Clare missing Cleary could be a blessing disguise for them as he lacks the mobility and agility for a modern day full back

He would have been brilliant back in lohans day but the game has moved on

Limerick only hit the ball into Gillane under certain conditions

When it's not on

They point from distance

[Clare didn't go off and do a deal with Limerick]

It seems a bit silly by Clare to agree to Limerick as the venue. They should have played it in Cork. Big new stadium with no big games being played there.

Maybe they decided that rather than drive passed the Gaelic grounds and another 50 odd mile to Cork, they'd do their fans a favour and play it at the closest venue. Limerick fans would be coming in on the same road to Cork city.

Ballsy enough move but evidently Thurles not available..

Thurles was available to hold it, I don't know where you got that from

Clare CB wanted Thurles
Limerick CB wanted Cork

as per the statement issued by the Munster Council

Clare requested extra time on Monday night to consult and agreed to the Gaelic Grounds on Tuesday morning

Probably the logical choice as you'd have both sets of fans going down the n20 and Charleville and Buttevant are choked on normal days, the road to Thurles is worse again

Thurles not available in so much as the Munster Council knew of both teams preferences as you outlined and decided on Cork, Clare asked for another 24hours to review their options and then offered to play the game in Limerick.

50/50 ticket allocation will make it a good day out for both sets of fans, the Cork County Board losing out on a payout won't go down well.

Thurles was available to hold it and Clare wanted to go to Thurles

Munster Council hadnt decided on Cork ahead of giving Clare 24 hours to "review their options"

Jesus your some waffler

Are you saying Clare went off and decided to do a deal with Limerick in holding it in the Gaelic Grounds even after telling the Munster Council they preferred Thurles and the Munster Council not having decided where it was going?

Doesn't make any sense to do that from a Clare perspective.

Clare didn't go off and do a deal with Limerick

If the deal was to be done

It was to be done between Clare and the Munster council

Munster Senior Hurling Final Venue Confirmed

Following a meeting today of the CCC of the Munster Council, it has been agreed that the Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final between Clare and Limerick will take place at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Sunday June 11th at 1:45 pm.

This decision follows a request from Clare to the Munster Council CCC on Monday evening of May 29th to postpone making a decision on the venue to allow Clare time to explore the possibility of playing the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. Earlier, Clare had proposed Semple Stadium, while Limerick had proposed Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The Munster Council CCC agreed to postpone making their decision, and today Clare and Limerick have confirmed that they had reached agreement to play the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.

The 1:45 pm throw in time is to facilitate live TV and the possibility of extra time. The Leinster Final throws in at 4 pm.

Stand tickets will be distributed through participating County Boards only, while terrace tickets will be going on sale to the general public on Thursday June 1st at 12 Noon

END OF STATEMENT

No, Clare and Limerick reached an agreement, obviously needed ratified by the Munster Council, but sure it's all done and dusted now!

You do realise it's up to the Munster Council to decide when and where games within the province are to be played


It's amazing that some lad from Down knew that Thurles was unavailable

Even though Clare looked for it and it was available to host

And then knows all about the contents of "the deal" struck between Clare and Limerick,

And then knows the inner workings of the Munster Council

Remarkable

It's ok to be wrong once in a while, premierview even when the Munster council statement proves me right.
Just because I'm from Down doesn't mean I don't have contacts in both Limerick and Clare, let alone Tipp, heck Len Gaynor stayed in our house back when he managed the McDonaghs to a club AI, I could go on.

Wow I'm so impressed

You actually know people not just in Clare but Limerick too

Wow

And a Tipperary man stayed in your house nearly 40 odd years ago

Wow

I hope you have one of the blue plaques up on the wall of your house to signify Lens stay.

You clearly do know people

I like this statement of intent from Clare.

Not only is it looking after their fan base to ensure they will get as much support there as possible, while saving them time and money. It is also a really positive psychological outlook for the team, they don't care where it is played they are ready to go.

Don't get me wrong it could back fire on them but definitely have to give it to them, it is ballsy.

2006 was the last time a team played their opponents at home in a Munster final and won

The last 4/ 5 off the top of my head have all be won by the home team

West Clare is football. East Clare is hurling.

That will be news to the likes of Ballyea then

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Aye

and when you make sweeping generalisations that display your lack of actual knowledge

Expect to get pulled up on them

Good ahow by Waterford.  Bit of fight in them at least.

Good to see Dessie in where he should be.  Makes a big difference.

Tipp will be happy enough.

KK should have put Wexford to the sword. Cody's team wouldn't have let them off I'd say.  Great chance to banish Wexford, one of your rivals, from the Leinster championship for a year.

This KK team is not up to the level of Cody's finest

You dont say

Codys greatest achievement was getting that team to within 2 points of Limerick in last years All Ireland Final

Tipp were abysmal last season so expecting them to be worldbeaters this season was a bit too far

Tipp had their worst year ever last year.

The aim was to get out of Munster which has been achieved

Offaly in Tullamore next up followed by the losers of the Leinster final

A draw or better would have knocked Limerick out yesterday and Cork just couldn't close it out

They will win the All Ireland now

If the DUP manoeuvre the British government into postponing/deferring/cancelling the prospect of a border poll it will be the greatest boost to Nationalism since Brexit.

Another strategic masterstroke by the DUP.

if the DUP had even a whit of strategic thinking they would calling for a border poll now

Win it comprehensively 55-45/60-40

And show that there is a significant Catholic Unionist vote out there, happy with the status quo.

And burying it for another 50 years


There's no clear indication within the GFA that if one poll is called another border poll has to be called within a certain time frame .

A Defining weekend for the Championship

If Cork beat Limerick, they are gone and then its wide open for everyone else.

The more likelihood is that Limerick win and then win the All Ireland

A Tipp win and Limerick win puts Limerick third and a game most likely against Carlow ,

Which Kiely the chance to get game time into the younger Lads who he has been slow enough to bring in, in the heat of a Munster championship

Your English's,Coughlin,Boylan even young Houlihan who featured during the League

They all perform and then Lynch and Hegarty and Hayes get time to get their mojo back

And they are primed to face the losers of a Leinster Final in the Quarter Final

Then they face the Leinster Champions in a semi final

I would have thought if Limerick beat Cork and then the Carlow/Offaly loser and then the Leinster runner up they would quite probably play the Munster Champs in the semi final as the Munster runner up will likely be in the other semi final (after beating winner of Carlow/Offaly and then Dublin who they should also beat).

Runner Up in Joe Mc plays third placed Munster Team Saturday 17/6 or Sunday 18/6

Winner of that then plays Leinster Runner Up on Saturday 24/6
