The Hurling Thread

Tipp have more of a settled look tomorrow. Ronan maher, Robert Doyle and forde starting. Darragh Mccarthys brother getting a go too.
Be worrying for them if they can't beat waterford

Waterford are without Stephen Bennett but still have a fairly decent team out. I'd love if Galway + Waterford won this weekend and turned the Kilkenny Tipp game next week into a relegation game

Tipp v Waterford game postponed to next weekend.
RIP to the kiely family on death of their dad .


Please note that tomorrow’s Allianz Hurling League game against Waterford has been postponed following the untimely passing of Benny Kiely, father of Waterford hurler Michael Kiely (Abbeyside Ballinacourty).

I agree with Donal Og regarding KK's struggles with trying to work the ball through the line. I mentioned it after the Cork game that a few of them just don't look suited to it and are fighting their natural instincts to go direct into the forwards.

McManus reckons KK forwards aren't suited to winning direct ball. I'm not so sure about that when they are at full strength.

Cusack trying to put the boot in tbf.

McManus for me is a fella who over eggs the Leinster Championship. It’s miles behind Munster and has been for nearly 10 years. Galway are improving for sure and Kilkenny will always be dangerous.

Lyons doing his best to ruin the game already. Some very soft frees being given.

Where has Billy Drennan gone to? Is he no longer on the KK panel?

Refs games like he's reffing his lads in school

Can’t find anything online but his Wikipedia page says he played for Kilkenny until 2025.

Not sure. Thought of him last week and was wondering that too. When he was a minor he looked like the next big thing coming up for KK
