All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

I enjoyed the finals of 2009 and 2010 hugely. Great occasions.

@Heyyoubehindthebushes

Wait did cork shit the bed that day? Send home with yer tails between your legs after Pat Simon.

No need for anymore cork talk

Cc @flattythehurdler this is what your dealing with… New money no class

Yesterday they looked like a normal team doing the warm up. Same drills but touch looked well off where they were in Sept. Didn’t look half as tuned in

There’s definitely an element that they thought all they had to do was turn up yesterday. Human nature that you get complacent, a bit of hubris too. Keep an eye on the warm up in the final and report back Dan

You’re the one that brought it up!

No one with at least half a brain expected it to be easy yesterday.

King Henry of Galway (Part 1)

All jokes aside… Limerick will bate Galway by 14pts plus

Before the game preferably

I rest my case

The klaxon has sounded

Strange reaction from the Limerick folk to yesterday.

A real joylessness has crept in.

[KinvarasPassion]

I expected a solid Galway performance but expected we’d fall short. We were alot closer than I expected and a stronger bench might have swung it.

You’d like to think that Henry will source the players to fill the gaps.

A few key things… Conor Cooneys free driven into the goalies hands. Evan Nilands chance at the end. Cathal Mannion not winning a free after multiple assaults was a big momentum shifter… But ultimately I think Limerick would have found a way.

[peddlerscross]

Galway managed to humiliate the Limerick’s yesterday without beating them.

You can sense the Limerick’s are embarrassed by it all.

[flattythehurdler]

That’d be my take on it exactly.

[Batigol]

It’s hard to know if this is a sign of a solid improvement in Galway or just one of those random Galway performances that tends to happen every now and then. They were stone useless in the Leinster final and very poor against a shite Cork team.

They’ve a ton of recent minors that should be starting to come through, though I’m not sure if they’ve made as much of an impact as they were expecting at u20 level. Yet anyway

Absolutely mortified to be going to yet another All Ireland final tbh

Taggy Fogerty played that role for years. Back when Limerick were a shit to average team.

@BruidheanChaorthainn

One of the most amazing things about Limerick is it was 13 of the 15 from 2018 starting today and Peter Casey could have been starting in 2018 if it wasn’t for injury. David Reidy has been on the go since 2013. It’s a tiny group who have played the staring roles but immense credit must go the coaches and the panel for keeping things ticking in training. Very unusual.

[peddlerscross]

Yesterday reminded me a little of Tipperary vs Dublin in 2011.

I think most Tipp people would admit we were out of the zip and embarrassed to get over the line that day.

An embarrassment of riches

[Julio_Geordio]

What were you doing in Croker yesterday anyway mate, why weren’t you down supporting your minors?
