While today had some great sporting occasions all over the world, hurling stood tallest again and produced, what a championship this is so far.

Kilkenny have now entered their longest period without an All-Ireland since 1993-2000. #GAA

Imagine only 50k went to watch Dublin Donegal, along with another Super 8..... 82k were at Dublin Laois Leinster final in '07.

The Modern game is just not exciting to watch, crowds can't get into it and are not going to games
Clare supporters are 'led' from the field, having entered it to celebrate their sides All-Ireland quarter-final win over Wexford in Pairc Uí Chaoimh. Photos by John Kelly. pic.twitter.com/j8injx1Kva

The prospect of Daithi Burke going up against John Conlon is one to be savoured. #GAA

Horrible half of football... any scores that have come are from pace. Slow play and build ups again. No bite no slickness. Both sides making terrible mistakes. Kerry looking very average. Primary possession is vital and Galway winning nearly all their own kickouts.

Paddy Tally has now been part of coaching teams with three different counties to beat Kerry in championship games, Tyrone 2003, Down 2010, Galway 2018. Surely a unique achievement?

The zorb race at half time has been the highlight of the kerry Galway game

Said it on Monday that the Cats were vulnerable but my god did they fight for their lives an incredible County that left it all on the field again in 2018 that said Limerick came of age today and their comeback after the goal was savage what a game!!!!

Forget the World Cup. Their No other Sport on this Planet that comes Close to hurling for Entertainment and Passion. 25 points from play for Limerick Unreal. Cork v Limerick Part 2 will be Epic pic.twitter.com/6J9nzjAKfg

Ah Lord God almighty that is an incredible win by the Kildare u20's. Unbelievable stuff to beat any Kerry side especially under Jack O'Connor. Great to be in an All Ireland Final. Croke Park Sun 5th of August at 13:15 v Mayo #Gaa #KildareGaa Come on the Lilywhites of Kildare
- The Cill Dara Times (@CillDaraTimes) July 14, 2018
Nervy stuff but a very important win to continue a big weekend for Monaghan. Niall Kearns a standout performer on his first championship appearance at Croke Park.

I hope this World Cup Final is even a tenth as exciting as that Limerick-Kilkenny match. Ferocious stuff. #gaa #gaago

Tyrone ruthless today. Some excellent moves. SUPER 8's designed for competitive games? Could be a long month for Roscommon.

2011 Donegal vs Dublin SF: Donegal play defensive system and get labeled the worst team in the history of football
- John Toner (@jtgalway) July 14, 2018
2018 Donegal vs Dublin S8: Dublin knock around the ball for 20 mins to hold a 4-pt lead and they're a class act; it's up to Donegal to chase the game#DUBvDON
Unbelievable that in 2018 Tipp dual star Orla O Dwyer is asked by fixture makers to play for the @TippLadiesFB at 1pm in Nenagh v Kerry then off to the Ragg for @camogietipp v Offaly at 5pm. Same day. Both senior championship games. Both vital. What about player welfare? #GAA

Only 3 hurling matches left this summer is very depressing thought. #gaa

What a wonderful sporting gesture from @DubGAAOfficial this afternoon in the Leinster Minor Shield Final, performing a guard of honour for the winners @OfficialLDGAA. That's what makes our games so special #gaa pic.twitter.com/DcM9Aj18Yl

And just put Eoin Murphy on Mexican border.
Nothing would get past Kilkenny keeper.
Freakishly talented, absurd reflexes.
A master at work in Thurles today.#KilkVLim #hurling #gaa
Seldom if ever have brothers been shortlisted for Man of the Match in the same game like the Morrissey brothers today. #GAA #Limerick #Hurling pic.twitter.com/9xTTFLZTTz
