegar in order to play senior club. I'm not 100 % sure did he play senior for Galway.

    Good point

    He got a few runs in league but we're going back a good 12 years I'd say.

    In fairness he did go back to sylane though as you say

    I thought the same that it was their year when kk beat limerick last night. The provincial system is on life support already when you have whipping boys in Leinster and no relegation in Munster, May as well go open draw soon to get better matches. And the whole reffing, linesmen and umpires needs serious revision from HQ.
