Wexford and Cork guaranteed league semi-final places now. Hopefully Darragh Egan can go a step further than Davy in 2017 and 2018. Wexford never showed up at all in the league semi against Kilkenny in 2018.
I saw five minutes of the opening half but there was a clear example why Horgan is not Elite anymore at this level.
The ball was hit towards the top left of the field. Horgan came out and won it and sort of turned left and then immediately turned back right and threw it over the bar.
If he backed himself And stayed going when he turned left heād have been clean through for a simple goal.
Iām amazed it wasnāt pointed out on tv by the commentators.
Cork are definitely on an upward curve.
Was at the game, it was fairly mehā¦ hoggy is like the messi of hurling, some of his touches were sublime, I thought the no 14 for Galway was very lively but overall it was poor enough alright

Genuinely unsure as to whether youāre being satirical or serious about Horgan?
Hopefully for the sake of the league semi finals it will turn out to be a munster v leinster clash in both. If its cork v Waterford and wexford v kk/dublin we will only shadow boxing in both

With the league so close to championship Im not sure youād want to be in the final.
Surely most of Wexford/Cork/Kilkenny/Dublin would be desperate for a league title success. Wexford for instance havenāt won one since 1973. Think Kilkenny earned a holiday to Australia for winning it in 2018. Itās a National honour and those have been scarce enough for any of those counties of late with Limerick dominating the All-Ireland scene.
That was a very poor standard really. Nowt to worry the big guns.
Their is 4 of them with the 1 log in so dont worry.
Was it just a very loose game or was the standard of play poor.
Missed seeing any of the games yesterday.
I heard moss of the Dublin v kK game on RTĆ radio 1. Dublin seemed to be cleaned out by KK and were a beaten docket as soon as Walter Walsh scored the first goal early in the second half. Dublin were competitive enough in the first half but hit way too many wides.
Dublin were missing OāDonnell at short notice before that game but Iād say that performance and the manner of the defeat will have them worried.
Iām surprised that Dublin capitulated so easy, thatās not a great KK team. I thought Dublin had a bit about them this year.

They definitely seemed to be ahead of the pack in fitness terms and physicality at the start this year. Maybe teams are catch up now.
The goal flattened them and KK seemed to to able to fire over scores without hitting any or many wides which was in complete contrast to Dublin who fired wides without hitting many scores.
All the Dublin full forward line were subbed off and according to the commentators the KK half back line hit 5 points from play such was their dominance in that area of the field.

It was very loose. Lads tried but you could kind of tell their hearts werenāt in it. Galway truthfully were poor, but thatās not surprising in many ways. I was surprised how not much better cork were though.
Watching highlights of Dublin v Kilkenny here on GAA Beo. The commentator (TomĆ”s Mac a TĆr?) has the mellifluous tones of the great MicheĆ”l Ć SĆ©.
There is a strong breeze straight down the ground in Walsh Park today. Blowing into the Keaneās Road goal.
Breen has days like this when everything goes over. Hope it last today
We are going well but a strong wind.

Micheal O Se voice was iconic, especially when only a few TV games every year

Curran flying. Bit more freedom out the field could suit him
