I think the two div. 1 finals on the same day would be a great day out. 2 intense finals with all teams having great hunger as no matter who wins the games at this stage there will be 2 new champions in each code this year. Also to watch the final in each code would be great as it rarely happens and we'll get to see the best players from both perform on the one day. Haven't seen anything like this since 07' when Kerry scrapped past Monaghan in the AI QF and Limerick beat Waterford the same day in the AI SF both in Croke Park, would definitely raise the levels of excitement if it came anywhere near the levels of that day.

Dublin play All Ireland champions Limerick today. Dublin beat Tipp in the QF and could catch Limerick today unless Limerick are on top of their game. Galway v Waterford in the other game.
Both games are on Tg4 today starting at 1.30 with Dublin and Limerick.
What odds on Dublin winning the treble in 2019...hurling, football and the ladies senior All Irelands. I expect the Dublin hurlers to be massive contenders in 2019.

Cork win up in Armagh but go down thanks to a late rally from Clare. They gave it a rattle at least, fair play to them.

Well done Clare and Colm Collins! They earned the right today and deserved to stay up on merit in Division 2. At the same time, there is no doubt that while Cork may be going down to Division 3, they are in a false position and we know they are not this bad. Cork gave it everything over the last couple of games to save themselves but just too late. Munster Championship 2019 = 1 team x Division 1, 1 team x Division 2, 2 teams x Division 3, 2 teams x Division 4, = good luck to the GAA promoting that - joke!

No their not in a false position they are where they deserve to be. The league's dont lie, they may have rallied the last few weeks but over the last few years they have been abysmal. How a county the size of cork are in division 3 is scandalous.

Cork are in freefall.
This could get a lot uglier before it gets better.

Great to see Meath back in div 1. The Navan venue will add greatly to the NFL circuit next year. Kildare seem to have regressed yet again and are not stepping up. A bad day for the Munster championship yesterday. Cork & Tipp were generally in the top three in Munster. Both counties in Div 3 is no good to anyone, Kerry included. Congrats to John Sugrue, two promotions on the bounce for a very good manager with a lot of potential. Hard to know if the Dubs are in decline, it makes for an interesting summer now with 3-4 counties emerging this spring as genuine championship challengers to Dublin.

Time will tell.

How long more will the provincial championships be relevant? Or are they even relevant at the moment.
Anyway I digress - Meath are one of the counties I would never shout for, no matter who they are playing.

Meath and Cork could reach levels that Monaghan, Cavan and Roscommon will find it hard to and certainly wont be able to maintain. I remember the 2001 semi final too... but the game needs them in my opinion.

Agree regarding the comments about how relevant will the provincial championships remain. It does not look good for the Leinster & Munster championships at the moment.

If Kerry & Cork are both in Munster Final this year does it mean its on in stade de frank again or is it back to normal rotation?

The timing of coming back from Holiday was also very relevant . In The Tyrone game Dublin didn't even bother to engage tactically, the lads were just sent out to play to get another game under their belt and see what happened . As it turned out Tyrone were fitter and hungrier and deserved their win. Jim Gavin knows to win 5 AllIRELANDS is going to take something special , it has never been done before and there is a reason for this. Mental Fatigue could be a real issue. He knows last years game plans wont work this year . So the focus since late January has always been to have the guys mentally ready come August. To keep the players Fresh, focused and primed for the challenge which will come from Kerry ,Tyrone,Mayo and possibly Donegal. This means upping the training in the next few weeks , not prior to the league. As regards the league Kerry v Mayo is a League final i'm really looking forward to and the two teams i'm glad that have made the final. It makes for a good game of football.

Dublin should beat Carlow handily. They will be away to KK and at home in Parnell Park to Galway and Wexford. Three from KK, Galway, Dublin and Wexford will progress. Its all to play for. Darragh oConnell from Abbeydorney and Eoin oDomhnaill from Zimbabwe were Dublins best performers v Linerick. ODomhnaill is an unbelievable player who only took up the game late after the family moved to Ireland.

If its true i think thats a very risky strategy just expecting to turn it on in an ai semi or final. Interesting narrative to Dublins 3 defeats first two they were only back from holidays and the last one they didnt bother to engage tactically ! Still think ye will win it fairly handy this year though.

Kerry won the league in 1982... the year 5 in a row was lost. Dublins strategy is understandable. A final, a semi final and in reality two super 8 games away from immortality. All those games in a short spell in july and august.
