Replying To baire: "Up until the 1980s what was the number of top hurling counties? How many were there in Leinster?" It depends on how you define a 'top' hurling county, anyway, why are you asking me? I never said anything about 'top hurling counties'. But since you ask, there were 6 top hurling counties up until the 1980s, 3 in Munster (Cork, Limerick and Tipperary), and 3 in Leinster (Dublin, Kilkenny and Wexford).

I see that you've got your sense of humour back since Cody retired! lol
I asked you the question because you responded to another poster by saying that you only lost more than you won to two top counties, LK and Tipp. Before the 1980s hurling at inter county level was dominated by three, Cork, Tipp and KK. Those three counties had won more than 20 AIs each whilst the rest had won less than 10, most of them less than 5.
I'd say that Galway might have won more AIs if one other of the Connacht counties could compete with them, as Wexford competed with KK in the hurling or Cork competed with Kerry in the football. The provincial system was a total failure for the likes of Galway and Antrim and it may not have suited some of the Munster or Leinster counties either.

Having another strong hurling county in Connaught would probably have meant that Galway would never even have gotten out of the province and not won the handful of titles that it did, prior to moving Leinster.
It might have been a Sligo man or a Rossie making that victory speech in 1980 instead of Joe Connolly.
Be careful of what you wish for. You might get it!

Having a competitive province is a good thing for any county.

Up to 1980, Dublin played in 53 Leinster finals, winning 23 of the them. They also played in 21 All-Ireland finals, winning 6. If they weren't a 'top' county, they certainly competed regularly in finals against the top counties. Likewise, Limerick who played in 37 Munter finals and 13 AI finals.
"I asked you the question because you responded to another poster by saying that you only lost more than you won to two top counties, LK and Tipp".
If you read all the comments on this topic you'll see it is another poster who said "both Tipp and Limerick have the advantage over KK on Final day meetings" someone else replied "they [KK] also have lost to more times than they have beaten several other top counties". My reply to him, was to point out that 'several' is not the same as 'two'.

Tough on Waterford who had won Munster and had beaten Galway to meet another team of country hurlers posing as Dubs!
