Clare v Tipp officially sold out.
Clare will have Conor Cleary, Oisin OâBrien and Ian Galvin available for selection after missing the Waterford game due to suspension and injury.

The bould Donie was sitting a few rows in front of me on Sunday.

What a fucking crawler.
Nice to be nice
Former INTO President if itâs the same man Iâm thinking of
Heard a sports bulletin on WLR earlier that Philip Mahony is out for 8 to 10 weeks and faces a race against time to be fit for a potential All Ireland Quarter Final. Donât stop believin.
Nice to see Leinster having the stage to itself on Sunday after two borefest weekends in Munster. Shame that the two best games in the championship to date (Dublin v Wexford and Kilkenny v Dublin) havenât been televised live by RTE, but better late than never. They have the clash of the Leinster kingpins from the west of the province, Galway, versus Wexford at 4pm on Sunday.
I completely endorse the below opinion piece by Alan Aherne in The Wexford People. Itâs almost like we discussed the issue between us.
Galway have better players than us and theyâve well figured out Wexfordâs set up under Davy at this stage after we caught them in the league in 2017. We beat them in the league quarter final last year too but, apart from that, theyâve won 4 of the last 5 if I recall correctly (Leinster Final 2017, Leinster round robin 2018, Walsh Cup 2019, League semi-final 2019).
So why not go and pose them a few different problems? Weâve a bye week to regroup and two home games to finish if it goes pear shaped but worth a try imnvho.
Bullet points:
Galway are like anti-mushrooms . They can disappear overnight.
Galway by 6+
Leinster hurling is for peasants. Stop trying to pretend yeâre significant and leave the hurling for the big boys down South.
So youâre predicting that a team with 4 points will qualify??
If Waterford won their two remaining games against Limerick and Cork, theyâd probably qualify.
They probably wonât win either game, mind.
Two wins should suffice for Waterford. As you said though, theyâll more than likely lose both.
Similarly, if Tipperary were to lose both their last two matches, every chance theyâd be out. Very likely in that scenario if Cork win their two remaining matches. Having said that, I expect Tipperary to win in Ennis, which will most likely seal top place.
How so, do they not have a huge advantage with scoring difference. Theyâd surely need to be hammered twice?
If Tipperary finished level on 4 points with one of Limerick or Clare, theyâd be behind them on the head to head. If you had the other of Limerick or Clare on 6 points with Cork, thatâs Tipperary in 4th. Weâre in the realms of the purely theoretical here anyway. I expect Tipperary to win in Ennis, theyâre the form team of the Championship so far and justified favourites now for the All Ireland.
If Tipperary lose their last two matches, theyâll likely be relying on Clare to beat Cork in the final match for them to go through
If Tipp lose their last 2 games, Cork win their last two and Limerick beat Waterford, Tipp are out.
If Tipp lose their last 2 games, Cork win their last two and Clare beat Waterford, Tipp are out.
Clare beat Waterford last Sunday week in Walsh Park. Keep up.
