Cork/Kilkenny All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final

I would expect Tyrell to go centre back if Hogan doesnt make it. Kavanagh to come in at corner back.

That would be the logic but Kavanagh fractured a finger the week before last and is touch and go allegedly as well…

Hadn’t heard that. Is Paul Murphy on the panel? Corner back on U-21s two years ago. Very good hurler.

Some farce of a hurling championship we have all the same. Semi-final stage and the game is more or less a case of fulfilling the fixture.

he is, played a few league matches, was midfield for the 21’s this year IIRC…looks a serious corner man in the makings

two good goal chances go abegging for kilkenny…some fine scores taken so far

Great goal from Killian Buckley…Galway backs look very loose

Super start to this - hope to get in and see most of the second half live.

Ah another goal for the KKK. :rolleyes:

Buckley to the fore again…Runners just pouring through the middle of the galway defence, second goal for kilkenny

Yeah that one from Cillian Buckley was coming. KKs FF line look very dangerous.
Great responce by Galway 2 points in a minute.
Another goal there for KK
Another point for Galway, goal in it now.

Unreal stuff this 2-04 to 0-7 only 12 mins played.

Shane Moloney shows Farragher how it’s done…Harsh free given against Buckley for that score

Willie Phelan :smiley:

KK well on top here and they can smell blood in front of goal, Brennan and Hanrahan causing serious problems… Galway need to bring there own FF line into play and nick a goal or two to have any hope
2 bad misses from frees there from Power

Shane Maloney :clap:
Daithi Burke :clap:

keeper could have done better there

young power isn’t afraid to pull any way

8 points @ HT and Shane Maloney off :frowning:
Keep it respectable now lads :unsure:

Where does Mattie Murphy find these goalkeepers?

:lol:

The heart is well and truly gone out of Galway now. Shocking stuff.
Taking off your two best players, Hoban and Maloney(neither of whom appeared to be injured) hardly helped their cause
Mattie can kiss any hopes he might have had of ever managing the seniors again goodbye after this
