393.0. "G.A.A Predictions ..." by STEREO::BURNS (An Cl�r .... Gorm is Croch) Fri Jun 10 1988 12:31

    	The Clash of the Ashe  !!!!!
    
    
	Just like Clock_Work (every 56 years or so)	:=)


	We ALL know that Clare WILL beat Cork in the Munster Hurling 
	Semi-Finals, and that Clare WILL then go on to defeat Tipperary 
	in the finals. I also believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny.


	Does anyone have any predictions for the outcome of some other 
	(less-exciting) matches ?	

	ie. "Galway" vs. "Earth"

    	At least KeVin won't have to change the colours on 'the Banner'
    for the Munster Final, so he can't lose!
    
    	The only problem is I don't think Clare will be there.;-)

    Would there be any of this action in July?  
393.5The Premier County!!!KLOV01::MWALSHTue Jun 14 1988 04:528
    	July is when Tipp. win Munster Finals. The match will probably
    be in Limerick unless Tipp. and Cork come to some arrangement between
    themselves as to where they want to play the Munster Final in which
    case it would be in either Cork or Thurles (the home of hurling!).
    
    	I think they have the date set for 17th of July.

393.8"who hid the Banner, lads?"RUNWAY::FARRINGTONthe TIME has COMEFri Jun 17 1988 11:2820
    ah, keVin, I am indeed truly sad to inform you that it's not darts,
    (yes...that's right, <FULL-CONTACT**ALL-PUB OPEN> "DARTS") that
    will be contested upon the pitch!  I wasn't aware that hurling was
    still practiced in Clare this time of the season!  Best of luck,
    I understand that Cork, has, on rare occasion, had the privilege,
    of providing the opposition to the WORLD's pre-iminent hurling county.
    Not to worry, though, keVin I fully understand that with age, (YES,
    I have seen the birth certificate) ones' memory often becomes cloudy...
    so as a "friendly" service, I'll remind you, (and the rest of the
    begrudgers) that it is indeed, in your own words; " GALWAY v. the
    rest of the world!

    All Ireland football final ends in a draw.
    
    		Cork 1 - 9
    	       Meath 0 - 12
    
    Replay to be held on Sunday week Oct 2nd.
    Kerry beat Dublin in the minor football final.

393.33 C H A N G E EGAV01::DKEATINGRoamin&#039; Cadillac Church SAVESTue Sep 20 1988 07:148
    The replay has now been fixed for Sunday 9th October.
    
    This was agreed after discussions between the GAA and the Garda�
    (Irish Police). Apparantly the earlier date would have clashed 
    with the cycling 'Nissan Classic' finish in Dublin,which will have
    both Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche competing....

393.34 MEATH again...EGAV01::DKEATINGRoamin&#039; Cadillac Church SAVESMon Oct 10 1988 12:1917
    Well Meath beat Cork in the All Ireland Football Final replay
    in Dublin yesterday.The game was very close throughout and at
    times very physical and hard.Meath had a player sent-off after
    6 minutes but managed to stay in touch with Cork and finally
    overtake them in the final quarter.The final score was...
    
    		MEATH 0-13
    		 CORK 0-12
    
    So Meath has now claimed two All-Irelands(Sam McGuire Cup) back 
    to back and are heading for the three-in-a-row!!!. The SAM this
    year is a new one(exact copy of the original which had taken a
    fair old battering down through the years)...'fill her up again
    SAM'

    The new trophy has been called "Baby Sam".{Sam Og}
    The match reminded me of when Galway played Dublin in a previous
    All-Ireland, Dublin were down to 12 players against 14 but still
    won. It seems that  the loose men don't get used properly!!!
    Can anyone recall another year when both hurling and football
    champions retained their respective titles?

393.41this one's for Tony Keady...GAOV08::DKEATINGWho Stole The Baba&#039;s Goog?Thu Jul 20 1989 10:5222
    Sean,
    
    Yes Tipp were magic...Waterford were absolutely *filthy*.
    
    Galway will be a different story...in spite of Tipp(old informers)
    doing the *dirt* and getting Tony Keady suspended for 12 months
    for playing 'illegally' in the U.S.
    
    Galway to win by 5 points and to meet Offaly in the final and gain
    revenge for '81.
    
    As for Gaelic football the only hope for the game now is a Mayo
    V Donegal semi-final(hopefully both will win next sunday in their
    provincial finals). These two teams play clean open football but
    still have a long way to go before the reach the high-standard
    Kerry set some years back. I'd love to see Kerry turn the tables
    on Cork next Sunday...but I doubt it.
    
    Dream final would be Mayo V Kerry...yes we are all intitled to our
    dreams.

393.42Counting_downBIOMIC::LONERGANMon Jul 24 1989 13:1823
    
    Sorry Dave, Im not with this "Tipp Informers" bit...can you 
    elucidate please.
    I heard on "crackley" Radio Eireann that Tony Keady was suspended
    by New York GAA which I thought strange but apparently this was being
    appealed by Galway,something about not being registered ? Whatever
    I would have thought that it would have been a formality and I hope
    that he will be available to play on August 6th. He"s a very fine
    player, indeed that could be said of the whole Galway half-back line.
    
    IF Tipp are going to beat Galway, Id like it to be Galways best team
    so that theres going to be no excuses...we had none last year..the best
    team on the day won and Im keeping my fingers crossed that this year
    its going to be Tipps turn, and not just in the semis either.
    
    As far as the football is concerned, well the old Corkies are looking
    pretty ominous...beating Kerry three times in a row now. Whovever beats
    them should win it I think....if anyone can!
    
    Se�n.
