6 Teams Left In A Hurling May 24Th

(Oldest Posts First)

Seems mad that there are only 6 teams and 7 matchs left in this years all ireland hurling championship. Be very little PR of hurling with only 7 games . The football will be similar in another 2/3 weeks . The World Cup will never have had such a free run at the Irish sporting public to promote soccer .
Are the Waterford , Tipperary , Kilkenny hurling championships starting soon seen as they are all out in May ?

Its the negative side of the split season. The alternative is a double round robin provincial championship with a straight all ireland final between the winners. The NHL would have to be shortened though.

Every year with this. There's only 10 serious teams. They can only play each other so many times. Any more games at this stage would get very tiresome. why are people so determined to mess witth what's already working.

Who gives a fiddlers about the world cup, a total red herring Donal og & Pat spillane have managed to out into peoples heads aabout other sports getting more airtime. People who wanted to watch the world cup are going to watch it regardless.
