Replying To Tiger1:  "Well im telling you what im thinking theres going to be a massive game in us and if Galway can match it fair enough but i think Kilkenny showed how poor Galway are so for me its Wexfords day."
Seemingly Dublin were lucky to defeat Offaly and we know how poor Offaly were against Galway and then Dublin beat Wexford. Make sense of that for me?

It's Leinster Round Robin. It's not supposed to make sense! We lost to Antrim then beat yourselves last year. We lost to Westmeath then beat Kilkenny the year before. We drew with Westmeath then beat Kilkenny the year before.
And all the time we have only beaten Dublin once since 2008. There's no sense to it all.

I can't call this one, both teams are fairly unpredictable. I will say that Galway at 1/3 is a bit mad and if I was a wexford man I'd be having a bet on Wexford. Gun to my head I'd be leaning towards home advantage swaying it our way. But no result from a Galway 8 point win to a draw to a Wexford 8 point win would surprise me

As a neutral, I wouldn't bet on this game. I'm looking forward to it. Big game for both sides."
Galway handicap of -3 , Kilkenny-12 and Antrim + 9 looks a nice one!

From floating around the Country there is not a word about the Wexford game. Most people I met have spoken about how will Galway be looking in the Leinster Final v Kilkenny?
