Limerick are the hurling equivalent of the Dublin 6 in a row. They were also untouchable .

Galway clearly not at the level of the Munster teams when they faced Limerick this year

Even Waterford who had a poor year could have beaten them if they had kept wides down and were right in it till the end

Galway by comparison were beaten with 20 minutes to go

Out on  their legs and out of ideas

They have regressed under Henry and he has a job of work on his hands in the final year of his term

His main  men are all in the autumn of their careers and the replacements don't look up to it
Limerick aren't the as the team who to Clare. Limerick peak for 2 matches and nobody can beat them.

I don't understand your first sentence so I cant comment on what your saying

This notion that Limerick have to peak for 2 games like an 1970's Kerry football team is laughable

Munster is so tight they have to be on it from game 1

Let's not forget that they had to beat Cork to stay in the championship

The reality is that Galway are dependent on lads in their 30's

don't seem to have much coming to match the lads they will be replacing

And have a manger in situ who in his final year next year has some very difficult decisions to make
Munster is intense but the intensity level is nowhere near what Limerick brought yesterday. Do you think they spent the last 4 weeks saving hay?

Rodgers is out according to rte. It is a big blow for Clare.

Incorrect information apparently

Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Really looking forward to this one. Basically if you play Kilkenny you need to fight for every ball like your life depends on it because they will. Question is will Clare do that.

Another Kilkenny and Limerick final with Limerick to win 10.

20 mins played Kilkenny in control thus far and leading 0-10 to 0-7.

Half time Kilkenny 0-15 Clare 0-10 and the cats good value for that 5 point lead.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

If Kilkenny go on to win here they could well have the work rate to match Limerick, was only two points between the sides in last years All Ireland final.

Limerick too strong for either. GOAT team.

It's better for Kilkenny to lose serial all Ireland finals. They are so earnest. Galway have lost enough. Losing All Ireland finals is horrible.

BuzzCagney

A lof Kilkenny support gone home at half time. An awful shower of people.

51 mins played a finely balanced game 0-17 each.

0-15 to 0-9 after 35 mins Kilkenny were leading to Clare leading 0-17 to 0-19 53mns. Big turning point the Kilkenny goal on 55 mins and so preventable from Clare.

62 mins played Kilkenny 1-20 Clare 0-20


Goal for Clare level game again! 1-20 each.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
