I think youâre not too far wrong there but Iâm also not sure how much more of a hand cork have to show. Theyâll relish the match against Tipp as winnable to get get them on a roll and theyâll have their dander/gander up again for the home game against big bad Limerick.
I know my own club in Tipperary had a big demand for stand tickets (104 stand tickets allocated and 200 tickets sought) but had plenty of terrace left over once the draw was done for the stand; were left with only 3 or 4 terrace tickets once communications went out as some people who wanted stand took terrace then. Again, members only allowed.
Families are not going to bother bringing kids under 10 to a terrace in this day and age. From what I see in Tipperary, there has been a fall off in younger people, who wouldnât be GGA types, in their early 20s showing interest in going to games. The bandwagon supporter I suppose. More of an interest in sitting outside their local âcoffee houseâ drinking iced lattes and eating acai bowls now.
The pricing of the terrace tickets is scandalous anyway; only a fiver cheaper than a stand is pure gouging by the Munster Council.

I thought Limerick-Cork was putrid stuff & had the bang of two teams on the way down, although Caroline Curridâs ability to tap into the heads of tapped muldoons is not to be sniffed at. Tipp are unlikely to do anything this season, as precedent would suggest. Waterford are harmless. I think itâs Clareâs Munster to lose this season, with their main threat for overall honours coming from outside Munster via Galway.

Iâm pretty sure he is
There must be budget cuts in Munster Gaa if thatâs the best they can do for a promotion image for the weekend
@thelimericks busy clutching their pearls on the week off, God help us when theyâve a match to attend 
35 quid for an adult and a child is decent value albeit the terrace not ideal for younger kids
Itâs 40 euros for an adult and child in the stand; a lot less stress for an extra fiver

I suppose I canât complain too much; the Munster Council have been fairly generous with their grants for clubs over the past few years with the increase in attendances

Hurling is at a right low ebb right now. Thereâs a soft All-Ireland there for somebody this year.
Iâve worked through scenarios in my mind in which Dublin could win the All-Ireland this year and they donât actually seem that far fetched.
I think any one of about seven teams could win it.

If Tipperary can fluke their way to an all Ireland through an improbable sequence of inexplicable team collapses then so can Dublin.
Is the generator in Thurles on fire again?

Yeah Dublin have a great shout. Definitely battling for the best of the rest tag. You probably have 2 of the best 3 sides & 3 of the top 5 coming from Leinster this season. Munster looks as weak as itâs been in over a decade.
Iâve officially gone for a Galway v Kilkenny Leinster final because I find the idea of a Galway v Kilkenny Leinster final in front of 18,003 people and 2,484 seagulls on a windswept, deathly overcast Saturday evening grimly funny, but in reality I think Dublin and Wexford both have a right shout of reaching and/or winning a Leinster final against Galway his year.
My gut tells me Keith Rossiter is a âgood Wexford hurling manâ and heâll get performances out of them, even if I think I heard half their panel are in Australia. Or something like that. I donât really pay attention to GAA news these days.
I have a hunch Kilkenny might actually fail to qualify from Leinster this year. They never win in Galway, I think Dublin might finally turn them over in Parnell Park, and Wexford always have a shout at Nowlan Park.
Wexford will probably lose to Kildare though.
