Leinster Senior hurling championship 2022

Did Joe missed 4 or 5 places balls? That’s usually his total for an entire championship.

That was a great finish for the goal by Crummey. Like Mark Hughes in the Cup Winners Cup final against Barcelona. You thought he had gone too wide after rounding the goalkeeper, a defender was rapidly closing down the space on the line, but Crummey found the exact spot he had to.

If he scored his placed balls people would still be questioning his contribution today tbf.

Maybe he comes back shooting the stars out after this. Tbf, he was hurling okay during the league but he was as bad I can ever recall him today.

There could be no defence for him playing 75mins

If Niland had started and played the same as Joe first half he probably wouldn’t have seen the second half. He is looking like a luxury player in the middle third now.

Good win for Dublin. Galway shot a lot of wides. Not sure what misfired for them.

Lovely and twee how Limerick lads are a bit reticent about putting the boot in knowing they play Cork tonight and they still think Galway are the biggest obstacle they have. They’ve been bitten before and disappointment is in their DNA

Galway opting for three goals early on when they weren’t on certainly didn’t do them any favours. Could have done with the points in the board down the stretch

If we win tonight , we’ll unleash hell around 9.

By god. Burke (Dublin) was excellent

Galway always struggle when Canning struggles

Noel McGrath can look stuck to the ground and ineffective tracking men in games and is hooked more times than not.

Dublin waltzed it up the middle at times at their ease.

In saying that I think Geroid Mc is a problem at 6 too, he just can’t turn and his touch isn’t great either. I think he’s living very much on his 2017 season which tbf was exceptional.

Never saw that coming. In fairness to Mattie we were really well set up and hugely motivated. Our best performance in 2 years. Delighted for Mattie on what must have been a difficult few days for him. James Madden showed great courage too playing the day after his father was buried.

I can’t help feeling it was as much about Galway being shit as us being good. They were awful. It looked like they were flabbergasted by Dublin’s use of the sweeper. O Neill must have done no opposition analysis at all.

What’s the format for the qualifiers? Would Waterford potentially have a warm up match before playing a cold Galway?

Itll depend on who wins. If Tipp beat Clare tomorrow, they wont be able to meet Waterford, Ditto Wexford and Laoise

Eoghan o donnell will be a huge loss for the leinster final

Gearoid MC spent the day at full back with Daithi and centre back making no impact. It was bizarre from O’Neill

Flatty lining up a big one here

Sky have mentioned wexford and club football a lot in analysing wexford performance in the 2020 championship in the last few mins

Will the Limerick ref get a bashing?
