The Hurling Thread

[latchico]

Saw that and it was also mentioned as a resource for dementia sufferers , memories of old games etc for those of us who are older or for elderly parents neighbours etc.

Heard an interview on the radio about it yesterday. What a fantastic resource! There was a lady talking about her mother in the late stages of dementia who hadn't communicated with them in a long time. They put on a final for her and she immediately sat up listening to it and asked for s cup of tea. After it was finished she was talking to everyone about the match and all the players she knew. That's some lift to give you if you're losing a close one to dementia.

On another note you can put in the cc captions for sub titles...worth it alone just to see the pace at which Michael flies through the commentary. Can barely keep up with him.

Cathal Mannion named GAA player of the week. The strange part is he wasn't named on the team of the week

"Seán Óg Ó'Hailpín... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold."
Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh's on Cork's favourite son is still one of the greatest quotes in GAA history.

KK support in genuine shock over the result in Salthill.

I think it was another case to demonstrate that if you're not at the pitch of a game these days, not fully tuned in, any good team will put a big run of scores on you.

I think every top 5 or 6 team, bar maybe Limerick or Clare, have it in them to haemorrhage a rake of scores to any other top 5 or 6 team.
It's proven that you can recover from those kind of losses, and quick enough too.

Happened to Clare in the league v Cork last year and v Limerick in 2023. In the championship, v KK in 2022.

Don't think Limerick have suffered a defeat like that in years, in either league or championship. Closest I can think of is when Cork beat them by 9 points in the league back in 2022.

So all I need is a time machine and a gun and I can prevent it all ;-)

Jaysus, forgot that league game in Ennis.
OK, guess it is just Limerick who never get absolutely steam rolled then

The lifting the treaty scheme at underage under pat culhane was a huge driving force for change in limerick hurling.
In a lot better place going forward .

Limerick City's hurling revolution

By John Harrington These are boom times for hurling in Limerick city. Year on year more and more children are playing at underage level with both clubs and schools, and most clubs in the city are tracking an upward graph. It wasn’t always thus. In fact, it’s no exaggeration to
