First into final. Second and third play semi-final. Same as minor.

Seems ridiculous to have the exact same set of fixtures. Makes sense aligning formats but no need to be home or away to the same county twice in a given week.

Dubs win by 5 in a cracking game 1-15 to 1-10. Louth got it back to one but made some silly decisions allowing Dublin to turn over the ball and get the last few scores. Lethal Lenny finished with 7 points

Cork were good after a shocking opening spell. To their credit, Tipp started excellently with hardly a wide before half-time. Cork got to grips with Tipp’s constant short puc-outs, and fouled a lot less after half-time.

Cunningham, Mullins, Walsh, Healy, Buckley and Darragh O’Sullivan really stood up.

However, Downey was my MOTM. Absolutely imperious at centre-back.

That’s a good Tipp team. McGarry and Leamy are superb forwards. They have a huge knock-out game now against Limerick.

Who’s this ?

Good Tipp team on paper but that was poor tonight.

Their puck out strategy of soloing the ball out through the middle was unsustainable and once Cork started breaking it down it was curtains.

Tae in a mug yis Carlow cunts

Strange time/day to have a match is it not?

The Antrim boys had to get back for the Stations

Galway after giving Kilkenny a fair aul kicking in the Leinster MHC. I’d heard they were lethal this year.

Galway possibly getting the ducks lined up finally, but we’ll see. Need a string of good u20 teams.

That Kilkenny minor team is poor but Galway are very good.

Cork, Clare & Limerick also good in Munster.

We’ve been really poor at u20’s for a while now. Need to get our act together at that grade.

Always good to give a Kilkenny side a trimming in Nowlan Park.
