Hurling League 2018

Galway 1-9 Offaly 8pts HT

Why are the Carkies so cranky with the ref?

Cadogan throwing a lot of shapes bit like his carry on in de football the last few years

O’Mahony and Ellis are slow\ponderous the odd time they do get the hands on the ball

Coleman, Fitzgibbon , Lehane and Cadogan junior massive losses. and also Damien Cahalane much as he gets criticised

Galway were training very hard last night…I wouldn’t put too Mich stock in their games up to the Limerick one.

We’ll test their record in the summer when we invade Ennis.

Cork have been atrocious. Kingston after getting few decent chances and has wasted them. Terrible miss for goal chance as well by Harnedy.

Is Richie English related to both Conor Whelan and Shane O’Donnell?

Kev is writing up a good one here… :popcorn:

Not a lot of depth in that Cork squad yet. A few of the backups would want to step up in the second half.

Nice balance to the Clare team, and despite more bad wides players are making much more of an effort to find men in a better position.

O’ Mahoneys striking is Junior level

He has alot of attributes but his striking is awful.

Not sure why they want Ellis out the field.

Clare look tasty. They are heading back to 2013 pace. Nice to see good lads like their management t make progress

They’re nowhere near the pace yet, Meyler has a job of work on his hands, without Cads and Leeehane there’s fuck all threat

You were lauding his performance v KK.

Kingston has gone so far back

He is simply not worth a place on squad at present

O’Donnell and Whelan are def related. Never heard English was of that bloodline

Ah it’s still only league… Clare have looked great in league for last few years to fall flat come summer… But as WTB says, they are trying to make much better decisions.

Looked like a serious injury. ankle, to Joe Cooney there at the end of the half, he was down for a while but hobbled off by himself eventually so hopefully not too bad

I think I said I was pleasently surprised.

And every game is different and Clare are nippy

He is actually a very good hurler.

I never thought he was anywhere near this standard. He has 75% of it.

Remains to be seen can he improve his striking.

Mick O’Malley’s skill level has always been excellent. His attitude and decision making were suspect though, seems to have come of age and is starting to fulfill his potential. Great to see.
