Quite possibly- speaking only about Tulla but what seems to have stood to the news a lot of the team were 18 going in 19 and would have had probably ten or so lads who played senior or intermediate club hurling the previous autumn heading into the Harty.
There will be a lot of really solid club hurlers gleaned from the side but Hogan was the only stud.
Tipperary have a noticeable lack of pace all over the field. Their best hurlers are also the slowest to compound the issue
They love their hurling down in Tipp.
They love Tipp hurling in limerick as well these days
Looks like a Limerick v Clare league semi-final could be a real possibility.
In PUC?
No, Clare people can’t make it that far
I’d go down to Ennis to play them.
Other Semi, Tipp v KK?
Play it in Croke Park. The Clare crowd could do with the experience. They haven’t looked great there the last few times.
The most likely pairings are Limerick v Clare and Tipperary v Kilkenny, depending on the result of Clare v KK today.
Double-header in PUC most likely.
I get the feeling a Limerick Clare match so close to their championship meeting would be like two lads sandbagging their shadowboxing
I would have to agree looking at some of Harty games this year. Lads on these development squads seemed to lack desire and hunger. Too much too soon maybe
Tipp can’t make it if Galway beat Limerick
Not his biggest fan but Connolly was good last night. Had a couple of bad wides.
Kennedy is going to be a loss if out. I think we will have to revert two of Bonnar/Dan/Bowe in the half forward line. Bonnar & Dan will break up the ball compared to Tynan & Stakelum who are poor in the air.
One of Tynan & Stakelum in midfield with Noel playing a roving role. Noel had a bad game v Galway compared to his usual high standards but we still him.
They can if they put a cricket score on Antrim. All three teams would finish on 8 points and scoring difference would come into play. Limerick and Galway are superior at the minute alright, but Tipp have Galway on head-to-head if it came down to it, which is unlikely.
Tipp are guaranteed a League Semi Final.
Score difference only applies to the three teams in a tie. Tipp are done on +4.
Limerick +1 and Galway minue 5.
Both cant catch Tipp.
Nope. If Galway beat Limerick then all 3 will have beaten each other. Galway would have to put 30+ on us and Tipp the same on Antrim for them to qualify. The only way Tipp are guaranteed a semi is if we either beat or draw with Galway
One positive for Tipp last night was that the three goals were well finished.
No the rules on score difference have changed.
Results v Antrim, Dublin and Westmeath dont matter.
