2011 u-21 hurling Championship

[Donnellys Hollow]

This is great stuff

[GalwayBayBoy]

Aidan Walsh looks as good a hurler as a footballer here.

Think he looks a better hurler than footballer to be honest. In football he relies a lot on his size and athleticism His actual footballing skills are fairly average. Seems a much more complete hurler.

2nd game in a row where Aidan Walsh has been brilliant - scored a super goal in the semi against Tipp. Have to imagine he will have a choice of codes to pick next year.

Hope Limerick can do it

Limerick corner back will be kicking himself. He had two forwards free for a simple handpass who could have put the ball dead. Hit it aimlessly up the field instead and Walsh got the equiliser from it. Some score in fairness.

Hard to see Limerick winning now as Cork have the momentum.

There's potentially a goal at either end any time the ball gets that far mind but Limerick not getting it that far.

Get in! Some game

[imtommygunn]

Limerick's best player is their sub.

Cork #15 having some extra time.

Still has a draw written all over it...

He learned his lesson there!

Got to hand it to Limerick.

The ref played his part in a great game. Let the game flow.

Brilliant game.

The corner back certainly did learn his lesson. Great to see actually, there's potential in a fella like that.

One of the best games Iv seen. The lack of cynicism was a joy to behold also. Now I know that backs should pull lads down going through on goal but it was great to see open play and plenty of goal chances.

Ya couldnt pick a man of the match there but Aidan Walsh deserves special mention for a super effort given his exertions on Sunday. It told in extra time too but you could not expect anymore from him especially given the pace that game was played at.

I don't I've enjoyed a game as much in a long time. Such a pity there had to be a loser, well done Limerick and tough luck Cork. Glad to see Aidan Walsh got man of the match, a lovely stylish hurler.

[Reillers]

Gutted. Yet again this team fell short, they just can't seem to close out the game. I've been saying for a long time that we have the players but lack the mentality and it was very clear tonight. Now isn't the time for a review though. Outstanding game, they all gave their all, someone had to loose.
Felt we deserved to win, but we just can't seem to get over that final bridge. Fell short yet again, it's always the gallant looser, loosing by 1/2 points in extra time or a replay etc. Seems to be the same old story time and time again with the underage teams.
About time a Cork team showed that level of passion and heart though. Very proud of the lads tonight though. Really needed the win though. Well done to all the lads on both sides just the same. Pity though.

[deiseach]

What a game. That equalising point at the end of normal time was jaw-dropping in its audacity. Even felt a wee bit sorry for Cork at the end

[heffo]

Excellent game - fair play to Limerick.
