Things are starting to look up for the yella bellies at last. Another chink in the Kilkennt armour. Another result in the "good for hurling" column.

You'll get some stick from the Kilkenny lads (if there were any here) for suggesting there is such thing as a 'good for hurling' result. There are only results. But you're right. The Wexford lads will have gone mad with delight, great stuff

Carlow and the Dubs tonight in the other Leinster semi-final.

I wonder if the very decent minor team Carlow had a few years ago will be the backbone of this team?

The Dubs would be hot favourites I'd have thought.

I agree with Grover Norquist who said the goal has to be to shrink the old firm of hurling to the point
where they can be drowned in a bathtub. Or at least kept well away from the all-Ireland for at least 10 years.

They will have to use the stick for something now I suppose !
Think there are a good few of this year's Leinster 21 winning football panel with the hurlers, might be the extra bit of confidence that helped them to stand up to the Cats this year.

Dublin 4-11 to Carlow 0-11. Dublin had 16 wides.

Dublin 4-11 to Carlow 0-11. Dublin had 16 wides.

With Dublin having 2 senior players on board it was always going to be an up hill task for Carlow.

Ah, but Grover Norquist's logic would be to give them so many All-Ireland's that they would get sick of them, i.e. starve the beast. I think he probably knows less about hurling than fiscal policy - but it's a close run thing

Live coverage of Cork Tipp in TG4 at the minute

[Hoof Hearted]

Good match too.

Certainly is, Tipp on the wrong side of the goals this week.

Saw on the Committee Room this week that Cork havent won an AI Minor since 2001, or an U21 AI since 1998 ! Amazing stat that for Cork. Maybe that will change this year. Who do the play now in final ?

[Minder]

Didn't know Aidan Walsh was playing for Cork, he scored a great goal (Corks fourth).

Clare or Limerick in the final.

Yeah, they said he has done very little hurling coming up to this game because of his involvement with the footballers but you wouldn't think it on tonights performance.

[Hoof Hearted]

Sure they only have Antrim or Down next in the football, he is just getting extra training in
