2026 Senior A Hurling Championship

[Mr.Mustard]

Compare their 15 to Erin’s Own for example . EO have Senior standard hurlers on every line. Blarney have lots of weaknesses to try and manage. They’re just not good enough

100%. Blarney would be eaten alive at premier senior

 

[Mr.Mustard]

EO were slick tonight, great movement and found their man a lot easier. Looked a level above the Hill.
Real local east cork derby now in the final with Carrig!

Thought EO were well drilled & on top all over the pitch. WGH were very disappointing.

The difference in standard between senior & senior A is huge. EO showed their senior guile tonight. WGH wouldn’t last in senior just like Blarney. Douglas were relegated and there is a good chance they will regain senior in 2027.

You'd fancy EO to go straight back up to Prem Snr now.
Agree that Blarney aren't good enough to get promoted anyway, PP was a huge loss to them, having to put SB in FF just took him out of the game for too long and he took some absolute wallops whenever he got anywhere near the ball in second, not enough support around him.
Coleman's radar was way off, which also made a big difference, if the 2 point sideline ever makes it to championship he's definitely a man for that.

I think the jump in standard is probably the biggest between any grades.
In the other grades all the way down to Junior A, the team that wins the county usually does well the following year in the grade above.
Whereas the Senior A champions, while never going straight back down, never really seem to make the business end in their first 2 or 3 years up Premier Senior. The Glen being the exception.

I suppose it's only fair you give players the respect of playing these games in PUC but they were really lost in the stadium tonight....especially the second game I felt.

PUR would be ideal for that type of crowd I suppose. It's a tough call to make....no pleasing everyone.

The pitch in PUR is absolute shite. Still a mess. Has to be PUC.

You have to ignore the drama queens on here. The Senior A championship has had 6 winners since it started in 2020 & none have ever been relegated from Premier Senior since they went up. These fellas claiming there's a huge gap have no idea what they're talking about.
