We couldn’t handle their long puckout in the first half at all, and we got two goals off their short puckout.
Time for Galway to activate Johnny Glynn
Dismantled.
They did something similar to us in 19.
@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has a point about the scoring. Nearly one a minute. Impressive from the forwards but it would nearly make you yearn for the hacking and twenty yard mishits of yore.

A fella hit a ground stroke yesterday.
Life finds a way
With the first half breeze they won 6 of 8 puckouts inside the 45. I’d say they scored every time including they key response goal.
They went long on Byrne’s wing from play also and seemed to target having a player run in behind for the ball to run through. Did not bother going down the other wing from puckout or play but did catch Nash behind his man a number of times when able to play it from midfield.

You’re wasting your time going at Hayes.
No coverage from an overworked Donohue means the other two lads have to fend for themselves and struggle

We had a Christian brother from Kilkenny in National School. He orgainsed a 1st to 3rd class league and there was one rule. No rising it. Ground hurrrling.

Donovan return is the key.
And a look at defensive work from 10 and 12

Tom did alright attacking but the hard yards don’t look to be there this year from him.
DOD is a massive loss.
Time for Hannon and Nash to go back to the Forwards and Tom and CON back to defense.

DOD’s distribution worth 3/4 points a game
Hope we beat Waterford and get him back for Munster final.
The amount of ground he covers is phenomenal.
He did.
When Limerick hit the front and he won a free which was converted he engaged in serious verbals with a Cork player. He was definitely releasing the valve in the thinking they were home & hosed.
In reality his rash drag down cost his team and it still seems that he can be wound up easily.
In fairness, we don’t know what’s being said to him on the field but he needs to be ignoring it now at this stage.
As regards, the ref being hard on Limerick? I think you are being biased in the extreme.
Stack tried to let it flow and blew when he had to.
Limerick hit Cork equally as hard as Cork hit them.

The pull down was really stupid. Put the game in Stacks hands… And Stack was fine over all , there were just three or four pieces of real dirt he let go first half, but whatever. The Corks deserved the win.
The reality is that Kingston should have been dragged down before he got to the 20. It was very naive from Limerick

Quit whinging.
Limerick well able to hit & be dirty too.
Whilst Collins acted the fanny ala Quaid time wasting, he was hit by Gillanes Hurley. It was a stupid swipe and he is consistently loose with his hurl. At some stage he’ll swipe & see red.
Stack doesn’t give that pelanty and the analysis of this is so different.
He was right to give it but wouldn’t have been questioned if he didn’t.

Again!
Kiely said so in his interview afterwards to OTB.
He was disappointed with the puck out but felt the run should have being dealt with before Hayes rugby tackle.
Agreed but leaping on a fella to haul him down was bizarre.
