Richie Hogan is needed earlier on the field for KK
Great decision making on the ball and a great man to win a free with a dip of the head into a 'high tackle'

His legs are gone. He was favourite for a ball and Harte left him for dead.

Not sure he'll ever reach his top level again

I think he was trying to be sarcastic about Hogan, one of the best hurlers over the past 10 plus years! Shame, as he was one of my favourites
Not sarcastic at all
I thought he changed both games when introduced

Every match has ebb and flow where one team is on top for a while and then the control shifts for another while.
Kilkenny never managed to get into the lead.
They are not efficient enough yet.

How can the GAA justify bringing Wexford & Clare down to Cork on a Saturday @3:00?
Surely Thurles is more apt for this. Even Portlaois would have been better. I doubt if there'll be more than 16000 in Cork for this.

Big spanking new stadium needs games.

Clare and Wexford supporters expenses are just colateral in this one.

Allegedly they've a version of Hawkeye installed now in Cork and with some of the poor officiating last weekend it may well be needed.

Clare got the better of Wexford today 0-27 to 1-17. That puts Clare into the Croke Park semi final for the first time since 2013. It will be Galway up next which will be tough for Clare.

Bad miss from Limerick there, should have been a goal. Hope they don't rue those goal chances

KK as bad as I've ever seen them

Delighted for Limerick!
Great to see the stake in the heart of Kilkenny.

Brilliant.

Kilkenny out three weeks in a row and still a much fancied Limerick struggled to beat them!

didlyi · July 15, 2018, 06:11:13 PM

But they did and when KK went ahead Limreick showed their real character. Although KK had so many wides they can thank the keeper for 5 great saves. Great match

Savage game, thought when Hogan got goal that Limerick were goosed but they showed some set to come back to win it the way they did. Donnelly and Leahy coming on for cats was almost crucial but Morrissey & co stood up to seal the deal. Be interesting how odds are for the semi against Cork.

Outright winners
Galway
10/11

Cork
10/3

Limerick
4/1

Clare
11/2
