Yep. Probably the best transfer of u21 to Senior greatness ever!

I don't think that's reflective of our current style at all. Tough conditions usually favour the team with less hurling as the contest becomes more physical and this is easier to match. Dry day means pure hurling is performed at greater speed which would certainly favour us. Provided we actually turn up of course which is no certainty.

Unfortunately I Don't think the dubs will have to worry about points difference this year, because I think this will be their last points to win v Westmeath as I expect Galway and Kilkenny to both beat Dublin.....now I could be wrong but will have to wait and see!!

Tiobraid I'm agreeing with you on the performance of Morgan,has been outstanding..I've asked if he was brought in 3 years ago he,d now be established and possibly a leader..ive asked about paddy cadell and Jerome Cahill,two outstanding in those 2 teams but havnt got an extended run.do you think if Callanan and bubbles were available kehoe would have got his chance??i will say I'm not unhappy that tipp look a long way off,and we in limerick need to make the most of the good days we are having..we will have our bad days again..

Important to recognize that the basis of that Waterford team could never beat our lads in the Munster minor finals

Pretty sure its head to head if two teams but score difference if 3 or more teams finish on same points

They did but Limerick beat them in a replayed Munster Final in Both '13 and '14 and beat them in '16 in Walsh Park. Great matches, all five of them.

For the weekend I'm going for a draw between KK and Galway but wouldnt be surprised at all to see KK winning this one well. Dublin to win by 8+ and Wexford to just about get past Laois by 2-3 in the end. Against everything I've seen this year I think Cork will surprise a lot of people and run up a big score against Clare and win with a bit to spare. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 27/04/2022 14:57:48 2413656 Link 0 |

You almost always wrong so that's a comfort. Surprised you didn't pick Westmeath to beat us. We might rest a few for Salthill depending on how things look for the last day although i would prefer not to personally :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3090 - 27/04/2022 14:58:33 2413657 Link 0 |

Of course he should. Your neighboring cats are Kilkenny people. I'd readily expect a KK person to know more about hurling than I do; paws down! However, Viking you quite often display your own Scandinavian heritage when it comes to your knowledge of the game of hurling: rather remote and insular. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2093 - 27/04/2022 15:14:50 2413661 Link 1 |

I was watching Dublin v Wexford the last day and I don't know how some of the Wexford lads didn't get seriously injured! Dublin have to be the most awkward hurling team out there.....wild mad swinging and then just pox lucky with scores...its like they close their eyes and just hit the ball hard up into the air and hope it goes over the bar! It's funny watching them. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2471 - 27/04/2022 16:25:39 2413695 Link 0 |

Good 1! I should've used " every dog on the street knows more about hurling than Mr Young"! I go to see 40 odd games of hurling every year and watch the same again on TV or live stream. Not as remote or insular as an expat in Japan! As reflected in our performances as tipsters. Leaving out Wexfords results, who I'd have to tip even against Limerick due to a belief that its bad form to back against your own, I've guessed the result of every Championship game of hurling right this year in both Munster and Leinster. Tips for this weekend- feel free to visit your online bookies Mr Young- Wexford Galway Dublin Clare Although, bravado aside , I wouldn't recommend anyone rush to the bookies with these four as an accum as Cork or Kilkenny or both could ruin it. Actually feck it I'll throw a tenner on it. You picked - Laois Kilkenny Dublin Clare You have done fairly well so far this year. Apart from also getting the 2 Wexford results wrong you also thought Cork would beat Limerick. Maybe you will even up the score between us this weekend.

They did for sure. And those same lads should really be going for 5 in a row now. And it would be Kilkenny as usual spoilt the whole thing!!!!!

I don't recall anyone laughing at us last Summer or in Parnell in 2019. One of the reasons Galway have such a bad record against Dublin and certain other teams is that you have some bizarre notion that you are on the same historical plane as Tipp and Cork and the Cats, or even Limerick who were never gifted an All Ireland semi final for 50 years. I'd imagine they would have won a better share of them too . What possessed Henry is beyond me, but there you. Pity maybe ... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3090 - 27/04/2022 17:32:58 2413716 Link 1 |

I'd b careful... This might not age well based on recent history. Dublin hurling core following are great hurling people generally, but I'm inclined to agree... I may be a hurling snob, but it just doesn't look right to me Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3125 - 27/04/2022 19:23:07 2413728 Link 1 |

What was Dublin's record in Leinster before Galway arrived?

As a matter of interest, given that Galway was the best team (and only team) in Connaught for all those 50 years that you mention, or even more than 50 probably, were Galway crowned Connaught champions each year? If so, Galway would have to have more provincial titles than KK or even Kerry (football). Some guy like PJ Molloy would have about 20 Connaught medals or more. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2093 - 28/04/2022 09:43:59 2413773 Link 0 |
