Hurling 2024

I think they should have run off the league, week on week until finished.

Then gave the few weeks break during the league to the championship to spread it out a bit.

I thought there was plenty of bite in the Waterford Wexford game yesterday.

Some meaty challenges and no easy fouls to be won!

Waterford would need to work on shot selection and accuracy

They'd plenty opportunity to win that.

On another note, Cavan beat Armagh.

That be like Antrim beating Limerick in the league

Pity to see that as it's an Antrim man managing Armagh!

There was an Antrim man managing Cavan last year, not sure if he's there this year

Good for Cavan, the same county Croke Park were looking removed from the NHL's

I didn't know that Ciara Mageean's father played hurling for Down and bate Kilkenny back in the 90s.

Bate Kilkenny and relegated them to Div2 and in Nowlan park. DJ Carey was playing also.
The team bus lost a window on the Ormeau Road on the way home.
 
Cork bate us in the league semifinal in Croke Park a few weeks later.

Chrissy AKA the White Hunter was centre forward that day.

Ned Quinn took control of Kilkenny soon after and the rest is history.

Were you playing JC or are you younger than I imagine lol

He was a decent hurler in a very good Down team at the time. A few of those names starting to appear on down seniors now too.

Very good first half from Galway. Backs putting Limerick under pressure, Forwards rotating and good intensity

If Galway at home to a 14 man Limerick in a league game aren't able to win then you'd have to wonder what chance have they got of beating them in a knock out championship game this summer?

Fair point. Limerick outscoring them in the 2nd half.

A draw the result. Galway outscored 0-8 to 0-5 in the 2nd half.

If Galway were beaten out the gate last year yesterday was an improvement. Intensity and goals may beat Limerick this year. Or may not. Lets see
