    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    Given how stacked a lot of county players need to be to survive you’d wonder. There was a time a hurler would look skinny next to say a Munster rugby player…not anymore

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    jaysus that’s awful for him. Weakens cork too. I suspected he’d be a starter. Crazy number of top level hurlers have done the cruciate recently. We’ve had more than our fair share in Limerick. Some like Finn twice. Best wishes to the lad.

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    Certainly up there. Although the 3 matches between cork Limerick and Clare this year will be epic. Full houses expected. Skin and hair flying. Tell the refs to stay at home. Can’t wait.

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    I think it’s a match that will bring on both sides . A fair bit of filth was to be predicted from both sides given last season and the fact that even reds at this stage wont make a massive difference. Anyone that thinks senior intercounty is tiddlywinks is deluded. Flanagan will get at least...

    He did. Aidan o Connor will be free taker I’d guess. Very good.

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    Barry Murphy at 4 is very left field. Good stickman. Plays at 6 for doon. Converted forward. Are they planning Nash at 6 eventually?? Adam English will play at midfield this year I think. Played nearly all his games last year there bar the semifinal. Hes very busy and brings a lot of...

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    We played Hayes at 6 first half. Second half was WOD. Cathal o neill out with hamstring I would have expected him to be trialled at 6 again. Team was a good chunk away from full strength. Hannon debuted in the league in 2010 so would expect to see him till the end of the league at the...

    The Hurling Thread

    I tend to agree in terms of the pressure off. Like that Dublin team they are confident of their legacy while still being good enough to climb the steps of the hogan. Clare too have released the pressure valve. That team will have deserved at least one all Ireland. Lets be honest the biggest...

    Nicky will be a big loss Injured in a 5 a side with friends apparently. Rotten luck. I’ve thought for a while that Limerick need a shake up of personal. The same faces carrying the can have become slightly stale. That said I’d have hoped to get another year out of Nicky. A new goalie is asking a...

    Cork Hurlers - Part 2

    I’d have normally discussed other hurling on the the hurling thread. But if people are discussing next years championship I think it’s going to be an absolutely fascinating championship next year. Clare are worthy winners there will be a big relief to get over the line at least once but they’ll...

    Mcinerney got destroyed by hegarty in Munster final. Ryan had an average Munster by his standards. Both came good in the final and were instrumental in their win. Downey is the only halfback that did well all season. But that’s always the way for all Irelands and the rub of the green that a...

    Shane o Donnell wins it hands down. Played well every day and carried the team when Clare were under the pump. Fitzgibbon was there until the final. Cathal Malone should be In the mix for all star for his final performance alone.

    hurling is hard. If you don’t pick up the fundamentals at a young age you won’t continue. Lads aren’t playing it with the pals in the playground for health and safety reasons so unless the parents are taking them out pucking around and getting them to bate it off the wall and don’t mind your...

    Kyle Hayes - a good GAA man?

    I’m referring to Hayes’s tackle on Kingston which was brain dead in PUc. Personally thought Hayes had a great second half that day…..had we won he would have been one of the guys who got us there. He was v poor in the semifinal altho a lot of us would put the blame for that tactically with...

    Kyle Hayes - a good GAA man?

    Really. God I thought it was the most brain dead tackle I’ve seen in years. Gave no choice to the ref Now David mcinerney in the final. That’s dark arts par excellence….is he falling. Is he fouling. Ref can’t be 100% certain so opts for the safe option.

    Kyle Hayes - a good GAA man?

    Maybe I am being harsh. I just wouldn’t think much of hitting a lad a shot in the stones. Anytime I hurled that a cowardly act. I certainly wouldn’t be idolising the act even if the other player is a proper pup. He had a Great semifinal and zero issue with the two of them knocking lumps outta...

    Kyle Hayes - a good GAA man?

    I find the posting of Hayes in a heap interesting. In all my time going to Limerick games I haven’t seen Kyle go down soft previously whatever about his off the field activities. You’ll find very few of us who have any time for that what has happened off the field. Those acts are for courts to...

    I think this is a very valid point. Every year you can have your underage “developing” but that year all that matters is winning at senior inter county. Form isn’t even that important. Learning to win ugly is. Being the best team isn’t even the point … Galway were best team in 2018 but didn’t...
