Hurling


Tomorrow sees the last series of the group fixtures in the National Hurling League which has been running since end of January - the league is always the poor relation to the Championship which runs throughout the summer with stronger counties using it as a warm up and to give game time to all of their squads, while the emerging counties really have a go.

Dublin, Kilkenny and Waterford are tied at the top of Division 1A with 6 points while Tipperary and Galway are on 3 - Cork bottom with Nil

In Division 1B Limerick and Clare lead with 8 points with Offaly Wexford and Clare all on 2 - Laois bottom with Nil

Winner 1A v 4th 1B
2nd 1A v 3rd 1B
3rd 1A v 2nd 1B

Westmeath done nothing again?

Westmeath are going well in Division 2A in Hurling....good chance of getting into 1B next year

Allianz HL 2A P W D L Dif Pts
Westmeath 4 4 0 0 31 8
Antrim 3 2 0 1 11 4
Carlow 3 2 0 1 10 4
London 3 1 1 1 8 3
Kildare 4 0 1 3 -28 1
Derry 3 0 0 3 -32 0

but are in danger of dropping into Division 4 in football
 
Sorry - in football, Donegal are third on 6 points - the Rossies are on 8 and having a fantastic league campaign.
 
Just back from Nowlan Park - awful first half by Dublin handed Kilkenny an 8 point lead at HT - both sides had some awful wides.

Better in 2nd half from Dublin and should have done better with a couple of goal chances but Kilkenny won out comfortably by 6 points.

Tipp beat Cork, while Waterford and Galway drew so the four quarter finalists from 1A are Kilkenny, Waterford, Tipperary and Dublin.Galway play Cork in the relegation play off.

In Division 1B, Clare finished first after beating Limerick and get automatic promotion. Kerry stunned Offaly with a win in Birr but lose out on QF place on points for/against difference, and Wexford beat Laois. Kerry play Laois in relegation play off.

QF Line line ups are:

Tipperary v Clare
Dublin v Limerick
Waterford v Wexford
Kilkenny v Offaly

In 2A Westmeath finished level on points won with Carlow, but Carlow have better for/against difference. They play each other in the 2A Final next Saturday, with the winner being promoted to 1B.
 

was at Cusack Park today,crowd of 8800 watched Clare v Limerick, no great heights but Clare were always going to win it once Limerick went down to fourteen, Podge Collins coming on late probably was the biggest cheer of the game,kind of gives you an idea of the standard of the game.

first time I'd seen Cusack park since the renovations, new stand looked good.
 
Hurling is the best game ever. Hurling and football ( soccer version ) are miles ahead of rugby union, American football etc.

Love football, love hurling, love real sport.

Big shout out to Ballyboden on Paddys Day was at the match and a terrific performence.

Hopefully a sgn of things to come this year as far as Dublin are concerned O Carroll and McCaffrey are massive losses though.
