Much appreciated Laois. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be going well for GMIT, for whom key forwards Andrew O'Shaughnessy (though he plays) and Conor Kavanagh were injury concerns. Canning, a lad who could have been in GMIT, seems to be doing a lot of damage.
Kenneth Burke first score of the second half for GMIT - after 30 seconds 3-8 to 0-3

Again, great thanks, Laois. Dream has died for Galway lads, they left their comeback too late probably. They still have the footballers, who haven't a bad side.
Cheers Coilin.
No hassle lads - UCC/WIT to follow at 3pm!! - Stay tuned!!

Joe 110 metre frees, one from each sideline,just wide with an 80 metre sideline cut. He plays a game I'm not familiar with.

The 2 huge frees and 2 sideline cuts each from either sideline. Anything else to his repertoire?
LIT 0-7 WIT 0-3
Joe 0-5 3 frees 2 cuts CHB for LIT playing well
Jesus great score from the sideline from play for Joe 0-8 0-3
Definate straight red.
There are some posters here who think as long as you lead with the shoulder its ok but shoulder to chin is a straight red.
Hmmm definite should be spelt definite not definate! See I'm learning all the time here, pity herself doesn't see this as educational.
0-9 0-6 30 mins
HT 9 7
Waterford well in this. Limerick hittiing silly long range wides over Cannings head as well as making some poor decisions like picking clean off the ground 25 metres out from your own goal.
That should have been 9 8 HT
Joe misses an 'easy' one from half way. If he stops scoring I'd be worried for Limerick.
11 10 LIT
2 of the last sideline cuts. One for Waterford was TJ Reid I think.
"Dochreidthe"
great win for napier they hammered us in the british final, what did they play like?
Goal for Joe from a free, I thought he miss hit it though.
The ref is a complete sadist.
Canning looks overweight despite his dead ball skills.
3 mins left 1-15 to 15
1-10 to Joe
1-15 to 17 last minute
level Shane o Sullivan
Sideline cut to win for Limerick...guess who?
He nails it!!!!!!!!
Draw great finish.
I'm off to O'Moore Park to the Buffalos so I'll miss the extra time unfortunately.
Enjoy it Hardstation.
keep us posted hardstation
how much time they playing?
I thought the referee should have blown up in normal time after cannings sideline..Wat a beauty
some game
I hope this is being recorded id love to get a copy ! !
amazing, never heard the likes of such a game.
Quote from: hardstation on March 01, 2008, 05:21:35 PM
Holy fcuk.
That was the best save I've ever seen in my life from the WIT keeper.
Canning scores the 70.
Unbelievable save!
Thanks hardstation for keeping us in the no, sounded like an epic. hard luck to LIT, well done to WIT. both teams are heros
that was unreal
who are antrim playing ? footy or hurling
should be a.... thriller. thanks for the up dates
Saw the second half on TG4 and then caught the extra time live. Great game and a pity there was a loser. Nothing between the teams and W'ford got the breaks in extra time.
That had to be one of the most exciting contests ever ?? It was a real classic in terms of the occasion and the excitement - fair play to both sides for serving up a thriller !
Will it come out on dvd do yo think ? would love to watch
I'm sure WIT will have copies on sale soon ! ;)
Watching the final from this fella, http://www.youtube.com/user/Benandonner1 (http://www.youtube.com/user/Benandonner1). Have a look, i think that the LIT fellas seemed to go down wild easy for such big guys. Big joes dead balls are unreal, but he seemed to do nothing from play, Credit to the chap marking him. Galway better hope he can get his act together.
aye mate he had a stormer, totally unreal. For a fella of Joes size and strength he should be able to clear himself a bit a space to get away a shot. Just watching the videos im amazed by how easy some of the LIT fellas when down looking for frees. Wonder should davy have pulled Joe into half forward or middle of the park for 5 mins to mix things up?
Thought he looked a bit heavy myself, a fat student! How can he be slow and carrying weight, he's working with LIT, Portmna and Probably galway, maybe thats the answer in itself or hes just lazy and fond a food and drink. Id imagine if he were any other player davy fitz would of had him of like a shot.
I'd be very interested to see Canning play in the seniors and see how he measures up. Definitely like you guys say he does seem a bit overweight but he nearly has enough ability to make up for it. Mind you, to be honest, Galway have had Cloonan and Farragher playing for the last few years, and no disrespect to either, but their input was predominantly from frees so he wouldn't be much different, worst case, to them.
I watched that game on Saturday. Fair play to WIT - it must be soul destroying seeing sidelines going over from all angles and frees from all distances. 1-16 is some scoring.Showed a lot of character to get back from that In saying that I'd say Eoin Reid scored a lot more from play than Canning and TJ was no slouch either. Expected more from Niall Healy to be honest.
it got to the point where the players could not even give away a sideline ball from the half way line. joe as i said in another thread looked a bit on the top heavy side and looked a bit lazy. i'm sure he was told to take it easy he took some belts from the fullback and the guy think no. 23 ginger haird man was lucky to stay on the field couldnt strike ball but i think he wasn't on to do anything other than blatter people.
was funny that later on tg4 that Bonner and davy fitz were in action against each other in the 97 final.
Savage game of hurling, exactly what was needed on a hungover Saturday afternoon, shame there had to be a loser, well done to all concerned (even that madman Davy Fitz)...
does anyone know were i could get a dvd copy of all the matches, the fitzgibbon semi finals and final. watched the semi's on friday, both were excellent games. and i missed the final on saturday because i was traveling home, the youtube link hasnt got the best of picture. any information would be greatful. and just to comment on the joe canning issue, yes he does look like he is carrying a bit of weight but he is not the only player to do that around this time of year, im sure that if he plays for galway seniors in the summer loughnanne will have in in fine shape, and if he is destroying teams when he's overweight wat will he do if he gets it off. p.s a good bet for the year after watching the semi finals...anthony nash to win the poc fada this year, that man has an unbelievable puck on him. :o
it was a good game to watch, but I switched it over with a few minutes to go with my old college behind by a few points and I couldnt stomach to see them beaten.
You can imagine my shock and delight when opening up the papers the following day to see they had won in extra time - and I had missed it !
Some unbelieveable scores by both sides - they made a mockery of the wet conditions which usually hamper free scoring hurling games!
a great advert to kids and non hurling folk!
Anyone hear anything from todays matches ?

UCC have an excellent team, (as do CIT) but Joe Canning..he's just a different class. Without him it would have been close but Canning was incredible.
Just informed that UCD beat CIT 10-8. Thats from a selector involved so its accurate. Great win for UCD 6 dublin lads starting.

Oh grow up, CIT were missing a few players, that's all I said, I also mentioned seeing as you failed to see that I said that Canning was incredible. But typical you, just totally selective. Never mind what anyone has said, it doesn't matter when it comes to you.

NUI Galway 1-11 0-13 Limerick IT, Dangan
Galway won it by a point in extra time.
Sounds like a cracking game. Have to say I fancied NUIG from the start of this competition, after seeing them against Dublin in the Walsh Cup. Very impressive team.
WIT beat UL 1-15 To 0-14
NUIG beat LIT 1-24 to 1-23 aet
two brilliant games, if i was a betting man id be puttin the savings on NUI to win tomorrow. they were just in a different class to any other team i saw today.
The first match was as good a game of hurling as you'll see all year. NUIG stuck John Lee on Joe Canning and Lee was outstanding. Probably helped that he knows Canning so well from Galway training. Probably marks him fairly regularly. Joe had a real off-day. He even missed a few frees he would normally put over blindfolded.

yeah canning was poor enough, he could have stolen it for them right at the end but he blazed over a 21yard free when LIT were 2 down. barry daly (nuig 12) hurled a storm at midfield

Serious character in this NUIG team. Could, and probably should, have been beaten in all 3 group matches. Came thru extra time yesterday and looked beaten today. Have the momentum now.........

i know im biased towards nuig but the character our lads showed today to come back from 8 points down (i think) at a stage to force extra time, then to have the legs after the game yesterday to keep motorin for the whole of extra time was amazing. you'll be hard pushed to find a better 2 games of hurling played for the ret of the season

They've done that all season as well. They could easily have lost a few games that they ended up winning. They've finished most of their matches strongly though.

They've done that all season as well. They could easily have lost a few games that they ended up winning. They've finished most of their matches strongly though.
Out of the 6 games they played, they could have lost 5 of them. DIT hit so many wides and lost by a point. UCD were well ahead and NUIG equilised with the last puck of the game. CIT were 7 points up having missed 3 guilt edged goal chances. And that was only the group stages.
Sign of a good team tho, with character in abundance.

i take your point about the CIT game, we got outta jail there but as for the rest of the games thats college hurling. among the top colleges theres rarely a puck of the ball between them. In the last few years at the nuig hurling matches iv been at the vast majority have swung on tiny margins. if you look at the LIT game on friday, if canning had been on top form from frees etc i dont think NUIG would have won that game, even though john lee did an exceptional job on him

Oh and I agree with you. I meant it as a positive thing. It is a skill in a team to be able to win tight games. Look at the NUIG footballers, lost to UCC by 1 point after losing 3 FBD league games by a point each. They clearly didn't have that little something that the hurlers had.
Where are Finian Coone and Kerrill Wade in terms of the Galway senior team ?

Well Coone isn't on thier panel, but I would imagine they must be looking hard at him. Has been very impressive for the college
Coone, Wade, Keith Kilkenny and a number of others I think are all part of a development panel currently; training together with a view of maybe supplementing the main panel later in the year or next year. Think Frannie Forde has some input into it.
Kerril Wade was asked up but declined
