John Cooney has the trademark large Cooney posterior on him. Looks a fine player though.

How many Cork lads starting played against Dublin?

That last Tipp free looked wide

Jesus terrible from the Cork lad there. You wouldn’t see a wind up like that in Junior B

Tipp shooting much improved from Waterford outing

Tipp work rate has been off the charts

Ya but will they do it In the second half?

Tipp might not have many superstars coming through but they are all good at chasing and hurrying the player in possession.

Dublin 2-9 Offaly 0-8 at half time.

Offaly have settled after a terrible opening 5 minutes but are very reliant on placed balls for scores. Gifted Dublin a penalty when they had it back to a 1 point game the full back took out the Dublin wing forward after he had lost control of the ball and was going nowhere. Purcell with 1-5 from play the difference here.

Kilkenny 0-3 Galway 1-13

Fucking hell

Decent game in Thurles. The Waterford match has definitely stood to Tipperary

O’Shea has had a fine half. Galway just a far more cohesive unit, getting to finals consistently up the levels probably helps build that.

Galway, Limerick and Tipp are the big 3 these days

Beyond time that they challenge for an U-20 title after 5 minors in 6 years. Hopefully this bunch have a shot.

Tipp comfortably the better team here so far. Winning most of the breaks.

Deja vu

UH OOOHH

Another second half no show
