The Hurling Thread

[junior footballer]

I’d say a player would want to stab an opponent this weekend to get sent off, an absolute farce of an organisation

I hope Offaly beat Clare tonight. Lowry might buy a set of Jerseys that fit them for the final.

Watching the 2nd half of the minor semifinal Clare v Offaly and there’s been 2 clear cut red cards and he gives 2 yellows. And they were pure dirty too. It is true that you’d have to decapitate a man in a minor intercounty match before getting seeing a red.

Set of jerseys on the way so!

Great win for the Offaly boys, fantastic to see them back in an all ireland final

team announcements only for the programme printers I suppose but Lohan has left out Duggan and Hayes

Hearing reports that Damian Casey the Tyrone hurler has drowned in Spain. Fantastic player for club and county. Hoping the reports are unfounded.

Very sad if true, hopefully not. I remember reading something about his scoring records on the same weekend Hoggy was breaking the record, must try find it.

Edit, found it

Step aside Patrick Horgan: Damian Casey is the most prolific hurler (you've never heard of)

The Tyrone forward has played 100 games for his county, scoring in every one. His overall tally sits at 39-894.

His 1-12 tally in securing a Rackard final place takes him to 400 Championship points in 39 appearances.

But his overall form and record defies logic. Since making his debut at the start of the 2012 season, that was his 100th appearance over league and Championship. He has played in every single game since.

And, he has scored in each and every one of those 100 games. His overall tally sits at 39-894.

Unreal stuff, hopefully the reports of his passing are false.

Under any circumstances? - now that is a hostage to fortune - Wexford have big men in defence to handle the Clare forwards. Clare are rightly the favourites but under any circumstances? Shackle T Kelly and who knows. Don't bet the farm is my advice

From the Cork hurlers thread but it belongs in here.
The odds would be shit on a Clare win. I think Clare will do it but if they don't show us the same as they did v Limerick then I'm sure Wexford are only wishing it could be.
Clare are a very good team and I expect them to win but if the odds were sweet enough I'd throw Wexford into a small accumulator with Cork, maybe even a draw.
