Hurling 2025

[Milltown Row2]

In the end Tipp deserved that

[gallsman]

KK completely shat the bed there. The messing to give away the fourth goal was ridiculous from Deegan.

Fair play Tipp.

[OakLeaf]

Good win for Tipp but they'll need to cut out the mistakes if they're to get close to Cork.

[Blowitupref]

1-5 to 0-4 14 man Tipp outscored Kilkenny in the final 15 minutes of action.

The save from the corner back on the goal line at the end was super

[gallsman]

Was straight at him to be honest but he did well to cover.

Huge win for Tipp, regardless of the result in two weeks' time.

[Captain Obvious]

Regardless what happens against Cork next it's been some turnaround in a year by Tipperary. Last year they finished bottom in the Munster championship group without a win to their name.

Is it me though but is the standard gone to pot this year?

[DaleCooper]

Im no judge but very poor second half.

Ger Loughnane would have enjoyed the INTENSITY but scrappy and messy for the neutral

I'm not saying it wasn't scrappy but when a team scored 30 points and loses by 3 it's safe to say the quality of shot selection was very good, and had both teams tidy'ed up their scrappy parts it would have been a better spectacle

[Saffrongael]

Looks like RTE & the scoreboard in Croke Park wrong, gave a point for McGraths late wide. Wondered why Kilkenny weee going for a goal with what looked like enough time to get three points

I thought that myself but wasn't sure. Would have been some craic then if they scored that goal at the end.

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

That's a harsh red

It's a yellow card offence

its very harsh.
Apart from that KK are pulling and dragging all the time and getting away with it

I didn't see the first yellow but it would have been a poor call not to give the 2nd one. That's definitely a yellow card. It's not the ref's job to keep it even.
Poor call on the other sending off incident though.

Huge win for Tipp. A lot of these teams are never that far away, even when they look it. They get themselves organised and they're capable of changing their fortunes very quickly.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Kilkenny can't complaint about the result. Neither team set the world alight. Cork will steam roll tipp if they play like that again.

[The Boy Wonder]

For me it was a hugely enjoyable game.
Far less of the short handpassing (and throwing) that was Limerick's boring signature play.

Whatever about the quality (it was good enough in my view) it ebbed and flowed with the winner in doubt until the end.

And the goals Tipp created and scored - far more entertaining than watching a team rack up 30 points.

I've always been a great fan of Kilkenny hurling but like last year against Clare they left this one behind.
But a Cork-Tipp final is a first and one to really look forward to.
