All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019 II*** Up Laois

He was no more a coach than the man in the moon

I was hanging out with him, Donners and Mas O’Leary a few weeks back.

8 teams in Leinster? Sure they’d be loads of hammerings. 6 would be ideal.

He’s saying the bottom 2 in Leinster would be relegated into Munster to make it more competitve

Ha ha.

Rationale

Spoiler Alert

Limerick will beat Kilkenny, not before a serious battle where KK will stay within striking distance for most of the game before Limerick pull away beating them relatively comfortably for a finish. KK’s full back line will prove to be the weak link as Limerick run up big scores in the last ten of both halves which ultimately is the difference. Talk will be of the end of Cody’s era and his reluctance to adapt to suit his team.
Wexford will beat Tipp after a very hard fought turgid affair possibly requiring a replay. It will be cited that Tipp are broken mentally after the Munster final and that this is the end of the road for an old Tipp team and they require a full overhaul.
Wexford will get carried away on a tide of emotion there will be lots of talk of 96,and how Wexford beat a fancied limerick team etc. Davy Fitz will be hailed as the greatest hurling mind of all time. The dancing at the crossroads song will be updated and re-released. AI tickets will be like hens teeth and trade at a savage premium.
Limerick will then absolutely stuff them in the AIF and the game will be over before the first half is.

Fair play to you for doing so much considered work. A worthwhile read, for sure.

But just thought you would want to know the word in question is ‘rationale’…

Indeed

No big deal. But a lot of admirable work went into the piece.

Kilkenny should narrowly overcome Limerick in the AISF, as Kilkenny are on an upward trajectory, have key players back that were missing last year, and Limerick peaked for the MF. Tipp have been playing rope a dope and will easily dispose of Wexford, setting up the decider for team of the decade.

I would expect Kilkenny to win the final as they have better battling qualities than Tipp who tend to fold under pressure.

Plagiarism is a terrible thing

Don’t follow, sorry…

He’s claiming first dibs on spelling “rationale” correctly.

Oh right… Didn’t see it – but, a broad sweep of the hat…

Audit trail

I found myself nodding along in agreement with all of that.
