I don't mind as they win the all Ireland again . They didn't have a full strength team out either.Quote from: seafoid on March 11, 2018, 04:18:30 PM
Fair play to Antrim for beating Offaly.
Limerick beat Galway. Not surprising . I dont think Galway are interested in 1A.
Last year they lost to wexford in the regular league but then put on the boosters and won the competition.
Galway losing games on purpose now? 8 points up at halftime at home, punters paid in and you're happy enough they lost? Strange
I think they will win the league as well. Funny old world.
But it's silly to say being in 1B is a good thing, wile most games are competitive I'm sure the Galway hurlers would prefer to be playing at a higher grade each week, Championship form is different of course but I know where I'd much prefer to be as a player
Sure they're still in the league quarter finals away to Wexford and it wouldn't be a surprise if they won that one albeit it'll be a good test for them.
They were cruising in yesterdays game and whilst Limerick were ballsy the way they got back into the game they were far more near full strength and Galway hit some awful wides in the second half.
Limerick do need 1A, but even at that the new round robin championships allow teams to build up a head of steam.
With Galway in Leinster they've a bit more breathing space to get themselves into the AI semi-s.
