The traditional stalwarts of Div 2/ 1B hurling.

If it wasn’t such a stomping it would have suited tipp to lose. theres surely a bounce back, and surely another full back that can be tried

7897

Did we all notice the nice blonde lady patrolling the sidelines in a dress and boots today? Seemed to be the lass who was doing the Official GGA’s instagram and chatsnap updates.

Brendan Maher, Paudie or even Barry Heffernan could do a better job you’d feel, but I think Sheedy will persist as Barry has done this job to an All Star level before.

The big issue is who compliments Noel at MF & finding a balance up front with natural scorers and men who will Track back and give & take hits.

A pure workshorse needed, not common though. Persist with breen? He wont have to face that opposition again until a possible final

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.

7901

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.

7902

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

7903

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

7905

A timely revision in order im sure?

7906

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

7907

I admire that in a way.

7908

We did indeed

7909

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

7910

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.

7912

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.
