Tomsmith Cavan here I just wonder when did the outgoing All ireland champions or anyone in fact score 2-20 and get well beaten? It was a fantastic score for a team that so well beaten in every section of the field. tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3856 - 04/09/2016 17:28:41 1909890 Link
Galway lost the 1990 allireland scoring 2-21. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 04/09/2016 17:42:21 1909894 Link

Just wondering how they managed to score 2-20 when they were beaten all over the pitch. Just shows what a clever team they are and how efficient they are with possession. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 04/09/2016 18:22:14 1909906 Link
Tom this happens quite a lot in hurling. liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 04/09/2016 18:44:19 1909916 Link
Not many teams concede 2-29 and win to be fair. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 04/09/2016 20:53:21 1909978 Link
Happens often in hurling. Antrim failed to win this year's Christy Ring Cup despite scoring 5-17 in the replayed final (32 pts). M Lyster (Antrim) - Posts: 461 - 04/09/2016 20:55:02 1909981 Link

Amazing 2-20 and were outplayed for 90 percent of the game - on top of that Gleeson had 3-4 good saves ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 04/09/2016 21:42:02 1910004 Link
If you offered me Kilkenny scoring 2-20 before the match I would have snapped your hand off. I wouldn't have been counting on our backs being cleaned out to the extent that they were, though. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 05/09/2016 05:35:38 1910050 Link
How easy is it to score in hurling! crikey (Australia) - Posts: 355 - 05/09/2016 07:48:32 1910057 Link
2-20 isn't that big a score in hurling anymore. Anything less than 20 points (the ball going over the bar 20 times) is bad day for a good hurling team these days. 20 points in hurling is about the equivalent of 12 or 13 points in football. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 05/09/2016 08:22:15 1910063 Link
26 points, or worse, and losing has been done five times in All Ireland hurling finals. 2016 Tipperary 2 29 Kilkenny 2 20 1990 Cork 5 15 Galway 2 21 1972 Kilkenny 3 24 Cork 5 11 1971 Tipperary 5 17 Kilkenny 5 14 1963 Kilkenny 4 17 Waterford 6 8 Never before by the reigning champions. Kilkenny's 5-14 in 1971 was the highest score to lose an All Ireland final. Laois' 3-22 (in 2015 v Antrim) was the highest score to lose a championship match. Antrim scored 5-17 that day. Laois' score would have won over 87% of all hurling matches EVER (all things being equal). Cully (Laois) - Posts: 375 - 05/09/2016 08:39:40 1910066 Link
Replying To Gaillimh_Abu: "1971: Tipp 5-17 Kilkenny 5-14" Read during the week that Eddie Keher scored 2-11 of Kilkenny's total that day. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 05/09/2016 09:27:45 1910083 Link
Replying To yew_tree: "Read during the week that Eddie Keher scored 2-11 of Kilkenny's total that day." Callanan scored 0-13 yesterday. He could've had a handy goal too. He came so close to that record. Cully (Laois) - Posts: 375 - 05/09/2016 11:46:58 1910160 Link
The amazing thing was that Tipp could quite easily have hit 5-35 or so.What an absolute roasting the Kilkenny backs got yesterday. Tipp will take some stopping next year! Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 05/09/2016 12:56:19 1910205 Link

Perhaps you calculated but where did you get the data? if you know that score would have won 87% of matches then you must have all of the results to hand...Thanks for sharing. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 05/09/2016 15:42:16 1910303 Link
Think the more telling statistic is that Tipp scored 2-23 from play compared to 2-8 for Kilkenny .......think that stat really shows the difference in the fluidity of the two teams yesterday PaudieSull1 (Down) - Posts: 738 - 05/09/2016 16:00:00 1910318 Link
Not championship I know but back in 2012 I think it was ,Dublin scored 6-12 v KK and lost by a point. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 05/09/2016 17:07:42 1910349 Link

Interestingly, the combined total of the two teams yesterday was 61 points, which is a record and is the exact same combined total as when they met in the 1971 final. It was an 80 minute final in 1971 though so yesterday's scoring rate is even more impressive. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 05/09/2016 18:07:48 1910376 Link
