Clara Hurlers got bet in 1st round

I would have Tullamore as favourites based on semi final results. Tullamore also have 4 players who have won a Senior Final where as the Shinrone players with senior experience are likely to be playing in their first final.

Clara 4-11 Ballinagar 0-07

I find it strange that the Senior B final has not been fixed with the Senior A final - surely that would have drew a larger crowd than the Junior A final? Also bringing Shinrone to Tullamore to play Tullamore in a junior final is strange - could this match not have been fixed for Birr or Rath? Will ...

KK v St Rynaghs KK totally dominant with phenomenal work-rate which led to numerous turnovers. KK's ability to tackle hard without conceding frees was noteworthy. KK's desire to win was ultimately the difference along with St Rynaghs inability to score from play. Hard to see KK being bet in a count...

With the forecast for stormy conditions with large amounts of rain on Saturday night / Sunday, should the county board look to move some of Sundays games back to Saturday as any postponements will result in significant delays due to the number of dual clubs still involved (Tullamore / Shamrocks / Cl...

Weekend predictions

Clara v ballinamere
Clara to win by 4 points

Birr v Seir Kieran
Birr by 2 points

My Predictions: St Rynaghs v Shinrone This will be game of the weekend - rarely much between these teams when they meet. A draw in the group stage and Shinrone winning when they met in the Leinster League Final earlier in the summer. Expecting a tough physical encounter with little to separate them ...

Would appear to be a good appointment - hopefully gets the buy in from all players.

Good to have appointment made before business end of club championships.
