All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

You’d have to say Limerick did a far better job of playing possum the last day than Tipp did today. Tipp would have been far better off if they had kept a few Mahers and McGrath’s in reserve.

Never saw Breen as a midfielder anyway, was a FB as a underage player.

I’d love to see him succeed but every big game passes him by.

Robert Dillon and Niall Óg playing in Nowlan Park that weekend so I’m tentatively revising this to Portlaoise.

It’d be gas if this scenario happened and we played and beat Dublin in the semi-final and a resurgent Kilkenny in the final.

Winning an All Ireland without playing any Munster team and only defeating Carlow, Kilkenny and Dublin.

I’d grudgingly accept it.

Listen kid. I don’t think you’d be begrudgent about anything if that happened

A timely revision in order im sure?

Jesus, no. Although we’ll struggle to win the Champions League if Tierney joins Arsenal.

I admire that in a way.

We did indeed

The top 6 on hurlings roll of honour are the 6 teams left in the championship. How fitting.

There are 8 left

So the quarter finals look like being Cork v Kilkenny and Tipp v Dublin.

Surely won’t be a double header anywhere with the pairings so two stand alone fixtures…?

Cork v Kilkenny in Thurles.
Tipp v Dublin in Portlaoise (with Kilkenny playing the same day they probably won’t have enough stewards to man Nowlan Park.)

Some joke that the Joe McDonagh winners are out again six days later.

All jokes aside, a double header in the Gaelic Grounds wouldn’t be the worse shout here.

Can’t see them dragging both Kilkenny and the Dubs to LITGG.

I was thinking myself that GGs would be ideal for it.

As alluded to earlier by @PhattPike, Bob Dylan is gracing Nowlan Park that weekend.

In all fairness they will have to have it as an extremely attractive double header in LITGG.

Are the super 8s commencing that weekend? if not then the GAA will probably play the safe option and have it in Croker

That’s a game changer.

LITGG it is.

Are the Dublin footballers playing that weekend in Croker? Could see a double header with Cork Kilkenny in Thurled

Huh?
