I heard Na Fianna gave Confey a walkover (playoff between teams placed 3rd in Groups 1 & 2) in 'B' Championship.

That would leave the final 8 as follows:
Monasterevin
St. Laurences
Suncroft
Sallins
Confey
Balyna
... and two from the following three
Kill
Raheens
Oliver Plunketts

Plunketts are gone they have a tally of 0 points and Raheens are the next team to them with 4 with Kill also on 4 . So seen as the last game is Kill vs Plunketts it is a nothing game as the latter are out so maybe the county board should get a flippin move on and make the draw and schedule these games for the 18th along with the A championship games..

Plunketts have 2 points. They got a walkover from St. Kevins and if they beat Kill there will be three teams on 4 points. If that happens score difference won't count because of the walkover and there will need to be playoffs.

Crazy system again

Didnt know they got a walkover now. And do you know when that Kill vs Plunketts game is scheduled for? Also ive heard the draw will take place on Sunday?

Kill v Plunketts is fixed for Tuesday night at 7.45pm in Ballyteague.

I heard the draw will be done on Sunday with the two unknowns being referred to as "Group 3 second" and "Group 3 third".

So when does everyone reckn the quarter final games will be played ? Any time from Thursday 20th onwards i presume

Any word on the draw ?
All i know is,
Sunday 23/9/12 11.30AM
Monasterevan vs Balyna. Venue: Robertstown

Friday 21/9/12 @ 7.30pm St. Laurences v Suncroft

Sunday 23/9/12 @ 11.30am Sallins v Team 3 (Group 3)

Sunday 23/9/12 @ 11.30am Confey v Team 2 (Group 3)



Minor C
Carbury v Ellistown
Grangenolvan v Nurney
Ballykelly v Caragh
St Edwards v Rathangan

Was at the Athy vs Kilcock game as a neutral, and Athy won by 2 . Kilcock got a penalty when the game was level with about 8mins to go and they hit they post and the ball rolled along the line before it was kicked away to safety. All though Athy won and dont get me wrong Killian Mulhall was outstanding I felt that they were being carried by Niall Kelly definitely in the scoring department anyway. He easily kicked half of their scores and i think if they want to continue in the championship someone will have to chip in with a few scores . Maybe Michael Kelly will do this as he was missing through suspension tonight. Athy lucky to still be in championship in my opinion , Think it ended 0-13 1-8 in favour of Athy. Also Towers beat Maynooth 1-07 0-8, Naas beat TMH 1-11 0-06,Celbridge 6-13 1-09 Sarsfields and Kill 0-08 0-06 Oliver Plunketts in the B.
So the minor B draw is as follows:
St Laurences v Suncroft
Raheens v Sallins
Kill v Confey
Monasterevan v Balyna

I understand that the B quarters are scheduled for this Sunday. I know several people (players and parents) planning to go to the All Ireland finals who will be put in a totally unnecessary situation. How bout a bit of cop on and move them to Monday or Tuesday. Wouldn't happen in the A championship I bet!!

Well I think Suncroft vs St.Laurences is the only one scheduled for Friday night all the others are for Sunday morning which in my opinion is ridiculous

with all de sundays dats after goin by dey pick all ireland sunday for quarter finals and on top off this we have lads playin an intermediate replay sat night , 16 hours between both games . Wouldnt happen to a senior club

Minor semi-final draws take place tonight at 8.30pm in Hawkfield

Any word on draws

Towers V Athy
Celbridge v Naas

round towers v athy
celbridge v naas

Towers v Celbridge final imo, Any dates and venues?

'B' Semi Finals
Balyna/Monasterevin v Confey/Kill
Sallins/Raheens v St. Laurences/ Suncroft

'C' Semi-Finals
St. Edwards/Rathangan v Grange/Nurney
Ballykelly/Caragh v Carbury/Ellistown

Jesus man in the stands you seem pretty confidant about Towers beating Athy, I would agree with you if any team can contain Niall Kelly then athy are in trouble, we have not got enough scoring forwards to make a serious attempt at the final IMO celbridge the favourites.

Athyman will ye have Michael Kelly back for the semi?

I can't see beyond Celbridge in the 'A' or Rathangan in the 'C'.

The 'B' Championship is much more interesting with a number of Clubs still in with a shout. Balyna are probably the favourites but the Larries had a good win over Suncroft tonight despite having a man sent off midway through the second half.

Lillyboy Michael Kelly is suspended we will not see him until next year

Minor C

Ballykelly 0-15

Caragh 1-09

Minor B

Monasterevin 0-16 1-9 Balyna

So much for that prediction. Raheens beat Sallins in the other quarter final this morning by 4-9 to 2-8.
