Yeah, Iâm expecting Galway to bottle this battle as well.
Thereâs no option C Whiney kiely
A question Iâm asking myself tdb. I think the cost of hotels in Dublin is a factor - most people would have to travel home at 7pm Saturday evening.
But still 40k for an AI semi would be shocking
This unseasonal early Championship has just failed to capture the imagination of the public
Very original
It dawned on me yesterday that i could have been in Adare on MondayâŚa lucky escape.
A lot of the same lads would have been the fellas sewing the big munster flags together and changing the nuns wheel in Poland. They loves the day out
Put yourself in there as Option D
Iâm throwing my support behind Clare for the rest of the championship.

Itâs estimated Limerick will bring north of 35k this weekend
So out of the 23 West Limerick Clubs, only 5 of those clubs are âFootball onlyâ clubs, and that includes Abbeyfeale who are closely aligned with Templeglantine (and to a lesser extent Tournafulla nowadays). It also includes Athea who have started fielding underage Hurling teams
So in reality, 3 clubs out the 23 West clubs are Football only clubs with no route or access to playing Hurling in their parish or local area (St. Senans, Gerald Griffins, Glin)
Myth busting stuff.
The grades most of the clubs play at is a different matter alright but itâs not the wasteland for hurling itâs painted out to be either
This talk of Kilkenny flying in training is fairly amusing as if it means anything nowadays. Like people putting too much stock in the league. Ye should hear the stories that come out about Cork hurling training sessions. 3 in a rows and 5 in a rows were within reach based off Cork hurling training form. This forums favourite Darragh Fitz is probably the best training player in the country. Only for it all to turn to shit on the Saturday or Sunday in Championship. Now Cork have a different issue to Kilkenny but the point still stands.
Way back when we used to be shite (difficult to remember back that far and to comprehend, I know!) inevitably youâd always hear they were âflying in trainingâ before inevitably getting beaten.
Galway doing their usual comeback to make things look respectable after the other team has given up.
Wexford lads sneering about Galway GAA
You couldnât make it up.
Same amount of All-Ireland SHC wins since 1989 and Wexford with one more overall.
Know your place.
What, that Cork are out of the championship and KK are still in it?
Wexford have won the All Ireland Senior Hurling, 6 times.
Galway have won it 5 times.
Cringe for @croppy_boy.
Typical of the minor counties that they count only one team in one sport.
Theyâll scurry away now to keep Galway minors out of Leinster. Itâs all they have left to do this year.
