I ended up watching the toddlers hurling final yesterday. Purely by accident. I actually didnât even know it was on. I got home just after 5.30, was flicking around trying to find Galway v Dublin, which I didnât realise was hidden behind the paywall and stumbled on it.
Still a lot of the day to go here yet

Another disaster now is the major football tournaments are going to totally over shadow major gaa weekends.
You obviously dont remember Italia 90. 8,000 at a Leinster hurling semi final between Offaly and Kilkenny. 2002 Ulster football final. 2000 people in ground for throw in.
Thatâs when Ireland were in a tournament. A different issue.
How is that a different issue? That makes no sense.
Because Ireland arenât in this tournament and itâs still overshadowing our biggest games.
Mate, you want to bring championshipâs back to September. Another 6 weeks of watching crap like Kerry v Derry? No thanks.
Sure youâve given them a nine month season
Relentless
Is cork limerick semi final sold out lads? No tickets on Ticketmaster?
No. Tickets are distributed through the clubs.
They are in their englands last 8 opponents
What?
Its one thing having Provincial Semi Finals overshadowed by Euros and World Cups but having the really big games in Croke Park play second fiddle to them is just not right.
Those attendances this weekend and last week will be the catalyst for reform.
Next Saturdays Hurling Semi Final could be dire too.
Iâve never seen a semi final not on general sale. Is it going to be a sell out? Even at peak Dublin footballers youâd buy semi final tickets the week before
You mustnât have seen many semi finals so.
Iâd assume all tickets returned from the clubs will go on general sale.
When was the last hurling semi final sell out? Split season looks like itâs been a roaring success
