The Hurling Thread

[Pooman]

Waterford went very close last 2024.

Only because we handed them 2 points.

Hard to back against Tipperary at the moment.. most seem to be convincing themselves that they have come out of the blocks too fast and wont last the distance for championship, but thats just conjecture and people trying to rationalise the massive turn around. And the opposite for Clare.. despite not having started yet no one will write them off because 'its only the league'

If I had a gun to the head Id have Limerick favourites, us next, followed by Clare and Tipp for the last spot - I'd go Clare, big ask without SOD though. I dont see Waterford being at the business end when it matters

The beauty of Munster hurling.. who knows!

It's incredible. Dog eat dog. Meanwhile fairly average Kilkenny team probably set for AI semi final, just phoning it in for Leinster c'ship.

They coughed up a 4 pt lead v Tipp late on, which kept Cork alive,

 

[North Cork]

and were only eliminated after Clare got a very late 65... which kept us in the competition.

Predicting the outcome of Munster is very much a lottery.

You are spot on North Cork.
Pat Ryan himself said it a couple of weeks back that there is no guarantee anyone will get out of Munster. Waterford at a minimum can hurt the others chances but don’t be surprised if they do more than that. I honestly think there isn’t much between the 5 teams now.

If they can get their best team on the pitch and aussie gleeson gets back to form I'd fancy them

How has Gleeson been going? oddly I've seen very very little of Waterford so far.

Ive only seen him play once, he was looking sharp enough but carrying a decent few pounds
A bit like Shane Dowling in the player fit jersey

Dowling is gone full Junior B.. he looks heavy and stiff.

What a joke, after all Burns Bullshit last year they are still on a Saturday

Hurling quarter-finals still have Saturday billing as more GAA+ controversy looms

The All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals have been listed as Saturday fixtures once again with the Tailteann Cup football semi-finals retaining their Sunday afternoon slots in June, according to the RTE schedule of championship games for 2025.

Ah, it’s understandable to be fair! He’s retired from IC a few years and lads with that ability will get away with it at club level for another few years after.. bring them back out on the IC pitch again though and its another days work!

Who knows whether Gleeson can get back to where he needs to be, some hurler on his day though once he controls the shithousery
