Score prediction.

Kilcormac Killoughey 2 - 20

Shinrone 2-18

If there is anything close to 50 scored on Sunday I’d be shocked

Kilcormac 1-16
Shinrone 0-15

Why this year do we not have the normal opening game before the county final?
Surely the junior final would have been an ideal opener at 1:30pm and senior then at 3:30pm?
Feels a bit bare with just the one game.

[private joker]

Probably based on the weather. Two matches on the same pitch would not be great. Tullamore did well to host the senior b and the semi final. Not too many pitches could do that. Best to just have one game and have a good surface fir it.

Because there's a concert on instead.

Because the pitch isn’t as good as it’s made out to be. Wouldn’t handle 2 games

[Plain of the Herbs]

I'd say the pitch will be alright. There's astro in the goals, so they won't be an issue.

Nothing worse than astro in the goals

[Plain of the Herbs]

Ah, water and muck and shyte in the goals would be worse.

K/K 2-15 Shinrone 1-14

A Senior goalkeeper worth their salt won't be allowing a ball bounce in the square, whether tarmac, astro, grass or turfmould.

But it does happen!!

[TerraceTalk]

Don’t get me started on Astroturf in the goals
Agree with the point that keeping it to one game is probably sensible given the recent weather. Looking forward to a pulsating game and a great atmosphere. I’ve been back and forth all day with a winner and alas, nothing.
I’m parking my behind on the fence this time.
KK 1-16 to Shinrone 0-19. And they’ll go at it agin.

[Doon Exile]

Very one sided here in Birr. KK really up for it.
