Dublin took over sole ownership of first place in the Leinster Provincial Championship table with a 0-27 to 1-16 win versus Westmeath as Kilkenny lost by a point at Galway (1-24 to 3-17).

[References: 3-4]

Round 4 (14 May 2022)

Gaillimh moved into first place with a 2-37 to 0-21 victory over Laoise, as Cill Chainnigh defeated Átha Cliath 3-25 to 0-17 and Iarmhí won 2-25 to 0-21 versus Loch Garman. [References: 3-5]

Gaillimh secured first place by handing Átha Cliath their second defeat in a row 0-27 to 0-21 and Loch Garman’s victory over Cill Chainnigh by 1-22 to 1-18 was not enough to secure a place in the Final for the Yellowbellies as Cill Chainnigh won the tie-breaker with Loch Garman and Átha Cliath to go through to meet Gaillimh. Iarmhí had a big 5-24 to 1-18 victory over Laoise to hand their rival midland county the wooden spoon. [References: 3-5]

About the Leinster GAA Hurling Senior Championship 2022

The Leinster GAA Hurling Senior Championship (SHC) is one of two Provincial Championships at the highest level of Inter-County Hurling in Ireland in 2002. Six Counties entered the round-robin (league) Championship, with the winners and runners-up going on to meet in the Provincial Final. These two counties and the third placed county in the league stage also progress to the All-Ireland Championship with the Provincial Final winners receiving a bye to the All-Ireland semi-Finals; the Provincial Final runners-up meeting a Preliminary Quarter-Final winner in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals, and the third-placed county in the league stage meeting the Joe McDonagh Cup Final runners-up in a Preliminary Quarter-Final. Five Leinster counties of the 12 in total competed: Dublin, Kilkenny, Laois, Westmeath and Wexford; as well as Connacht representatives Galway. [References: 3-4]

ABOUT the GAA Football Senior Championship

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [References 5-6].

The GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the pinnacle to the Inter-County and GAA Football seasons, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the second half of the GAA Inter-County season, from early April until the September when the All-Ireland finals are played. The format is increasingly complex each year, with the traditional four Provincial Championships preceeding the All-Ireland Championship. [References: 5-8]

Format

There is since 2001 a “Back Door” or Double Elimination system in place whereby Counties defeated prior to the Provincial Finals can re-enter the draw via the All-Ireland Qualifiers, from which four Qualifiers meet the Four Provincial Champions in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. From the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals onwards there is Single Elimination (Straight Knockout) in place to decide the All-Ireland Champions and the winners of the Sam McGuire Cup. [References: 4, 8]

From 2022 the Tailteann Cup has been introduced, whereby Counties from Roinn’s 3 and 4 exclusively in the GAA National Football Leagues (Divisions 3 and 4) can compete for a “Division 2” Championship and have the realistic chance of winning an All-Ireland Championship. Counties which reach their Provincial Final are excluded from the Tailteann Cup. [References: 4, 8]

All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship and B Championship Overview 1987

The 1987 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was a marathon for its time, beginning on May 3 with a Senior B Hurling Championship Preliminary Round game between Meath and Kildare and concluding on September 6 with Galway’s triumph in the All-Ireland Final.

In between Carlow won the All-Ireland Senior B Home Championship; London won both the British Provincial Championship and All-Ireland Senior B Championship; Tipperary the Munster Senior Hurling Championship (having to win both Semi-Final and Final on Replays); and Kilkenny won the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship. With the Senior and Senior B Championships inter-locked through the Senior B Champions qualifying to meet Antrim in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals, it was a long and tricky path for any potential All-Ireland Champion. [References: 1-23]

All-Ireland SHC B Home Championship RECAP

Carlow defeated Down by a single point in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Home Championship Final at Trim on 21st June 1987 and would go on to take on London for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship and the right to play Antrim in the GAA All-Ireland Senior Championship. [References: B 8]

The SHC B Home Championship had started with a preliminary game in Newbridge in early May where Meath easily defeated host Kildare by 2-13 to 0-6 [References: B 1]. The First Round games later on in May were hit by the withdrawal of Mayo, who with only 45-50 Hurling players in the county and a large amount of injuries could not take the pitch at Aughrim versus Wicklow who received a walkover to meet Carlow in the Semi-Finals [References: B 2] . Carlow had knocked out Meath by five points in Round 1, winning by 3-17 to 4-9, in a high-scoring encounter [References: B 3-5]. The other Semi-Final was to be contested between Roscommon, who had little trouble defeating Armagh; and Down, who had a lucky escape against Derry, needing a replay after a last minute equaliser against the Oak Leaf county in the first match [References: B 4-5].

The Semi-Finals saw Down step up against Roscommon, winning 2-19 to 1-5, while Carlow were made to work against Wicklow, prevailing 1-13 to 0-12 [References: B 6-7] . The Home Final, played in Trim, saw Carlow again winning narrowly, this time by just a point as they triumphed by 1-15 to 1-14 versus Down, and would go on to meet British Provincial Champions London in the All-Ireland SHC B Final. [References: B 8]

British Provincial SHC B Final RECAP

London were made to fight hard to defeat Hertfordshire by just two points at the Hertfordshire home in Watford in the GAA British Provincial SHC B Senior Hurling Championship on 24th May 1987. With the victory London went on to meet Carlow, the All-Ireland SHC B Home Champions, in the All-Ireland SHC B Senior Hurling B Championship decider for a shot at playing Antrim in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Quarter-Finals. [Reference: B 8-9]

Leinster SHC Recap

The 1987 Leinster GAA Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was won by Kilkenny after a “brilliant comeback” in the final versus Offaly [Reference: 5]. The Cats were not extended in earlier rounds when defeating Westmeath by 15 points and Wexford by eight [References: 2-3, 10]. Offaly had disposed of Dublin (eight point margin) and Laois (six point margin) to set up the finale [References: 1, 4, 10]. The Cats went on to meet Ulster representatives Antrim in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals. [References: 5]

Munster SHC Recap

Tipperary won the Munster GAA Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) for the first times in 16 years in 1987, after coming out on fire in Extra Time versus Cork in the Munster SHC Final Replay to win by nine points [References: 13, 19]. Tipperary had run a marathon to win the Munster Championship by the standards of the day in 1987, having to first defeat Kerry in Round 1, before needing a replay against both Clare (in the Semi-Finals) and Cork in the Final [References: 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 19] . After Clare almost pulled of the shock of the Munster Championship at Killarney, the Premier County “went on the rampage” in the Replay, outscoring Clare by 4-17 to 0-8 [References: 8, 10].

In other matches the Deise had also come close to causing a shock in the First Round, losing 1-14 to 2-15 to Limerick [References: 7], who were defeated by Cork in another Semi-Final Replay [References: 9, 11]. After Tipp’s momentous victory they went forward to meet Galway, the Connacht representatives in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals [References: 12-13]

All-Ireland SHC B Final RECAP (British SHC B Champions v Home SHC B Champions)

British Provincial Hurling Champions London travelled to Carlow for the GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Championship Final where they triumphed 0-20 to 1-15 against the hosts and Home Final Champions, Carlow, and thus joined the exclusive club of GAA Senior Hurling Championship Counties as their reward was to meet Antrim in the SHC Quarter-Finals. [References: B 1-2]

All-Ireland SHC Finals Recap (Provincial Champions and All-Ireland SHC B Champions)

Galway ended an agonizing sequence of two All-Ireland Final defeats in two years by defeating Kilkenny 1-12 to 0-9 in a tense and low-scoring All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) Final at Croke Park on 6th of September 1987. [Reference: 23]

The All-Ireland Finals series had begun in Casement Park, Antrim where London, the British Provincial Champions and All-Ireland Senior Hurling B Champions had put up a brave fight against the Ulster representatives, who had no opposition in the Championship prior to meeting the exiles. Antrim eventually prevailed 3-14 to 1-15 [Reference: 20].

Likewise, Galway, with no opposition at this level in Connacht, were playing their first game of the Championship when they defeated surprise Munster Champions Tipperary in the Semi-Finals by 3-20 to 2-17 [Reference: 21]. Antrim were not the pushover that was expected against Kilkenny in the Semi-Finals in what was turning out to be an entertaining and highly competitive Championship [Reference: 22]. Kilkenny eventually saw off the gallant Ulster county 2-18 to 2-11, before succumbing to the Tribesmen in the All-Ireland Final. [Reference: 22-23]

Recap

The 1987 Leinster GAA Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was won by Kilkenny after a “brilliant comeback” in the final versus Offaly [Reference: 5]. The Cats were not extended in earlier rounds when defeating Westmeath by 15 points and Wexford by eight [References: 2-3, 10]. Offaly had disposed of Dublin (eight point margin) and Laois (six point margin) to set up the finale [References: 1, 4, 10]. The Cats went on to meet Ulster representatives Antrim in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals. [References: 5]

About the Leinster GAA SHC Senior Hurling Championship 1987

The Leinster GAA Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was one of two Provincial Championships at the highest level of Inter-County Hurling in Ireland in 1987. Six Counties entered the single elimination (knockout) Championship, with the winners going on to meet the winners of Antrim (the sole Ulster county at this level) versus the Senior Hurling B Championship winners (London) in the All-Ireland SHC Senior Hurling Championship Semi-Finals.

About Hurling

Hurling is an ancient Gaelic Irish Sport, and one of the four Charter GAA Sports of 1884. It is played with a Hurl or Hurley (stick) and a sliotar (ball) and is one of the fastest team sports in the world. It is 15-a-side and Goals (worth 3 points) are scored as well as points (over the bar – worth one point). It is organised on a Club and County basis like most GAA Sports and has County, Provncial and All-Ireland Championships. Within both Club and County Championships there is the Hurling League (usually run over winter) and the Hurling Championship (usually run over summer). There are about 12 Top Level (Division 1) Counties that play for the Liam McCarthy Cup, as well as the Christy Ring Cup (Division 2), and Nicky Rackard (Division 3) and Lory Meaghar Cups (Division 4). Outside of Ireland there are 14 Counties that also play Gaelic Football and sometimes Hurling, with London, Warwickshire and Lancashire taking part in the lower levels of the All-Ireland Championships.

Report

Naas bridged a 17-year gap in finally winning the Senior Hurling Championship with a 0-15 to 0-12 win over Coill Dubh in St. Conleth’s. Coill Dubh were disappointed with their performance in the Final, missing 12 scoring opportunities, including two goal chances. Naas led 0-9 to 0-5 at the half, and scored most of their first half points from frees – only Shane Ryan & Brian Byrne scored from play, whereas Coill Dubh scored 4 of their five points from play. Coill Dubh never changed their tactic of sending long balls directly into the forwards, and this was read easily and lapped-up by Naas in the first half. Naas were more settled in this game, and were assured throughout the game. They won by 3 points in the end.
