What Emmets did yeserday was a disgrace and makes a farce of the Senior club Championship and is a total lack of respect to both Bruree and Ballingarry who are senior clubs and trained hard all year. To start the match against Adare with 13 players was an absolute disgrace. Its time now the divisional teams were abandoned. Its doing no good for hurling in the County.

Emmets should be thrown out of the championship. Let Bruree into the Quater finals and Ballingarry into the County Cup. If the County board have any balls they would take action.

I would love if Garryspillane and Patrickswell both hammer adare and Emmets over that scenario yesterday.
Garryspillane will find it tough against Emmets because you can be sure Emmets will have a full team next day.
My predictions are
Na Piarsaigh
Kilmallock
Emmets
Adare

am I missing something here?? Since when has Emmetts fielding a weak team got anything to do with Adare??? They just went out and did what they had to do, which was beat whatever team was put in front of them so spare me your pious platititudes in relation to Adare being the 'bad' guys in this situation!

I agree with Ivor. The dogs on the streetsknew last week that emmets were going to field a weakened side. It was even reported to a county board official in killmallock I was told. Adare deserved their win yesterday and it should be an interesting game between adare patrickswell.

I think that the financial situation in the country will see more inside trainers. However, who wants to train a club side where: (a) Players are haphazard about training, where players outside the guaranteed first 15 no longer have the appetite to turn up unless guaranteed gametime, and will no longer train, rendering 15-a-side games impossible. (b) Where the best players on the field like the night life in the nights preceding big games, (c) Where a team can ship a hiding like Croom took from Na Piarsaigh, (d) Where a player can up sticks at a moments notice and depart on holidays facing into the crucial last round of games. Unless you want a few quid (and there are easier ways of making it), managing a senior club side isnt really rewarding unless you are in with one of the marquee top three or four sides. Basically most of the inside guys are working with underage, where you dont have the same headaches and there are greater rewards in terms of watching players progress from Spring to Autumn.

An Effin player told me about their star playeer going on holidays. I thought he was messing to be honest. The club offered to pay for the holiday but he still went. Shocking stuff to be fair.

I find it hard to believe that a player would go on holidays knowing the match was fixed. Anyone know the venues for the quarter finals. Ahane willrelish a trip to the gaelic grounds.
