Good second half Veronica but they are well beatable. No where near what they used to be. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 20/04/2014 15:26:39 1577642 Link 0 |
You would like to think both teams are holding something back I certainly hope so as on this showing neither will go much further than last year. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 20/04/2014 15:37:11 1577647 Link 0 |

Good win for kilkenny, 1-16 to 0-15 after being down 11-6 at half time. Impressive showing from some of the younger players like Brian Kennedy and Padraig Walsh. Backs were very impressive and used the handpass and short stick pass well when possible which they haven't always done. Ball into the forwards is still predominantly long and high which yielded a goal from John Power but a bit more variety wouldn't go amiss. I'm sure Shefflin at his age wasn't thrilled having to chase into the corner after balls going over his head the whole time. All in all though, motoring nicely but we always seem to do in the league. Galway will take a lot from the overall performance, they hit the crossbar in the second half when scores were level which could have turned the game. Ultimately though they lost second half by 1-10 to 0-4 which Cunningham will be worried by I'm sure. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 20/04/2014 15:42:21 1577649 Link 0 |
Well done KK great second half. Galway will take plenty of positives from this and there will be bigger days ahead this summer, Glynn was one of the best for the tribe suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1674 - 20/04/2014 15:48:41 1577650 Link 0 |
Ps, agree with Damo, hooking and blocking by both teams was exceptional throughout. Just goes to show if you stick with your man you'll always have a chance to get a hook in, no need to give cheap frees away. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 20/04/2014 15:51:34 1577653 Link 0 |
Great crowd too by the looks of it. This could be interesting! Tipp need to go into the Summer on a positive note and Clare love beating no-one like they love beating Tipp :-) hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 20/04/2014 15:58:04 1577656 Link 0 |
Not blaming the umpire cause it's impossible to see but that ball didn't go over the line for the Clare goal. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/04/2014 16:05:27 1577659 Link 0 |

Tipp man lay on it on the line and would have been a peno. Was not a goal though. Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 20/04/2014 16:43:48 1577673 Link 0 |

Grete performance of cynical fouling from Clare today. Gave away two 21m frees and a penalty. Tipp got 0-02 from these... Literally no punishment. RebelCork (Cork) - Posts: 789 - 20/04/2014 17:34:42 1577698 Link 0 |
Fair play to Kilkenny and Tipp. I just hope Galway can learn from this match today and be ready for the championship. Sigh. WoodlawnPat (Galway) - Posts: 288 - 20/04/2014 17:38:01 1577701 Link 0 |

Better performance from Tipp today, although I don't think Clare will be too disappointed, their eyes are on summer, I don't think a league final would have done that much for them. It's a repeat of last years league final, and we all know what happened to Kilkenny and Tipp in last years championship. I still have a feeling that neither team will make the AI final.

The results didn't bother Clare or Tipp today, Clare just went with a plan and when it didn't work they didn't really change away from it. Davy didn't want to be giving to much away as for tipp was it a game we really wanted to win as Kk will take some beaten they are looking very good and have to be fav for the all Ireland before the championship even starts. Another defeat to Kk could derail the whole championship for Tipp therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 20/04/2014 19:17:58 1577739 Link 0 |
Winning matches builds momentum too and Limerick look in dire straights once again. They really do look to be a one season team dare I say it. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 21/04/2014 09:44:32 1577850 Link 0 |
