Look of surprise and shock after I backed Limerick to win at half time at 7/4

Replying To St.Mologga:  "I'm afraid not, John Kiely & his Limerick side will land in Cork I expect fully focused & anxious to get their 3rd win in a row.

We could be on the end of a right thumping Saturday week.

I suspect in the stands we will be out numbered too, the Treaty county have massive support & will no doubt enjoy their trip to Cork.

Clare & Limerick will meet 2 more times in my opinion."
Wrong on many counts! Keep the faith!

Hard to predict this Waterford team.
Davy has them cooking though. They've been fierce quiet too.

Waterford hurlers are still under radar. Almost as quiet as Cork and Clare football teams, who go at it on Saturday.

clare will beat waterford 6+ waterford had a great chance of getting out of munster for the first time with a 4 point lead heading into injury time again tipp......they will regret dropping that point.

That's the way to keep it. Sure we are no hopers and how dare we raise our heads and think we can win. Upstarts.

I am certainly not ruling out a Waterford win. I am predicting a draw in Thurles. Could this one in Ennis also be a draw? There's still quite an unknown quality to this Waterford team. And do Clare have the maturity/experience now not to flop like they did against Kilkenny last year and the year before? Clare seems to perform better when they are underdogs rather than when they are fancied to win. And as we can see on here, many of you strongly fancy them to win. I'd be very hesitant about Clare being the done deal yet.

The early 90s are a long time ago now Canuck. Don't think anyone still thinks of Waterford as no hopers.

Of course ye have a chance but all the others are saying is that Clare are favorites at home and rightly so. Waterfords record against Clare since 2020 is very poor and especially in Ennis. That being said, this will be a close game and its Munster championship so anything can happen. If we play to 100% and so do Waterford however I expect us to win.

If we are off, we are likely to get caught. Simples

I'm a glass half empty type of chap, while I was surprised by the Limerick result & delighted, I'm not sure we will back it up against Tipperary, who also have a gun to their heads.

By Sunday 6pm all Rebel supporters will be alot more clearer on the development of this current Cork side.

Best of luck to all involved in Cork GAA & safe travels to all this weekend.

Listening to the U20s on the radio, seems like a well deserved Cork win. A few good future inter-county lads on either side.

Really enjoyed watching that match last night as a neutral..in the end it was the difference in physicality that won in finish..cork look to have some crop of players coming through,big problem might be getting a bulk of them through to senior..very impressed with number 6 and 11 and also thought the number 12 who came back from the football..Clare also seem to be heading in right direction and hegarty and gunning look as if they can definitely step up..whelan looks a very decent forward and I thought stritch looked very dangerous..a couple of decisions on either side but overall the ref helped in making it so enjoyable..one thing that did annoy me was the wild celebration of Ben o Connor after the game,it was a semi final and they still have tipp to play in final..I didn't like him giving high 5s to he cork players in front of the defeated Clare players..surely he might have controlled it until reaching dressing room..

Greta to win BOC is the manager though but they have a great team with them will surely step up to u 20 would be phenomenal to make final again this new executive let by County Chairman & Deirdre Murphy having some impact we hardly won a match underage in years previously makes you wonder how we tolerated such mediocrity from previous executive.

A win on Sunday would be massive league & Munster final what a year that would make but Limerick so competitive & hungry we will have to 100% for full match will he start TK might he consider him for midfield

Definitely backed it up against Tipperary. Winning by 5 goals. Glass half full yet? Nice win by the footballers over Donegal as well!

Tipp won the final. Ben O' Connor showed a lack of class from your comments after defeating Clare U20's

All teams celebrate after winning. It's all part and parcel of the game. All the same, must have been tough on Mayo supporters after 2012 all Ireland with Donegal, when the tune of "Jimmy's winning matches " resounded across Croke Park!
