All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

[myboyblue]

Thats how you do it you shower of cunts.

[flattythehurdler]

The way Wexford are cowering, we’ll have to.

[Breaking_my_balls]

They have their All Ireland song out already in the Banner

“Liam McCarthy is on his waaaay”

[KinvarasPassion]

Gearoid Mac spent the week in the NOGRA Healing Stream™️, passed the wheelbarrow of mortar up a scaffold plank test and was all set for Sunday but I’m hearing a Portuguese ManOWar is after nailing him in his last session. He’s inside in ICU in a bad way with the legs hanging out over the end of the bed.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

There’s a fierce smell of piss, linseed oil and sadness in the visitor room.

Will they wake him at home due to the Covid ?

[Pirlo]

Lads arguing about town transfer rules laughs from Wexford town

[habanerocat]

Lots of lads on here fierce nervous, causing them to spout awful rubbish.

@alf_stewart

I’ve played at high enough a level that you know that whatever runs take place before the ball is pucked out you need to be attacking the ball face on on to snatch it in the paw. Otherwise you’d want to be Stephen hendry figuring out the angles, velocity and pace and so on. You suggested a lad stand with his back to the crowd and use his hurl as a shield and just saunter on to the field to catch a ball. Come on now. Are you serious. You do realise the fundamentals of the game don’t you!

Any answer?

Ah Drom/Broadford is a Hurling Club with a Football problem!

Who have you in the 11 Hurling clubs? Starting furthest West off top of my head and forgive my geography now

Templeglantine
Tournafulla
Monagea
Killeedy
Knockaderry
Feohanagh/Castlemahon
Feenagh/Kilmeedy
Granagh/Ballingarry
Croagh/Kilfinny
Adare
Askeaton

You’d have to add Newcastle West who are now Premier Intermediate, the 2nd highest grade? That makes 12

Drom/Broadford won the County Junior Hurling Championship in 2015 I think? County Semi Finalists again in 2020.

That’s 13 clubs who take their Hurling seriously is the way I’d put it. Traditionally (since the late 90s anyway) Football would have been given more importance and resources in both NCW and Drom but I think that’s changing in NCW at least.

Then you have Rathkeale who were recently Senior Football but contested Co Junior Hurling Final in recent years

St. Kierans are certainly primarily a Football club but were last year’s beaten Junior finalists too

Sole Football Clubs, starting furthest West would be??

Athea
Fr. Caseys
Mountcollins
Glin
Gerald Griffins
St. Senans
Cappagh
Ballysteen

Ballysteen same parish as Askeaton so hurl with them and Mountcollins same parish as Tournafulla so they play with them?

A lot of Abbeyfeale lads hurl with Templeglantine or Tournafulla I’m told.

And Athea have started underage Hurling, I spotted they’re fielding at u13 anyway

Some amount of Mickey Mouse clubs there, sounds like a pub league.

[Tassotti]

Cody has Kilkenny flying, the last training session was better than the Munster final, they played 4, 8 minutes matches of backs against forwards and the likes of it wasn’t seen in a long time, savage intensity and stickwork, TJ Reid is seriously focussed

[backinatracksuit]

Everybody playing the poor mouth

[Thomas_Brady]

TJ, PJ, JJ, DJ… They’re all flying

[Ralphie]

PJs financial backing has the Limerick lads flying as well

[Thomas_Brady]

Limerick will win but it won’t be a cake walk. I think Galway will rip into them and will enjoy a physical battle. They’ll slip away around the 55 minute mark.

[Aertel220]

All one touch hurling. Using that no talking drill that’s all the rage where you can’t call for the ball off a teammate. They’ll be telepathic in Croke Park come Saturday.

[backinatracksuit]

I’d be shocked if Limerick don’t race into a large early lead and cruise home by at least 12 points, no way it’s a contest, Galway are absolutely shocking

[pulpfiction]

Eoin Murphy is hitting the ball higher than ever recorded in training.

[Tassotti]

Galway won’t keep it pucked out to limerick ffs

[Thomas_Brady]

That’s silly talk. It’s a semi final, it’s Croke park… It’s another two weeks Henry has with them. They haven’t been great their last couple of games but every day is completely different at this stage. They have some top players who will relish it… Every single team Limerick played this year, except Cork, brought a savage fight and Galway won’t be any different. They obviously need to tighten up on puckouts and use of ball into forwards but 9/10 of them are AI winners and will be respected as such.

[fenwaypark]

@Thomas_Brady

but every day is completely different at this stage.
