They are moving the Minor to after the senior
Not for us. It’s a fucking graveyard.

We’ll see when the “draw” is made
Doesn’t matter we’ll be filleted whetever it is and against whoever. May as well give us a lok at Croker. We won’t see it again this year
back on the drink id say
double header next sat croker confirmed
clare cork 3pm
lim dub 5pm, live on network 2
is it
yes it
Yet another ridiculous umpiring decision as Limerick get a goal that was obviously wide.
Yea fuck we only won by 12. Twas the difference allright
It was fairly close before that goal
Hard to find positives after that.
I’ll start with the conditions - I’d the umbrella up until the 60th minute, so that’ll give you an idea how wet it was out there.
Westmeath mishit a few line balls during a nervy start, resulting in nothing but divots flying. I thought the pitch was to blame but walking it afterwards I’d suggest the surface wasn’t the problem.
Few positives for Limerick. Downes was one. Dowling was the pick of the bunch, workrate seems to have improved this year. Hannon played typically loose when introduced. Tobin scored a peach of a point in the first half when we needed it (never thought I’d be saying we needed a score) but was hauled off early for some reason. Browne was more industrious, not sure if he benefitted from the week or if the game simply suited him more. Linked well with jimbob on numerous occasions.
Gavin played loose again, allowed by dan morrissey coming on and quietening their danger man Murtagh.
Wayne brought much needed physicality on a day the ref left a lot go. Seanie had a decent outing in the corner, offers pace but we were still opened up far too often once they got in behind the half back line. (Their midfielder #8 was seriously quick)
Nickie varied puck outs to no avail, I reckon the half forwards won 2 cleanly.
Condon went off with a shoulder injury, hopefully not a collarbone.
Half forward and half back line sleepwalked through far too much of the game.
Ball came back out far too easily from the forwards.
We’ll know next weekend if the injection of youth is temporary or permanent.
Final word on the officials. Diabolical.

Hurling Qualifier Draw
Dublin v Limerick
Clare v Cork
Dublin v Cork came out first, but couldnt happen.
Michael Duignan seems to think the next few weeks will tell a lot about next weekends games go.

tipp footballers at home on Saturday so unlikely to be two hurling games there
Can’t have three games, plus the minors before the Munster final the following day.
Pitch would be in shit, particularly if the weather is as bad as they say.
Cork - Clare in the Gaelic Grounds?
Limerick - Dublin in Thurles along with the Tipp football qualifier?
