Shane Fives went off injured first few minutes. All catching up on them today. You can only withstand the loss of so many players. Limerick are flying though. Theyâll be in the All Ireland with Galway.
I wonder would Tony Kelly ever touch the ball if he was marked?
Another refâs whistle before the ball had gone over the bar from Kelly there.
Clare turning the screw in the last five minutes. Looks quite ominous for Tipp.
Tipp hand passing keeping Clare in it
Free In there
Lot of baaaad hurling on display here. Should just be us and limerick in a seven game finals series
Taking off a man with 30 seconds left in the half. These Clare co managers are some clowns
And the quarter final draw taking shape too. Tipperary will advance in 3rd so assuming Galway take care of business in Leinster Final, I think that would make it Tipperary v Kilkenny in quarter final with the winner of that to play the winner of a Cork v Limerick Munster Final in semi final. Wexford to face loser of Cork v Limerick Munster Final in quarter final and assuming Galway win Leinster, then Galway in semi final.
How is that not a free for Kelly right on half time?
Take off the corner forward. This nerd in charge of clare had me worried with his pre match rant and has confirmed my fears of his ineptitude
Kelly sauntering out too a ball
If Clare have anything about them they should turn this around in the second half and overrun Tipp. Tipp tied up very badly in the last 12 or 13 minutes of the first half. This is the sort of game which is tailor made for Tony Kelly - there should be loads of loose marking in the second half.
Tipp playing into an empty terrace in the second half wonât help them.
Still wouldnât trust Clare though.
completely done in the Gaelic grounds. Waterford were done when fives departed. Patched up all over the field. Limerick are very easy on the eye and clearly well coached but much tougher games await.
Tipp walked all over Clare in the primary game. Made shite of them.
Limerick look unreal but Waterford are just not up for it, not enjoying this league format one bit, suppose they were unfortunate to only get going week 2 when everyone else had a game under their belt at that stage
A draw in the Tipp-Clare game would technically keep Waterford in the championship.
Theyâd have to beat Cork by an as yet to be determined large margin and hope Clare lose to Limerick.
Theyâve been fucked over a little by the system.
OâKeeffe howler for the 2nd Limerick goal.
