Hurling 2022

[Saffrongael]

Surprised he was allowed to get as far before taking the shot, thought the keeper was a bit slow to react to it

[Milltown Row2]

Was a day that Ballygunner never played to the standards they had shown all through the championship but they held on to the tails of Ballyhale, every time Ballygunner got close Ballyhale tagged on a few scores to pull away, this was the only way they were going to win!

The scenes afterwards were what what this competition is all about, Ballyhale have won plenty they'll lick their wounds and have another day with another set of players to come through and compete again, Ballygunner win their first Munster and first all Ireland with the last puck of the ball, pure Roy of the Rovers stuff.

As for the keeper I wouldn't be to hard on him, there was only one place that ball was beating him and it hit that spot. On Keepers, that save from Colin was unreal, they still scored with the follow up but unreal

[imtommygunn]

On the fennelly save it looked like the keeper had his homework done on how fennelly scored his goals. He stood up for as long as he could. I also thought the number 6 should have done a better job of clearing it.

Another factor for the ballyhale goal was visibility. I think one of his own players was blocking his view and that was why he was down so late too.

Ballyhale keeper looks to be an out and out cack hander by the way he attempted to go for the previous goal to his weaker side, the goal in the dying seconds was to his stronger side, but yes, maybe unsighted as it came through a few bodies..

Always good to see a new winners name on the trophy and especially to Waterford lads who've had plenty of heartache in AI finals over the years. They'll also be loving that it was a win over their neighbouring county friends in Kilkenny.

Donal Og is being allowed to promote a very pro-Cork agenda on RTE television.
He is making dog whistles to referees to treat Limerick harshly.

Never thought I'd say this but Donal Og was on the money, Limerick are a cracking team team but Hegarty and some other players are not averse to the dark arts.  Great display by Galway but Limerick have just cranked up the engine for the first time since last year and still favourite for the big cigar.

He is.

The boy who scored the goal for ballygunner said in his interview he couldn't even see if it went in so hard to know how the goalie could have seen it until late bearing that in mind. The first goal of ballygunner's caught the goalie on the wrong foot.

Football and hurling alike the boy running through at the end should have been brought down.

[Milltown Row2]

Two wins in a row for the prody black bastards from Ards 

[imtommygunn]

Two good wins for down. Them and Antrim be an interesting game now

(Hegarty always at that. Deserves it at last)

[seafoid]

Great win for Galway. Shef seems to be making a difference.
Loads of decent hurlers in the county.


Limerick got away with behaviour in the past but Hegarty didn't on Sunday.

That's the good Pradistant work ethic for you 

Good start to the campaign where survival was the main objective against teams that would have previously beaten them comfortably in the recent past.
Kildare at home is winnable in the next game and with Carlow taking points off Westmeath and Westmeath taking points off Kerry, then heck we may end up in a promotion play off.

Need to get this all finished before the Marching season starts or we'll not get the lads to training due to band practices and the likes on the same nights.

Eddie Brennan has Donal Óg down to a tee when summing up his thoughts on Hegartys sending off on Sunday.

No complaints when the rock was throwing Tipp lads against the posts or the likes back in the day...

Limerick are indeed edgy enough in the tackle but so were Kilkenny in their pomp, lets not forget that. If you want to beat Limerick in the summer time you need to be prepared to face it head on and give as good as you get and if you don't you'll get eaten alive like Cork in the AI final.

Yes, maybe with Guillane getting away with a straight red vrs Tipp that referees are looking out for it and no harm in that, but Hegarty responded to getting a thump from a Galway man after he had been fouled (edit, the ball was deemed over the line but the game was stopped when the Galway man barged into him) and if we're to learn anything from the 5 reds dished out in the Tyrone, Armagh game for lads contributing to a melee then lets be consistent.

That same rule exists in both codes.

A lot of the Munster championship will be played in April. Only 3 matches in July. Will take some getting used to.

Limerick have been lucky enough with injuries up to now but they had a good few out on Sunday..
