Galway yesterday were like mayo last week. They totally dominated the opening half but had no lead at half time.
Both games were essentially over five minutes into the second half.

Limerick have excellent hurlers and work effortlessly in the same direction tactics wise.
But, itās their fitness thatās winning games imo.
There isnāt this magic hurling ability they possess, itās the fitness to consistently overrun the opposition and run them into defeat.
Itās a simple fact that hurling alone wonāt beat them, youāll need to be fitter & stronger too.
Awesome group of athletes

At least he got to swop jerseys with Gillane
Leinster Final was an odd game truth told.
Kilkenny with 55 minutes of hurling played were probably 10pts the better side imo.
With 3 minutes to play Galway should have been 4pts up and winners.
Kilkenny sucker punch them & win.
Dunno if Lyng has been building KK slowly preparation wise but today will tell as Clare are definitely a few levels above Galway looking at yesterdays result.

Be nice if the lads could run up the total required before 4pm today.
Havenāt checked the weather yet so that could be a silly statement from me.
Darragh OāDonovanās stats seemed very underwhelming for a MOTM playing midfield when they put them up after the match. One point, one turnover, 13 possessions even doesnāt seem like a lot. The clips they showed then didnāt really reveal anything out of the ordinary except one very important point in the first half. Maybe they had more evidence on the Sunday game last night.

Incorrect, LK are fundamentally fucking useless according to the most knowledgeable hurling expert on this forum.

Many of those possessions resulted in scores. There should be an assist statistic, giving its a team sport.

They won a good few in first half, completely cleaned out thereafter
Clare May throw their hat at it if they canāt beat this Kilkenny side today.
If Michael Donoghue hadnāt gone near Dublin his star would be through the roof getting an All Ireland out of some of those Galway lads

Assists in hurling are stupid. Same with soccer. Canāt be punishing someone for a perfect pass and then the striker missing the shot
Data providers that I know for Gaelic Games use āsignificant passā as their thing. Itās a pass that leads directly to a shot. Doesnāt matter if itās scored or not
āKey passā or āchance creationā will become bigger than assists in soccer eventually

Thought Hayes was MOTM. He ran clean through Galway at times .

You some class of a halfwit if you are wound up that easily 
Youād think heād quote me properly when heās at it.
That second half yesterday was RIP.Hurling stuff. The segment with all the sideline cuts was the worst Iāve ever seen.
Galway played well for 25 minutes but the manner in which they downed tools made the rest of the game a total non event. Little point in reading anything into it.

The stats in gaa the public see are worthless really. I often see one spectacular catch or score have people think a fella was class when in reality he did fuck all. Iām not saying DOD didnāt deserve the MOTM just the stats and clips they showed certainly didnāt prove it.
Yes, really.
