All Ireland Club Hurling Championship

Keeper is a w**ker.

Why?

Can't watch the game here

[Mayo4Sam]

Tries to flick out a back pass & dropped in the forwards lap. 1-18 to 13, all over by the looks of it

Portumna finally woke up in the 2nd half and got back in it but that blunder by the keeper probably ends it. Portumna made far too many errors today and just looked flat all day. Had 2 or 3 goal chances though but didn't take any of them.

Joe Canning is actually having a bigger influence on the game than Shefflin but not getting the same back-up.

That;s the second backpass to the keper they've done. Hurling not a game you should be doing a backpass to keeper in and that's why!

Micheal O'Muircheartaigh reckons its all but over for Portumna, but now he's not so sure!!!

Some great points from Joe

[imtommygunn]

Gees Canning is amazing at taking points.

They've more than one player. They've only one forward though. CHB doing reasonable on Shefflin, Lynch at midfield doing well and McEntee ain't bad.

Portumna will do well to win from here, Ballyhale are tagging over the odd point to keep a big enough gap

Without the Ballyhale goal I reckon it might have been a tight finish but that goal will be enough of a cushion.

[imtommygunn]

Goal killed it. Comeback was looking to be on.

Portuma only really have Canning who can be guaranteed to get points. Ballyhale have two Reids, Shefflin and Fitzpatrick weighing in with a few. Just too many outltes.

Ballyhale were definitely more up for it, their hounding from the first minute was akin to Kilkenny against Cork in the 2006 final.

Hard for a team to keep going to the well and Port are on the road a long time now and have won so much. Ballyhale had all the motivation they needed after the last time they played. Just looked hungrier on the day.

It certainly is for an amateur team, it also helped Ballyhale having more competitve games throughout their whole campaign

Portuma's keeper lost that game for them by gifting the goal, I think the goal spurred Shamrocks on

Ballyhale were the better team anyway, the goal obviously helped, but I think they'd still have won
