Leinster Hurling Championship 2024

Thatā€™s bullshit.

No one knew where things were at then the game was over.

Sure Galway wouldā€™ve won the round robin with a victory. It was scoring difference that cost them in the end.

Iā€™ve gone back and checked the table. Both Wexford and Kilkenny knew before that game that a draw meant qualification for them whatever happened in the other game.

Before the final round of games it was:
Galway 5 points (+7 scoring difference)
Kilkenny 4 points (+18)
Wexford 4 points (+15)
Dublin 3 points (+7)

Sure Davy and Cody went to each other grinning as soon as the final whistle sounded. They knew the score.

Yes but I donā€™t think it was clear that a draw meant they would both qualify for the Leinster Final until the Dublin game finished & presumably a message went in after 73 minutes or so ahead of that free I mentioned already.

You might be right. But this is the internet and Iā€™m not backing down.

The INTERNET is about being Petty.

Wex V Dub Leinster final its nailed on ladsā€¦first time since 1961

Thereā€™ll be 40k Wexicans at it and 10k Dubs.

Is a Dublin Galway draw and Kilkenny win the only combination that puts us out next weekend?

or we lose by more than 10 points worse than what Dublin lose to Galway by.

Youā€™d have to feel we can manage that.

Again very doable.

Dublin and Galway draw would be not be a huge surprise.

Neil McManus reckons Dublin will bate Galway next weekend and be in the Leinster final.

A good chance that could happen.

Yeā€™ll surely rise it at some stage this year

The team is in a not too dissimiliar situation to Tipp. Legs are gone.

Could happen. Only negative for dublin losing cian Ć³ Sullivan to a hamstring. They wouldnā€™t have a replacement as good as him.
Could come down to score difference between dublin and wexford

A big loss. Galway do not like pace.

Where is AJ Murphy @binkybarnes? Did he not want to be involved or not asked in?

Went travelling. Hopefully will be in there next year as we are light on inside forwards
