Hurling 2024

[Capt Pat]

Limerick have 3 goals in this game to none for Cork. Cork need to change that. Limerick up by 3.

[Capt Pat]

Cork got a goal but it wasn't enough. Tip were well beaten by Waterford so Limerick go to the Munster final to play Clare. Tipperary barely survived and Cork go home.

[seafoid]

Tipp were abysmal last season so expecting them to be worldbeaters this season was a bit too far

Donal og talks some bollocks. Why would you give Westmeath more than anyone lee because they got relegated?

[marty34]

Good ahow by Waterford.  Bit of fight in them at least.

Good to see Dessie in where he should be.  Makes a big difference.

Tipp will be happy enough.

KK should have put Wexford to the sword. Cody's team wouldn't have let them off I'd say.  Great chance to banish Wexford, one of your rivals, from the Leinster championship for a year.

We were four minutes from being in the Joe McDonagh next year. If we can strike a chord somewhere in the middle, we will have a big say in how things go over the next few years.

This KK team is not up to the level of Cody's finest

Tipp had their worst year ever last year.

The aim was to get out of Munster which has been achieved

Offaly in Tullamore next up followed by the losers of the Leinster final

A draw or better would have knocked Limerick out yesterday and Cork just couldn't close it out

They will win the All Ireland now

[Dag Dog]

Limerick may have been a bit fortunate yesterday but did enough to stay in the championship and will push on.
The salty tears of Cork fans are delicious. Extra bonus!

I think Cork are coming & will be there or thereabouts in a year or two

[Ash Smoker]

When will the Munster final venue be announced?
Trying to get to it.

[Milltown Row2]

An amazing game and unfortunately one team won't be given another shot at it

Tipp were shite for most of the 70s. Last year only lasted a year.

I dunno about Limerick and the 4 in a row. Cork are not the finished article. There is something missing from Limerick. They remind me of Kilkenny in 2013. They  couldn't find their mojo.

Cork failed to deal with the high balls in a paid the price, yes the penalty was soft but the optics for O'Donoghue weren't good, the ball had broken off the two lads, O'Donoghue didn't see where it had gone, had his arm in (as does any defender nowadays) and Guillane trying to get to the ball even if he has a hold of O'Donoghues arm, it's easy to see why it was given TBH.

Limerick also left at least two good goal chances behind, great flick off the hurl by the Cork keeper, Collins to prevent Guillane from pulling the trigger in the first half when only 8 metres out and also Guillanes poor layoff to Flanaghan in the second half with the goal at their mercy.

Yes, Cork have made improvements but they've still a bit to go, they rightly got a lot of frees due to Limerick's tackling being wayward and more often than not high tackles, but Limerick still hit something like 14 wides, some of those very poor, others were down to good pressure on the attacker but they also struggled and left a lot of space in behind and left both Guillane and Flanaghan too often on one on one situations, that needs addressed, the same wasn't happening for the Cork forwards who'd two or three Limerick defenders to take on a beat before a chance arose.

Limerick still aren't their slickest, dropped catches, missed lifts, poor passes, wrong options still riddled this performance but there was a greater intensity to them and they've found themselves in the Munster final after Tipp failed to turn up in Tom Semples field.

It's all to play for and Limerick are back in the driving seat.
