The Hurling Thread

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

There's no credible grading system

There is, obviously not in Senior but the lower grades do, populated by higher grades from weaker counties. The counties themselves can decide how they name their championship and who to send forward

100 not out for All-Ireland winner and Glen man Jimmy Lynam

In a room decked out with balloons in Glen Rovers colours Jimmy was surrounded by family and friends listening to the club Male Boys Choir.

Lot of the county championships down to semi final and final now. Loughmore seek another remarkable double against nenagh. Ballyhale and o loughlins will meet in the kilkenny final again. Both only won by the narrowest of margins yesterday.
Na fianna looking very strong in dublin.

Are they in both hurling and football finals?

Are they in both hurling and football finals?

Yes. Against Ballyboden in the football and Lucan in the hurling. Lucan beat Ballyboden in the hurling so almost had the same final in each

Lots of clubs in Dublin now feeling the pinch and are railing against the dawn of super clubs , crokes ,ballyboden, cuala, na fianna for example .smaller clubs are losing out money wise and player wise
Crokes alone put out over 160 teams and ballyboden is even Bigger with about 170

And you would've thought Kilmacud Crokes would be the one if you knew a club would make both finals

Those numbers are insane to say the least. The four clubs you mention were the four in the football semi and three of them made the hurling semi with Cuala missing out against Na Fianna in the quarters. A club outside of those four has not won the hurling since 2006 and with St Vincent's regressing a lot in the last ten years and Ballymun just not getting there in the last few years you can't see a team outside of the four pushing any time soon
