Hurling 2024

[Milltown Row2]

We all love to he dry days, little wind, smooth surface, the perfect conditions, but, there's something about the brutality of a late stinking wet disgusting autumn championship final.

The tackles are tough, mistakes aplenty that can level up a underdog v a favourite

It really shows how good the skill level is to play in that

NP doing just enough but Doon sticking with them so far

[marty34]

I'd say Doon would be slight favourites before the game.

[imtommygunn]

What do they have to do to get a foul??

[Saffrongael]

Thomastown win Kilkenny surprisingly easily, Intermediate & Senior champions in consecutive years. Some going

Great result by Thomastown.

Henry Shefflin had them and they got pipped in the Intermediate and the follwing year, they win KK and All-Ireland. Great achievement.

Donnellys are some operators.

Not much difference between senior and intermediate in Kilkenny. Top intermediate teams are strong.

St. Thomas' beat last night.

Ballygunnar will be eyeing things up now.

Ulster team will fancy their chances also.

Ulster has Munster, which will probably be the toughest task

That's best time to get Munster team I think. In semi-final.

I'd say Doon would be slight favourites before the game.

Don't think there was much (bookies wise) between them, but still going for their first, loved the mad celebrations afterwards

Unfortunately for them, gunner next week

I'd go with the following although I think Shane Barrett deserves one over Patrick Horgan but it will be the other way round for sentimental reasons.

Kelly also will get a midfield berth for similar reasons, the final alone even though he hardly pucked a ball the whole championship to that point. due to injury mind.

For me John Donnelly was the most consistent forward from Kilkenny and should get it over some of the others. KK will get one All Star for being Leinster champions, quota's and all that.

Lee Chin had a great year, but probably won't get one.

Big John gets his hands on a Kilkenny senior title. Some player and gave wee Mikey Butler a tough afternoon. Surprised Lawlor or Deegans weren't sent onto him. He was killing the Gaels.

There must have been another three brothers on the team, beasts of men who don't mind it any which way but lose..


Doon well worth their win also, but there'll be some amount of celebrating to be had... Hard to put that off until Ballygunner game.

[marty34]

Good win for Feakle today in Clare.

First win since late '80's.

[imtommygunn]

I see the Kerry fella Mackessy appears to be away to KK.

[marty34]

Eoghan O'Donnell of Dublin opting for the football in 2025.

Big blow to the hurlers.

[gallsman]

If you're not watching the Ulster semi final, do so. Absolute travesty of a last minute goal for Slaughtneil to concede. Extra time is gonna be spicy.

great game, brilliant scores and drama right to the end, ref has added to it by letting everything go
