Hurling 2024

[ClubScene13]

It's all flashes of quality here and there with Cork and absolutely no consistency. Hard to see them having enough to finish above Limerick, Clare, Tipp in Munster. And we know how that will go down for the 2nd year in a row with the public down there

Good match so far between Antrim and Dublin with the wind favouring Antrim in the second half

[seafoid]

Galway have had a decent spell coming up to half time.

Just the 12 steps I counted for the Waterford goal v Clare 

[Gallybander]

Just the 12 steps I counted for the Waterford goal v Clare 

The ref couldn't see if he tapped the ball on the stick or not, cos he was facing away and had a big Clare mullocker on his back.

[Captain Scarlet]

Donal Óg gets ten monologues a year written into his contract? It's so painfully set up and the man does not give a flyin' f**k about Ulster Hurling.

He was on one about the split season and then when a Westmeath player said he loved it...there was nothing said. I'd be more keen to hear from the likes of the Louth Captain who was on last night.

But, hurling folk are more precious than rugby people. If you don't scream hurling is the best game ever then they have an issue. Maybe some people don't like it. Maybe kids, even the ones who start young simply do not enjoy it as much as other sports...that's just a thought mind.

he spoke really well last night, GAA really need to help the smaller hurling counties as he said not just pay them lip service

[Captain Scarlet]

I agree, but the likes of Donal Óg and the other lads do pay lip service. Then if the sacred cow of MUNSTER HURLING!!! gets slighted or not lauded enough then he goes nuclear.
The same lad had a needless diog at the Tailteann Cup last year and I reckon plenty like him don't respect hurling outside the big lads.

It's a strange one where they moan about hurling not growing but then it's a massive issue if any of the Liam McCarthy lads' funds go to help weaker counties.

I do tend to say the real hurling men are the ones who are plugging away in the trenches.

His rant before the Cork v Kilkenny game was something to behold.

He was giving out that Croke Park allowed Cork to proceed with the renovations to SuperValue Pairc and this was a millstone around Cork GAA, you really couldn't make it up.

Not all hurling people are.

Donal Og is a dose talking about the sacred Munster hurling championship

The longest period Cork went without winning an all Ireland used to be 1903-19 or 16 years.
For Kilkenny the longest period was 1922-32 and 1947-57 or 10 years.

Cork's Last all Ireland was 2005 so this year is year 19
Kilkenny's last all Ireland was 2015 so this year is year 10.

Who introduced the short hurls to the game? It seems to have happened between the 2020 all ireland and the 2021 final. Was it Limerick ?

Marty Mallon in Down was playing with a 32" hurl in the 90's. Everyone else was hammering away with 36 and 37" hurls at that time.
