The Hurling Thread

Dublin will definitely be motivated for the Kilkenny game, making a Leinster final v Galway would be decent progress for them.

If Offaly can beat Wexford and Kildare in their final 2 games plus Dublin beat Kilkenny in the final round then Kilkenny would be out.
Highly unlikely I suppose but not impossible.
Definitely not certain now that Kilkenny will be in a Leinster final

None of those results are highly unlikely taken in isolation. The Dubs haven't beaten KK in championship since 2013, but they gave them a rattle last year in Nowlan Park. Likewise, Offaly haven't beaten Wexford in an age, but they were close to taking them last year and Wexford's form is on the floor. The combination of the three results is unlikely alright, but not Twilight Zone territory either.

KK fans looking for Lyng to be "SACKED TONIGHT" and for Cody to be brought back

Great to see that result for the competitiveness of Leinster hurling. I dunno does it say more about KK woes than Offaly's improvement though?

Bit of both

It was a decent result for Offaly given that Screeny was out injured too but a pity they didn't get the win , still it's given them something to aim for now in final two games

Kk will def get to 5 galway already have 6 and dublin have 5.
Offaly have a great chance of getting to 6 with games v wexford and kildare.
Dubs v kk in parnell park could be a humdinger.

If screeney was playing offaly would have probably lost as his replacement eoghan cahill scored 15 points, 13 frees. Screeney is not great on frees from outside 60 yards while cahill nailed everything .

If Offaly get Screeney back for the Wexford & Kildare match they have a super chance of getting 3rd place.

They have some cracking young hurlers.

Summer hurling where they can use their legs suits them. League hurling, heavy ground is a disaster for them.
Every chance against wexford whose confidence must be on the floor.

I see Charlie Mitchell had to go to hospital after the Kilkenny game as he wasn't feeling well. Worrying enough as he had to take time out earlier in the year due to heart issues. The intensity of inter county hurling is hardly helpful. I know he'll be monitored well and all that but if I was a family member I couldn't even watch him playing with the worry he'd collapse during a game.
