2024 Premier Senior Hurling Championship

[Twiceasnice97]

Huge achievement for Sarsfields. The job their management have done is exceptional. I didn't think they would win it based on Ballygunnars history but also their style of running the ball so much against Feakle because that would give Ballygunnar targets to hit but they seemed to change their style and just go long time after time. that's not easy to do.

No real mention of Sweeney, the big man. This allowed them to go long and he rarely tried to catch it, just put up the Hurley and broke it down to the oncoming runners. Much like what Brian Hayes did fairly often with Cork this year.

Cian Darcy and Bryan Murphy were unreal. Ballygunner couldn't handle Darcy - he broke free of the challenges into space at will. How old are these 2?

Smart game plan, get runners going at that half back line and you'll expose their lack of pace. Ballygunner punished for not letting younger lads progress through over the last 12 months - Aaron O'Neill was probably the stand out waterford u20 playing wing back, much better than Harry Ruddle or Shane O'Sullivan.

Delighted for JOC, takes a lot of stick for his inconsistency, and even yesterday he mixed the great with the not so great but he is a seriously difficult lad to stop. Final score was class.

I believe his brother Evan is joining him next year.

Well done to Sars. Massive win. Good boost for the county.

The whistle had only blown and Pádraig lodge asked mullane will this win raise questions about a team losing a county final being allowed go forward, the is was then carried on by that flute O’meara in the studio who reached for the classic Rte gaa question about this giving rise to issues about the structure of the championship, just thought it was outrageous to be focusing on this rather then a brilliant performance and win but so typical of Rte where so many of their commentators/presenters are ill informed and don’t have anything to add to the flames themselves.
I’m not Sars obviously but I do think their attitude and performances since losing the county have been superb and as a cork man wish them well to win it out now

Surely it's embarrassing for Ballygunner to be 'bet' by a team that aren't even Cork county champions!

Not sure if a small tight pitch like newbridge will suit Sars. From what I recall the 65s were very close together before the upgrade. Slaughtneil are a physically strong team and they got the kick up the backside they needed on Sunday

The pitch was extended during the redevelopment and same surface as croke park
