2016 Allianz National Hurling League

Good game, fair result.

Tipp got what their work-rate deserved there.

Some finish by John McGrath for Tipp’s goal. Class skill by Tom Devine to have a chance to win it, but just dragged his shot but didn’t matter in the end, monster free from Gleeson.

Good, intense game. Both those teams look to be decent, 2nd and 3rd in the country, ahead of the pack based on showings to date.

That was some monster free by Austin Gleeson to win it. Good to see Patrick Curran getting a sustained chance this year.

Now thats a good weekend. Limerick, Liverpool and Munster win. Tipp and Man U beaten. Life is good

Would like to see Curran closer to the goals I think he is a serious prospect
Devine is a good target man
Aussie should be allowed the freedom of the park he’s wasted in the FF line
Shane Bennett is a great bit of stuff
We still have Shanahan, de Bourca, Stephen Bennett and Paudi Mahony to come back

Bad clare team on show last night 2016 good bye

Davy and Donal Og in Thurles today.

I hope that they took notes

The head on the ould fella celebrating the Waterford win here.

its march but ye look good

Galway made a decent comeback against KK today. For a team thats in heavy training it gave some hope. Nice to see Matthew Keating getting a try out.

Yeah Joe, I thought we were gone after 50 minutes and it would be a damage limitation exercise. But they dug in hard and got the better of Tipp with the help of some timely substitutions. Then we switched off and left the cunts back into again and we had to go and win it a second time. Serious going to do that in fairness.

We need a bullet proof free taker though. We are losing 2-3 points a game on frees. Hopefully Mahony will be back soon.

As an aside Tipp are a huge team. But how did O’ Dwyer stay on the pitch for that pull. Semple Stadium was like a cabbage patch today as well.

Strange line out going by reports but its the time for experimenting and heavy training i suppose… Cork inadvertently doing them a favour by being putrid,or is there a play off for relegation?

Some score to win it, never a free though.

Tipp got a fair few handy frees so I suppose it balances out plus Bubbles should have walked
I never saw Thurles in such bad condition

That was a filthy pull by O’Dwyer. Knew exactly what he was doing.

Lyons bottled out of the deserved red card.

@Fagan_ODowd seen there really enjoying that free from Aussie.

Hopefully the GAA will hand out a severe ban for the horrific assault by the tip number 13.
