The only quarter final I didn't see. However I saw Abbeyside v Passage and Abbeyside v Dunhill and both were awful. Really disappointed with Abbeyside this year. I accept they had injuries but with the players they could put on the pitch they should be expressing themselves more. They look over coached. Treen, Callaghan, Montgomery and Kiely up front are all decent club standard at least. However the ball was passed around pointlessly before going in to them.

I wasn't there today but I was told they got their two goals when they abandoned the lateral passing and put Kiely and Prunty inside.

Mount sign were dreadful sorry best I can do . I’ve watched a good few matches over weekend on clubber tv while I have seen flashes of brilliance in point scoring and odd goals the marking is often shocking in games . I’d like to be seeing new players coming through to play county next season .

No they’ve scrapped that admin building down the town end thank God. common sense came from somewhere and the co board were told it was more important to have adequate facilities for spectators rather than a place for the suits to cosy up

I found the email it was voted at county board,cut football to 10 teams 36 votes to 10 , not to cut the hurling 44 votes to 4, not done by players survey

Football is 10 currently I think, but will go down to 8 over the next few years. As I said above, the proposals brought to the meeting were based on the findings of the players survey. Naturally the clubs had their say & debated the issue before voting. The players survey suggested current players were happy with 12 senior hurling team championship. The committee that instigated the survey didn’t deviate from that in bringing their proposals to the board meeting.

I think that same survey also showed players were happy with running off one championship completely before starting the other championship. It leads to a very condensed championship in my eyes, but maybe some wouldn’t field in football if it was on during the hurling championship.

Can see a lot of neutrals heading up to the DLS vs Roanmore because it been the first game in the redeveloped Walsh Park

Surprised they didn't hold a double header, Fourmilewater probably wouldn't of minded travelling down

€20 is a robbery for club games. €5 to go to Kilkenny club games, attracting big crowds too.

Ballygunner coach David Frank's going to be part of Wexfords senior management team

If I recall correctly, in Clare's Championship in 2022 it was even more; €25 for Semi-Finals, and also not Double Headers. Attendances reflected the price so-to-speak as they weren't great.

Yeah your right €5 is for the group games, I think they changed it last year to €10 for the knockout games and €15 for semi final (double header) and final. The one thing I will say is that all of the group games and majority of first round and quarter finals are outside of Nowlan Park so all the gate receipts go to the hosting club and participating clubs.

From a KK fan, just seen the pictures or the redeveloped Walsh Park and it looks like a great job! Best of luck with looking forward to next years league game and getting a better look at it!

I see TG4 are scheduled to show the Senior club final ; listed for September 10th.

That would mean no break from the semis ? Of course, Waterford GAA website fixtures schedule doesn't list the Senior final !

Fourmilewater won't fear Ballygunner and have gave them a big challenge in previous years

DLS vs Roanmore is a tough one to call, Roanmore going in on a high after beating another city rival Mount Sion while DLS scrapped over the line against Clonea

Ill go for a Ballygunner vs Roanmore final

Least be ready for the masters

Our Davy sure gets around
