Waterford Dublin level with 7 minutes to go.

Wexford Cork?

Thats Paudie Sul’s point.

You’d have expected a lot more given the decent conditions here. Clare playing at training pace but still looks easily enough to account for Cork today. Big, big gap for Cork to close with the rest of the pack with just two months to championship.

Turenne, what happened the 15000 langers that were going up to ennis to welcome their heros back into the fold?

knowing that ground id say theres no more than 3 or 4000 at the match and less than half them from cork.

where are all the marchers and the activists today?

Football and Hurling on at the same time, I’m sure they are nicely spread out at both games HBV.

Anyone hear anything else from Nowlan Park. Aertel have updated the scores and still have Kilkenny credited with five goals. Game on in Cusack Park now, somehow.

If this is a good Clare performance then ye are fucked.

Christ Hero Murphy’s a great player…

Fraggie and Hoggie are lovely hurlers you have to say.

Cork 1-16 Wexford 0-7 FT.

Kilkenny 5-17 Tipperary 1-12 in Nowlan Park.

Dublin 15 Wateford 1-11.

Only for Adrian Power in the Waterford goal it would have been a hammering.

Kieran ‘Fraggy’ Murphy, Pa Horgan, and Shane O’Neill fantastic for Cork. Young lads won it while the likes of Ronan Curran and Niall McCarthy acted like petulant little children. Tom Kenny, Ben O’Connor and Eoin Cadogan showed well too.

Cork 2-13 Clare 0-16 FT.

Embarrassing day for Clare hurling. Cork upped their game for ten minutes and our backs folded and gave up 1-6.

Galway 1.14 Limerick 1.12
Kilkenny 5.17 Tipp 1.12

Galway Derry draw.
Cork 1.16 Wex 0.7
Kerry 1.12 Westmeath 0.06

Big shock to the system for Tipperary. Strange results today all over the place. Carlow are after beating Antrim in div2 I think.

Tipp beat Roscommon easily in the football as well.

Big big laugh in Pearse stadium today when the announcer read out the HT from KK Tipp 5-10 to 4 points. Unreal

Quick rundown on the Galway team
Colm Callanan in goal had made great save early on and looked really solid until going off injured. Replaced by Eric Ward from Mullagh who looked shaky enough at times to be honest,
McEntee was tried at full back today and was solid enough, Moore good but fully deserved his yellow card for a cynical dragdown I think on Moran.Damien Joyce doesn’t convince. Martin Ryan had a stormer of a 2nd half. Murray was lethargic as ever and has no 1st touch.
Teirney and Farragher did well in MF. Ganly was doing alright until yellow carded for checking. Looked harsh but think he’d been ticked already. Cyril Donnellan and Aongus Callanan in particular both had good games.
The two Healys in the corners were both shite with Niall margainally less useless than Fergal. Neither up to it at this level. Makes you wonder if they ever were really. Joe Canning went through the motions but scored the two winning frees with casual indifference.Also got his obligitory sideline point.Missed a couple as well though.He can play a million times better but Galway would not have won without him today. Cool as fook.

Overall not a good performance. Limerick had plenty of wides in the second half and the game was there for them in the closing stages until Joe popped over two quite difficult frees. Shaughs wasn’t at the races at all today and was replaced mid way through the second half. Thought Reale played well as did James O’Brien and Niall Moran who smashed in a brilliant 20 yard free to bring the sides level with less than 5 minutes to play.
Typical league match. Limerick dont look anything much based on todays performance. Neither do Galway but you’d expect them to come on a lot now for this.

Some strange results today indeed. Antrims position in the Leinster championship at the expence of Westmeath/Carlow is sure to be questioned after that today.
Clare look a joke of a team this year and now staring relegation in the face.
Tipps dreams of glory shattered after that reality check dished out to them by the cats
Tyrone losing in football to Donegal last night was another surprise. Anyone know how many teams get relegated from football div 1, is it 1 or 2??

I wouldn’t get that carried away Lazarus. Nobody ever remembers the league. With respect to Clare, however, they do now look like they have a set of backs not capable of standing up to a stiff breeze.
