Re: SHC odds..

Where did you get those odds Ballinamereman? I see a potentially nice wager to be made there.

Re: Offaly vs. Tipperary NHL Round 7 (18/04/2010)

Still no place for Kevin Brady though, which is a concern. Put it this way, if Offaly and Galway justify favouritism in their opening round matches and they meet each other in Croke in June – who’d be the best candidate to mark the in-form Ger Farragher? If the options are a) Dylan Hayden, b) James ...

Re: Birr Vs. K/K

The match turned out to be a bit of an anti climax really. K/K kept in touch up to about the last ten minutes but I think from that point on (and maybe even earlier) it was obvious there was only going to be one winner. It wasn't a great display of hurling from either team with both sides shooting a ...

Re: Senior Hurling Championship semi-finals

After last weekends histrionics, I feel it will be difficult for Birr and K/K to serve up the same level of edge of the seat entertainment as we witnessed from Kinnitty and Coolderry. Despite the lack of any real quality hurling in last weekends game it did manage to keep the spectators enthralled ...

Re: Senior Hurling Championship semi-finals

You made a good prediction there in your last paragraph POTH, kudos. But I notice your prediction in the tipsters competition didn't coincide! Get off the fence will ya. :lol:
What a win for kinnitty. They battled manfully the whole game. When they were two points down at half time after coolderry ...

I meant Donal Franks transferred to Birr, my apologies hymacpilot. But thats still five really good hurlers ye have lost over the years, fair play to ye if ye win ye're way back up to senior.

Re: Intermediate Hurling Championship.

I often wondered what was in the air up there in Ballyskenagh with the number of players transferring out of the club. Not just bit part players either but inter county standard players who would be the anchors of any club team.
It’s a pity that it happened to such a small club as Ballyskenagh ...

Re: Senior Hurling Championship quarter-finals

I was disappointed by the standard of fair down in banagher on Saturday. K/K stuttered at the outset but once they got the goal they opened their shoulders and began to hurl. K/K won the main share of possession in both half back and half forward lines, which made it difficult for the town side to ...

Re: Senior Hurling Championship quarter-finals

Thats a serious analysis there Mr. Shark, previews such as yours and POTH's make me look forward to these games all the more.

On the point about slevin going off, all I was simply saying was that he went off and they still won without him. I am not one to judge an individuals performance ...

Re: Senior Hurling Championship quarter-finals

Nice preview POTH, I always enjoy them. I suppose we can't really look beyond a birr victory against shinrone. However, shinrone are a proud hurling club and I don't think the margin between the two teams will be as wide as many people might think. I wonder is their any sign of the great man lining ...
