Munster Under-21 Hurling

In fairness Noddy, a clare man riding his cousin would be deemed evolutionary, it’s a big step to go from sisters, mothers and daughters to cousins…

I don’t think you understand evolution

I beg to differ.

H’on John Buns…can’t wait til he gets the senior job in a couple of years

Clare under 21 boss John Minogue says his players will be on a mission to lift morale in the county in tonight’s Bord Gais Energy Munster semi-final against Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

Minogue and his players put the pride back in the Saffron and Blue jersey last September when they swept to an historic All-Ireland success, and he is hoping his under 21s can give the county another timely boost in the wake of the senior side’s disappointing championship exit at the hands of Dublin last Saturday.

“It was disappointing for the lads we had involved in that game, but at least we have a clean bill of health,” he told the Irish Examiner.

“There are a couple of bruises, but nothing too serious. Our preparation hasn’t gone too bad even though our lads went training away with the seniors. We have five or six of last year’s team, and a few of the subs as well, so we’re hoping that experience will help us now.”

Limerick have included six of the team that feature against Offaly in last Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier in their line-up, and Minogue feels those players will have benefited from their involvement in the senior set-up.

“The Limerick guys would’ve played a good bit of top-level hurling this summer that they might not have expected. They were very impressive against Offaly last weekend. There’ll be nothing between the teams,” he added.

Predictions folks…

I’m going for

Clare 2-15 Limerick 1-12
Cork 2-11 Tipp 1-19

]Clare 1-16 Limerick 3-12
Tipperary 1-18 Cork 2-15

I’m going

Tipp 3-18
Cork 1-09

Clare 1-13
Limerick 1-15

Nothing against Clare, but going by the few Clare lads i know, and ye lads on here, ye are way too confident, that tends to seep through to U-21’s. Limerick have a good bunch of hurlers, and i think they might be starting to feel good about themselves. A shock here.

Top save by the Clare keeper,Lmk convert the follow up 65 to retake the lead,10pts to 9

12 p ts apiece about 6mins left,2nd half has been very entertaining!

FT Clare 1-15 Lmk 1-12,Lmk really threw the game away as they scored the better points from play whereas as Clare until the final few mins mostly lived on frees from McGrath.
