What are your predictions for the 2014 hurling championship?[/QUOTE]
Iāll come back to this anon, pal. I need to run some checks and complete some calculations.
Thanks, Bandage.
Iāll start with Leinster, pal.
A lot of people have Laois down as certainties to win the Round Robin and their display against Clare in the league quarter final made people sit up and take notice. But I think Antrim could cause a relative shock and pip them to top spot in this section.
That would result in Antrim facing Wexford. Wexford will win this and go forward to play Dublin in the semi-final at Wexford Park. Wexford will win this too (exclusively live on Sky Sports)
In the other side of the draw, Kilkenny will annihilate Offaly (exclusively live on Sky Sports) and Galway will get the better of Laois. Kilkenny will then defeat Galway.
That means all will be right in the world and weāll have a traditional Wexford v Kilkenny Leinster Final. Kilkenny will win this.

Thanks, @Bandage. I am sure that you wonāt be too far off the mark with those predictions.
When can we expect your thoughts on the Munster Championship and All Ireland series

Apart from the missing full stop I think youāre probably correct with this. Kilkenny will beat Offaly by 24 points on a scoreline of 3-26 to 0-11.

@Bandage ?
Tomorrow, pal. But tell me this now, are all Clare-Tipp games played in neutral venues in Munster championship?
Yes, it would be in that cabbage patch in Limerick if they are to meet

Munster:
I take Cork to overcome Waterford in the preliminary round but I wouldnāt be surprised if this game went to a replay. Clare will then account for them in the semi-final, however.
On the other side of the draw, Tipperary will dispose of Limerick with a bit to spare.
Tipperary will defeat Clare in the Munster Final.
Bandage will Wexford beat Antrim by 8pts or more, I was think of throwing them in my banker accum if you indorse my proposal. Stand back and think about this, I donāt want you charging in with your Wexford hat on this.
We will beat them by between 6 and 12 points, pal. 8 or more is a touch risky. I couldnāt endorse it.
No, pal. Iām in a car park watching my auld lad eating sandwiches. Iāll tip into the ground early enough.
i thought yeād be eating kung-po chicken or something similar given the circumastances
Hard to take Munster habits out of the man it seems. See you on the terrace so.
What kind of sandwich? Would you not have one for yourself?
Sorry, pal.
