Hurling 2024

[Milltown Row2]

Is Croke not an option ?

The logical choice would

Tipp v Galway in Limerick

Clare v Dublin in Portlaoise

There's nothing to gained by having a double header in a half or even third full Croke Park and dragging 2 counties from the west across the country to Dublin

Galway and Dublin will struggle to win these games. Could be tight at times but feel Tipp and Clare will pull away with 10 minutes to go

How did Tipp play in last year's All Ireland semi final ?

I'm talking about this year, no point talking about last year as that has no reflection on this game

Tipp are in a much better place this year than last in terms of a game plan, S&C, and player buy in, so I'd expect them to give Galway a right rattle.
We're now into the knockout phase (in reality) so Tipp and indeed Galway cannot be holding anything back from now on in..

[seafoid]

I don't think there will be much in it.

[marty34]

Yeah, knock out now.

Sometimes after a very good result like Tipp, the form could dip a bit.  Can they replicate it? Offaly's score was quite decent so Tipp conceded a good few chances themselves.

Basically Galway need to win - for Henry's sake. Another loss this year, after the Leinster Final would be a brutal blow for him, the players and his management team

Tipp be strong favourites but it could be tighter then people think.

Antrim's Neil McManus calls it a day on the inter county scene.  Seriously good hurler who gave Antrim 17/18 years of service.

Fantastic servant for Cushendall, Antrim and hurling in general.

Get him signed up full time for The Sunday Game asap please.  Great pundit.

Dublin are a big price at 11/2, if Clare have any sort of hangover from the Munster final

He didn't look out of place when doing halftime at a game a few seasons ago

Clare can throw in a ropey performance when least expected. Went into the all Ireland semi v KK as favourites last year and were beat out the gate in 15 minutes. Dubs might be worth a sneaky £10

Don't underestimate the loss of John Conlon to them, but they never fronted up with a physical Kilkenny, they'll need to show something better than that against the Dubs, but I'm not expecting Clare to win this by much.

[seafoid]

Dublin have been building momentum as well but Clare have more hurling.

Had it have been in Croke I'd have given Dublin a bit of a sniff, but the fact its down the country plays to Clare. Can only see one result here.

[marty34]

Declan Hannon to miss the semi-final. Might be back for the final.

Injuries starting to hit Luimneach now. The bench is getting tested, but holding firm.

What happened Conlon?
