They'll be looking for another All-Ireland.

Be hard to see who'll stop them in fairness.  Maybe Na Piarsaigh or St. Thomas'?

Ballygunner best team in it, in my opinion .Munster will be hard won for whoever it is, the other provinces are easier to get out of obviously. Slaughneil straight into Ulster Final for example.
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Surely they'll win it with Ballyhale gone. Experience of getting out of your county and then province is massive at that lev

St Thomas' have won 6 in a row but only 1 all Ireland. Maybe back to back will be a struggle for Ballygunner.

Ballygunner were put out at the semi-final stage last year vrs Ballyhale.

Dunloy got the better of St Thomas' so you'd expect them to be facing either the Leinster champs or the Munster champs.

Some very strong teams still in Munster, the Cork champs have been probably the weakest teams at this level the last few years.

Cork and Tipp teams. Cork GAA is going through a rough patch.
I would love to see an Ulster team winning.

Quite a few counties wouldn't mind their rough patch

It will be interesting how the current crop of U20's transition into Senior hurling.
It won't be plain sailing for Cork lads.

They were really far off the pace yesterday. I know Ballygunner are very good but Sarsfields were also very poor.

NAG1

Sars were very poor, not close to the level either of BG or of either of the two Tipp finalists.

To be fair to BG they are well drilled they have a really effective system and in Dessie they have a super star.

Too early for that. Need to introduce a few players every year. Won't happen overnight.

You can't just trust Cork at senior level. You don't know what you'll get. You think they are going well then they collapse.

If Joyce stays at 6 and Coleman gets back, that'll be a boost. Still over reliant on Pat H. I think.  Great servant.  I wonder will he be back again in 2024.

Cork never got over the strike.
Nobody would have realised at the time how significant the 2006 hurling final was.
Kilkenny ended up overtaking Cork on the roll of honour.
