Sorry thefly, I did not end up betting in the games.
I thought Emyvale had a very good chance but they were 4/6 to beat a better side than the side they were 11/10 to beat in the semis, so I left it alone. Very impressive win for Truagh and they must have a fair chance of winning it outright. Emyvale travel to Liverpool now for the quarter final so I am guessing a Christmas raffle will be organised very quickly as it will be an expensive trip! |

MOunt Leinster Rangers of Carlow win Leinster Club Hurling title...fair play to them.
|

By:
Great for the small county to win but you have to feel a little bit sorry for Oulart thats 4 finals in a row they've lost, in fact they contested 6 Leinster titles in all and lost the lot.

I was in Nowlan Park today,absorbing match from two small parishes.
Mount Leinster Rangers have some fine players,surely they will raise hurling in Carlow and make for some interesting Leinster hurling matches next year. Mount Leinster Rangers play an Antrim team in the semi final that should be handy enough for them. |
|
By:
Loughgiel from Antrim will be far from handy.
I am not sure if they are as good as in previous years but they will be strong favourites against Mount Leinster. I fancy Na Piarsaigh to win out now. |

By:
Apologies to the Glensmen.
It was a stupid statement,I was thinking more of them avoiding Portumna a team I would be far more familiar with. |
|
By:
superb achievement for Carlow hurling and great scenes at the end yesterday.
wouldn't like to call their next match but Ulster teams are usually tough to beat. and I wouldn't expect this to transfer instantly into success for the Carlow hurling team. Carlow had a great football side in the 90s but it didnt benefit the county one iota. |
|
By:
You could even say they had two Freddie as Eire Og were very dominant in Leinster but O'Hanrahans were also an excellent club. Neither fed into the senior county side though.

Went for Emyvale Distant View and did a small accumulator with the two and three yesterday but Oulart failed to deliver again. MLR are a serious outfit 50/1 outsiders from the beginning and were even underdogs against Castletown Geoghegan.
Vincent's or Portlaoise next weeks who's it going to be?? A step up for Vincent's but with Connolly and Brennan back I think they will get over the line. Anyone any info. on the Munster JHC and JFC finals?? JFC final Keel v Feohanagh/Castlemahon JHC final Ballysaggart v Feenagh/Kilmeedy |

O'Hanrahans brings back bad memories for me, my team Moorefield were leading by 2 points with as many to go in 2000, O'Hanrahans scored 3 unanswered points in that period the winner was a miracle kick from virtually the corner flag, I stared into the distance for ages after final whistle, couldn't believe what just happened.
O Hanrahans went on to beat the Dubs in the final and got robbed against Nemo, ref rode them. |

By:
Ballinderry to win football outright. No stars but seem to have a very strong 15 no weak links.

sil the sos dowling was some footaller in his day for moorefield,seen him play in st conleths park against down in 92

By:
Richters SOS Dowling is a first cousin of mine his mother and my mother are sisters, small world.
SOS wore his heart on his sleeve, actually he played on that 2000 winning team a good blend of youth and experience, and then managed us to win the Leinster title in 2006. |

ye sil a great servant to the lilles,i was at the final in 98 when himself,glen ryan,martn lynch all deserved all irelands,clane had a brave good club team them days sil

By:
sil when the dubs beat kildare in the 90 league final,they were the first 2 teams ever to have sponsors on their jerseys in gaa,natonal irish bank sponsored the 2 teams
|

By:
was Dowling dropped for the AI final against Galway? remember reading an article in the Indo years ago about him. don't think he played in final could have lost his place earlier on perhaps.
|
|
By:
think your right freddie was he replaced by tipp man bryan lacey but near sure he came on.
|
|
By:
I don't really like to talk about 98 brings back too many painful memories, SOS played alright but it wasn't his finest hour they played him out of position against the fastest man on the pitch Donnellan, it was touch and go who would get the nod either SOS or Quinn.
Wasn't Mickos finest hour either, he completely changed the team around to accomodate a patently unfit strapped up Nial Buckley, he should've started with the 15 that played so well against Kerry and if the need be then bring on Buckley as a sub, ah well we can't turn back the clock. |
|
By:
You could have turned the clock back as far as you like. The result would have still been the same.
|
|
By:
sil did he start with a number 17 or 18 after not being named orignally
|
|
By:
I presume so richters as he wasn't named on the original 15.
