Hurling League 2014

yep. and they might not be be that bothered about having to play in it either. The relegation play off didn’t prevent Clare and Cork getting to the AIF last year

Fennelly with a rocket

Btw herrity let in a howler

Cats on fire now 2-1 without reply and sheff just introduced

Some start to the second half by the cats, only 3 points in it now.

It’s looking like. Dublin Tipp relegation playoff to me

Dublin weather the storm to win by 3 points. 1-22 to 3-13.

Hard game. Kilkenny will improve for it but conceded way too much again this week

Score ?

will there be a big fuss in the morning? TJ Reid must thrown that ball forward as far as Anthony Nash does striking that penalty

Real atmosphere in Parnell Park. Real people, real sport.

Why would the fuss be in the morning?

There will be no fuss. It just seems that the only time the infringement of the rule for striking penalties only get highlighted when Anthony Nash does it or it seems to generate more hulabuloo when he does it.

yeah sid - great venue for league games. Dublin hurlers v good there in the 2 league games but shite in the away games

Fair play Dublin. Kk are not easily beaten anytime. Cody will not have wanted that feather in the cap of the dubs that’s for sure. The Cody way isn’t to lull the enemies into a false sense of security, it is to crush them at any and every opportunity. The league is great this year.

Parnell Park about 10m narrower than Croke park from dimensions I read. Same length. Does that narrow pitch make a difference in League Games? Always said that the “tight” pitch suits Dublin’s physicality.

10 M each side or overall?
Definitely affects it. Would be interested to see scoring averages though, Parnell compared to cp for league. Tight pitch should mean easier defending, thus less scores.

Hardly 20m narrower?

The sight of a cow inside in a field scares the shit out of them

Could also mean more frees due to lack of space etc thus scoring remains roughly the same so you’d also need to closely analyse scores from frees v scores from play where Dublin are concerned. I’ve given you a big hint here Kevin , I expect you to build on it and come back with further analysis
