Nothing to be gained from that experience at all.
A closer final would have stood to the younger players but a hammering like that?
As well off trying to forget about it.

Limerick are class but how many Galway players actually had good games. We kept carrying the ball around the middle and they were swarming us. Cathal Mannion alone must have been turned over 5 times.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Thats my original question though.
Will you continue to stick up for one another in a 32 county republic or will you lose that and consider yourselves unconditionally as one with Irish people south of the border."
We already are at one with our neighbours in Donegal Monaghan and Cavan and look forward to the day when we are a 32 county republic. By the way I take great joy in seeing Armagh and sometimes Derry take a beating.

Well done to the Leitrim u15s yesterday against Sligo coming from 7 down at half time to win by 1 great comeback. Hard luck to Leitrim u16s losing out to a strong Galway side in the Father manning semi final hopefully they stick at it and give the Connacht minor championship a good rattle next year.

Kerry 2022-Current Team Better Than 04-09 Team? - 1 Like(s)

Replying To TommyBermingham:  "Team of naughties couldn't never win the tight games. No issue now."
Yes they could. It's not Kerry's fault Tyrone were nowhere in those other years. It's fairly disrespectful to talk of a team that made 8 finals, winning 5 in that way.

Replying To sligo joe:  "Surely Limerick were not class on the day, yes they are a class team but won easy today with an average performance"
Limerick did the basic right and never needed to reach any great heights to win comfortably as Galway was so poor on the day.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Genuine question Saynothing.
No antagonism intended,but if/when we do achieve a United Ireland,what with our different histories,will you and other northern catholics see yourselves as one with us free staters or will there still be an element of separation,as there is in the GAA for example where Ulster teams will generally root for one another in big games."
We pay the same taxes as you but we support all Ulster teams.

Hurling Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Congratulations to Limerick who are top of the chart again after losing out surprisingly to Dublin last year. Limerick's dominance is beginning to look a lot like Kilkenny's dominance in the previous couple of decades. I know it won't be discussed in media nor GAA circles but the gap between teams in Munster and Leinster is widening. People will point to Galway defeating Cork in the semi-final but I think this is a one-off rather than the norm. There was a significant gap between the two teams in the final today. Galway, Dublin and Offaly were all well beaten by Munster opposition in the latter stages of this year's hurling championship. Since Kilkenny's decline, no other county in the province of Leinster have been able to beat their Munster counterparts when it matters. If current trends continue then the All-Ireland hurling championship will be fought out between Munster counties in the future; with their Leinster counterparts watching from the sidelines. I don't think this is good for the hurling championship as there are a limited number of teams at All-Ireland standard prior to Leinster's current decline.

I think you're wrong there. You're overrating Galway's capacity perhaps. In hindsight, there was flimsy enough evidence that they'd have enough to 'show up' against Limerick. What I can't fathom is how Cork managed to get hammered by us.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Hurling has seen some bizarre games the last few seasons.
Hopefully todays game was another one of those amd not an accurate indication of the gap between the two."
I dont think there is a big difference in terms of hurling ability or athleticism. Galway have put up huge scores throughout this championship and you dont achieve scores like that if you dont have hurling and athleticism. Today they experienced Munster Championship intensity and physicality. Limerick are used to and excel in that environment. It waa new to Galway , at least it was at that level. It was the difference because we were only a 7 out of 10 today hurling wise but won all the battles or as good as.
