Good win. Nothing won yet. Except the league.

Kelly got MOTM in a team that lost by 10 points. Hes some player

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · October 25, 2020, 5:42pm

Just the 75+ shots today in the spud hockey game

Ashman · October 25, 2020, 5:53pm

I eagerly await your report on the need to make the sliotar heavier .

Boyles

Limerick 8/13
Tipp 13/8

Draw 9/1

2 point handicap

Julio_Geordio · October 25, 2020, 6:02pm

I wouldn’t be confident at all with that full back line

BruidheanChaorthainn · October 25, 2020, 6:06pm

That’ll be pick Um on the day.

Locke · October 25, 2020, 6:10pm

A cousin of mine wants to bate Tipp and that will be enough for the year.

EstebanSexface · October 25, 2020, 6:11pm

That was so bad you wouldn’t feel right slagging the clare lads

pulpfiction · October 25, 2020, 6:28pm

Take Tony Kelly out & you may as well be playing Kerry or antrim

KinvarasPassion · October 25, 2020, 6:58pm

Make ball heavier or take a bit of the ‘spring’ out of it?

Heyyoubehindthebushes · October 25, 2020, 7:13pm

Limerick-1 and Cork -2 double 2.65/1 for next week. Id be more iffy about Limerick bating tipp by 2 points that cork

TreatyStones · October 25, 2020, 7:23pm

Tipp are a savage price.
That will definitely shorten during the week.

lonelyisland236 · October 25, 2020, 7:23pm

Nothing wrong with a load of scores

Thomas_Brady · October 25, 2020, 7:24pm

I’ve lumped in Tipp. A win win.

Julio_Geordio · October 25, 2020, 7:30pm

I actually think that would make it worse. It would reward crowding the defence even more. The beauty of hurling is the ball is too fast to get a lot of men back and you can hit it over them also if the team does.
Smaller bas hurleys maybe

BruidheanChaorthainn · October 25, 2020, 7:33pm

I’m not so sure that’s true. The ball is so light now it can travel from 21 to 21 at ease. If you made it heavier it would be dropping down around the middle more and would in theory drag players out of a little bit. It’s akin to basketball at this stage.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · October 25, 2020, 7:35pm

Agreed mate. Limerick scored more today than both teams would score in the final in the 80s

Jahan · October 25, 2020, 7:54pm

There seems to be a general assumption that sliothars are getting progressively lighter. Is that actually the case in recent times?

I reckon improvements in hurley making, striking technique, overall skill, and fitness have contributed more to the longer distances achieved over the last couple of decades.

The ball is certainly travelling further, but worth having a look at some classics on All Ireland Gold with fellas mishitting from a standing position, albeit with a rock of a ball, before deciding the sliothar needs to be heavier.
