All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

Sport
82

Iā€™ve come to conclusion that next yearā€™s championship is going to be the most exciting, competitive and even in living memory. Most teams capable of beating each other. Teams now familiar with the format some will be better prepared for it. Should be huge crowds at some of the round robin games like Tipp vs Limerick, Limerick vs Clare.

Limerick - best team in the country. Up on the pedestal waiting to be knocked off

Galway - most consistent team over the past 4 years

Cork - 2 in a row provincial champions and best team not to reach the AI over the past 4 years.

Clare - Seem to have rediscovered their 2013 mojo and have a bit of defensive solidity as well as blooding lads successfully.

KK - Codys last year surely if they donā€™t win it. A few of their elder statemen will see it as their last chance also.

Wex- Davys last hurrah with this team.

Tipp - Last chance for the 06/07 minor team. Will be buoyed by the under 21 win.

Waterford - Hangover of 17 exploits gone now. Will now have 2 home games.

Dublin - Very unlucky not to get a scalp in 18. Gilroy should now know his team better and will get some more players back.

Carlow - I hope they enjoy it.

Cody will go for a few years yet Iā€™d say. Still the best in the business.

85

Where do you think we will have our two home games?

86

Did I not read that he were hoping to have Walsh Park ready? Surely Kildare getting Newbridge for the Mayo game would force yer county board to force the issue.

87

They will bate Limerick a point a man in the league .

88

Not a hope it will be ready for 2019. We donā€™t even have planning yet.

89

Maybe so. The lack of an obvious successor helps.

90

Cody wonā€™t go until he lands one more at least.

91

They will really show us.

They will beat the all Ireland champs in first league game and Davy has 2 more years goodwill .

I imagine the announced dates for the Munster championship means the All-Ireland hurling final will be on August 18th with the football final on September 1st, rather than the mooted dates of August 11th and 25th.

I imagine too that itā€™s only a matter of time before the finals return to their traditional/modern traditional dates on the first and third Sundays of September. Iā€™ll speculate that that will happen in 2021.

99

Awful draw for Limerick. Three in a row again. Wont get out of Munster.

100

We will weā€™ll beat the savages and Cark at home and beat Waterford wherever we will throw the Tipp game to avoid a Munster final to give us a handy spin against Offaly before the real competition begins

101

Hopefully the all Irelandā€™s stay in August. Great to see the club game getting a chance to breathe.
