2016 Bord Gáis Energy Under 21 Hurling Championship

Haven’t seen him hurl much but Russell was good for the intermediates. Having said that he’ll probably be marking English so it’s a step up. Barry Heffernan will be playing in the forwards apparently

What time is renowned in tonight?

Good start although it looks like we have a savage breeze with us. Ben O’Gorman lording it

Clare full forward is being allowed do what he wants

Lovely touch & score from Stephen Bennett.

Aside from their big names this doesn’t look a particularly good Waterford team, some average hurlers on it. But Bennett, Gleeson and Curran are class acts at this level

Gleeson is some thug.

Gleeson is the best I’ve ever seen at sidelines

They did win a minor All-Ireland tbf.

Obviously those star players (and Stephen Bennett’s scoring prowess) were a big factor but the likes of Foran, Kearney and Roche are all good players too.

Most of these Clare players are fairly unheralded, although that may have to do with being mismanaged at minor level possibly.

Waterford will win this yet, although Clare are probably more solid in general

Throws galore.

They lost twice wining that minor all Ireland didn’t they?

True enough.

Waterford will win this comfortably. Clare have a massive breeze with them. Waterford utterly dominating the middle third now. Clare’s only home is a couple of goals against the breeze

Curran roasting his man now as well.

I’d be very wary making early judgements on players but you’d often see minor teams look poor then get one or two wins and improve immeasurably over a few months.

Really? He’s scored a few lately but has battered a load miles wide. He doesn’t seem to have much control over his strikes.

Red rover.

Stephen Bennett still has the goalscoring touch.

Waterford hurling needs this a lot more then Clare.

Flying it now since half time.
