All Ireland Club Hurling Championships 2024/2025 (SHC, IHC & JHC)

[Milltown Row2]

Tipp teams in Munster club hurling are like Tyrone teams in Ulster club football, promise much deliver not that much

[NAG1]

Can't see them troubling BG, too much pace, power and now experience. Coupled with the fact that they seem to have left a bit in the tank to get through these rounds, only getting stronger.

Hopefully it is a classic, especially after this weekend and having to endure a weekend of football.

The only thing I will say for Loughmore is that they're not new to this stage of the competition, have a bit of experience at this level, have some real fine hurlers in their ranks and will want to go further than their last appearance in 2021.

I'd certainly give them a chance in the semi-final even if it is in Walsh Park.

The other semifinal in Cork will have the Cork beaten finalists, Sars against Feakle who are probably still on the sauce considering they haven't won a Canon in 40 years.

Sars didn't put up much of a show last year and lacked a bit of physicality I thought, they might fancy a crack at Feakle, but the winners are coming out of the other semifinal for me.

The first half of this semifinal hasn't given me reason to change my opinion that neither will trouble Ballygunner

Why aren't imokilly playing ?

They're an amalgamation or regional selection.
They can't play outside their own county

Kk champions beat (and beat well) by the Westmeath champions. Big shock that.

Really difficult to judge S'neil  or Ports based on how that team played against Gunner..

Gunner will stuff Sarsfields and they were  poor enough and only pulled away late on..

Are you looking at a 5 point beating or more?

New kids on the block like Thomastown don't always get their heads focused for the Club Championship.
OLG or Ballyhale would have put up a much better display.

Also club level is a great leveller in terms of numbers and resources so the likes of the Carlow club champions can win Leinster titles etc etc.

It must be almost 20 years since Waterford won a Munster title yet we have Ballygunner dominating the club Munster titles.

BG looking pretty sharp, although LC didn't get to the pace of the game at any stage really.

Can't see anyone stopping them on current form.

Na Fianna looking sharp here

Na Fianna looking sharp here

Yep thought Croke Park would suit them, not sure this will be close

That goal was coming...

Na Fianna pretty dominant

Credit where it's due, KK still picking off their scores and have a bit of a breeze in the second half.
