Why are there no Friday night games??? Granted the games have to be played at the same time, but surely a pair of games could have been fixed for the Friday night. Are there intermediate games for the Friday night??

That's a big if but say they do beat Kilkenny I'm pretty sure that Limerick would be playing on the 19th of August which gives a full 2 weeks after this round of Club Championship. There is no way that they should be cancelled. Fair enough you may get an injury but sure that can happen just as easily in the first minute of a semifinal or in training. That's the whole idea of having a panel.Plus it would do the world of good to lads on the fringes to be getting full competitive games. Admittedly a lower level but the county lads often mark each other anyway.Plus I'd say there would be a real buzz about the county for that weekend if the players were back with their clubs. Would be great to be going to games knowing those lads will be playing an AI semi 2 weeks later.Plus with a lot of young lads on the team it would probably be no harm to get them away from concentrating on the county setup for a week. A change is as good as a break & all that.Finally, I'm pretty sure there would be countless examples of a round of club championship getting called off by counties that went on to lose match that the club games get called off for.Can't remember exact dates but AI final 2007 which may be a bit different in fairness but calling off that round of fixtures didn't appear to help Limerick. I think I remember a story about Mike Mc guaranteeing a Clare County Board meeting a munster final win if they called off a round of club championship in the very first year where the club fixtures were guaranteed not to be changed (2008?)Also lads wonder why people pick other sports at times & as much as I loved playing GAA & once you get over the fact that you may only get 3 or 4 games in the main competition you compete in, the greatest draw of other sports was the consistency of matches being fixed only getting changed due to unplayable pitches. You could actually plan your life outside of the sport without fearing that you'll have to choose between the plans you made based on a fixture that's set getting changed.Apologies for the rant.

Complete Joke... Having any games on the Sunday of a bank holdiay weekend is madness.. There will be no one around to go to them (gone to Galway Races/Kilkee/Ballby) and it is a complete kick in the teeth to all the club players with have been sitting around for the last 6 weeks!
What is wrong with all the games being on Friday night and Saturday afternoon/evening. God forbid lads might have some sort of life outside hurling!

Around exam time, clubs have expressed a wish that they dont want Thursday night games. So the County Board have decided to put a complete end to Thursday night games even though there would be no problem with them in August. Allowing for the logistics of games being played at the same time, if games were played on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday, people have the Sunday and Monday to enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend.Bank Holidays arent the issue they once were nowadays though because people are staying at home now, the funds arent there anymore.

Yes if Patrickswell beat G/spillane by more than 5points and Effin beat Doon by 3 points. P/well and and Effin go through. If G/spillane win Doon would have to beat effin by i think over 5 points to knock out P/well and Effin would have to beat doon by 3 points to knock out p/well. It's all down to scoring difference.
