Doubt it. I'd be very surprised if Michael's don't win it!General Collins wrote:I just think it's great news because hopefully Clongowes will go on and win it now.
Blackrock out, Kilkenny won 14-13

[quote="CM"][quote]The main reason they are so close in the bookies is because Clongowes have a far easier draw than Michaels.[/quote]
How do you figure that one out?!
Terenure are an easier draw than Kilkenny? Not according to the bookies anyway. Both have an equal chance on Paddy Power while Terenure are shorter than Kilkenny on betfair.
The odds now are essentially a double on winning the semi and final. Given that the assumed finalist is Michaels the fact that Clongowes have longer odds (just) means the bookies think they've the harder draw.[/quote]
Terenure are a poor team team this year by their standards so thats probably why themselves and Kilkenny are equal.
Clongowes have had an easier draw from the beginning of the cup have longers odd (just about) because of this and Michaels are expected to beat Clongowes but will have just as tough a semi final in prospect.

Ryan, you're not making sense. The current odds have nothing to do with what draw either side got at the start of the competition. And by your own admission the Terenure and Kilkenny sides are, at best, equal which means that the expected odds for a Clongowes v Michaels final would be in or around evens. Which is all I'm saying.Ryan_89 wrote:Terenure are a poor team team this year by their standards so thats probably why themselves and Kilkenny are equal.CM wrote:How do you figure that one out?!The main reason they are so close in the bookies is because Clongowes have a far easier draw than Michaels.

You are right I am not. What i said and what i implied are different . I meant to say that Clongowes were always among the bookies favourites because they had an exceptionally easier draw than Michaels, Rock and Belvo.

i'd say killkenny are better than the gick, michaels beat them 19-0 this season with no representatives playing.CM wrote:How do you figure that one out?!The main reason they are so close in the bookies is because Clongowes have a far easier draw than Michaels.

gavin cummisky in the times said it was in the brook because rock were bound to draw a big crowd. im a bit annoyed it was though, the pitch is begining to cut up,i was there yesterday.there are 3 more junior games plus junior plate final and 3 senior games, leinster v treviso and leinster v connachtGrumpy Old Man wrote:On a side issue, why was the replay in Donnybrook? The Clongowes v Marys replay was held in Naas, despite both schools being on half term. Why wasn't the Kilkenny v Blackrock match moved to somewhere like Carlow?
