It's back by popular demand, the hurling championship prediction thread for 2019 is here.

So, lads and lassies, the competition gets underway on Saturday 11 May and will run the exact same as last year. We will cover all five tiers of the All Ireland championship from the MacCarthy, McDonagh, Ring, Rackard and Meagher Cups. I will post up the fixtures for the weekend ahead and you need to predict the result of each of these games. You must also post your predictions on this thread before throw-in of the first game of the weekend.

It will run along the same lines as the league with the addition of a score margin of 1-5, 6-10 or 11+.

How to score:
2 points for a win
5 points for a draw
2 points for correct score margin (three options, 1-5, 6-10 or 11+)
(Only the result after normal time (70 minutes) is counted)

EXAMPLE:

Leinster SHC round 1
Kilkenny v Dublin - Kilkenny 1-5
Galway v Carlow - Galway 11+

Munster SHC round 1
Waterford v Clare - Waterford 1-5
Cork v Tipperary - Cork 1-5
