Hurling 2024

[Milltown Row2]

Personally thought the standard was poor from both teams, intensity at max, effort at max but 2-13 is a very low scoring return

Na Fianna should win handy enough

Did like the young bucks though of KK, up for a battle

But just think the Dubs should come through, think the winner of the other semi will win the title though, so, a huge hurdle for the Ulster champions (should be S'neil)

What's the wording of the rule "clear striking action" ?

Released and struck with a definite striking action of a hand.

I'd say there aren't many in the modern game meeting that definition. Barry Kelly who knows something about refereeing says the vast majority are illegal.

So, if there is a break in connection with ball and hand, is that throwing the ball?

When you've an actual ref coming out with stuff like this, it's clear the problem doesn't lie with rule book.  But rather with the ignorance of it.

As I've said til I'm blue in the face - it doesn't have to be a throw to be a foul.

Whatever. No one really cares enough to complain too much.

Plenty counties looking ref's though, with your attitude, you'd do well

Couldn't fault the effort level of either team and conditions were tricky, but my god the quality was low.

That little bit more experience just got KK over the line, the big man coming on toward the end got them back into the game and then got on a lot of ball to keep them there.

Dowling back to Limerick setup as a keeper.

I didn't realise that Quaid had done his cruciate, so it makes a bit more sense now!

Yeah, gone for the year.

Will be a huge loss to Limerick.

Be interesting to see who Limerick's No. 1 will be now.  Dowling is good but Gillane, is progressing well also.
