Official 2011 All Ireland Hurling Championship Thread

No it wouldn’t sid. It hardly ever happens. Don’t be so defeatist. Although 12/15Dublin (plus 1/15Tipperary 1/15Limerick and 1/15Galway) probably lose now because the loss of Keaney and Brady might be too much for them.

Dublin look well on top at the moment. Limerick being kept in it by young Hannon.

Geary makes a stones of it and O’Dwyer has his hat trick.
Limerick are all at sea at the back.

limerick lookin like a 2nd division team here,what was geary thinking?

Ryan O’Dywer scores 3-1 before DOG makes a change at full back? If limerick played more direct they would be far better off. whats the point in having a lad like downes at full forward at tipping balls down into the corner?

Limerick not out of this at all.

As an aside, hurling would be a pretty horrible spectacle if every team played the DOG way.

H-T 3-5 to 0-10.
Limerick tagged on a few after Dublin got their third. They’re still in it and have tightened up at the back since Geary got yanked.
Could be a good second half.

limerick could do with an early goal,their not letting the ball into downes at all he may as well be sitting in the stand

good start by limerick to second half

limerick are their own worse enemy

mulcahey seems to have moved to cornerback :blink:

Limerick are infuriating here.

its the DOG way

This is desperate stuff.

Whoever manages to win it is getting an almighty hiding in the semi final.

+1

limerick puckin it away here

limerick have only themselves to blame if they end up losing this.

That utter prick Hetherton on the line again. Someone really needs to deck him. What a despicable cunt.

congrats to Dublin. Great game to win minus three of your best players in keaney, Hiney and Brady. A much bigger result than winning the national league.

Absolutely. First AI semi appearance in how long? Great work from Daly and his charges.
Limerick will rue the wides and the mistakes of the first twenty minutes but a decent year for them nonetheless.
