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

That @Mac cunt with his constant sly digs at Tipp, as if there is some sort of rivalry between Wexford and Tipperary.
Iā€™ll tell you one thing, I would love it if we beat them, love it.

They might be cunts but theyā€™re our cunts.

It was 2007, wexford were poorly supported. The hoorlin and football qualifiers in damp summer evenings late noughties were electric. Half empty stadiums, Thunderstorms, de lights on. Tannian timbered all round him after in what was an epic moral victory for us over the GOATs

Rivalry? Sure Iā€™ve just said weā€™ve only played you 4-5 times in 50 years. Your manager is already trying to claim underdog status. The thoughts of facing Davy must have your heads wrecked again.

Keith Rossiter. Brilliant reader of the game. Part of Davys back room team now

Really? Hed have kill a fella but was a lovely hurler he could stand of his man at fullback and hurl away like a centre back.

Davy has beaten Tipp once in Championship Hurling in his management career, Tipp never feared Davy.

KK bate ye out the gate in that 07 Qualifier.

No they didnā€™t. It was level after 60 odd minutes. Iirc Kilkenny got a fortunate enough goal and kicked on as they did at that time but Galway gave them bags of it. Alan Kerins had a blinder the same day.

By far the toughest game they got that year

To my eye, that 2007 AI quarter final was only matched or surpassed for standard during the decade by the KIlkenny-Tipperary 2002 AI semi final and the 2009 AIF. The 2009 Kilkenny-Galway Leinster quarter final.was also a fine standard.

Someone (derek hardiman?) ran over a ball and eddie brennan got in for a goal that killed it. Kerins was able to turn it on alright i remember him getting five points off philly larkin in one half earlier that decade

John lee was another lovely hurler from that decade that never really kicked on. I think he was a doctor.

A wild man at times. Striking was too slow though. That decade was basically ollie canning carrying them.

Can anyone name galways free taker that day in 2007 without googling? (i had forgotten and thought it was healy)

Ger farragher?

No but a good guess

Wade? Didnā€™t commit the following year

Correct. I sae him play a junior final for sarsfields last year. Another one that got away
