All Ireland 2025 championships. Call it.

[johnnycool]

this weekend sees the start of competitive action in both provincial round robins.

Who's going to make a few predictions?

Wexford v Antrim (Wexford for me, Davy Fitz to say Wexford were extra motivated due to his involvement with Antrim    )
Kilkenny v Galway (Kilkenny have the more developed team)
Dublin v Offaly     (The Dubs should have enough)


Clare v Cork       (Cork to squeak over the line against a fired up Clare)

Tipp v Limerick    (Limerick have too much on this current Tipp team who may be in a bad place mentally after the pounding they took in the league final)

The Munster championship is streets ahead of anything in Gaelic games..

It's do or die from the first whistle

Clare going with the tried and trusted from 2024 AI winning team barring the injured Shane O'Donnell.  As reigning AI champions I'd be expecting fire and brimstone from them as the Cork lads arrive down in Ennis.

The interesting selection so far today is that Nicky Quaid is selected to start in goals for Limerick just over 5 months after they announced he'd had the ACL operation.
That is a serious quick recovery if true.

Disappointed in the Antrim lineup - looks like a sweeper being deployed.

Have a sneaky feeling for Clare.

Dubs, kk and limerick otherwise.

I'm settling for a Tyrone club hurling league

[Milltown Row2]

Galway were dung, they have went backwards at an alarming rate, missing few players but that was a poor showing today

[imtommygunn]

They were shocking in the league - so far off the pace. Hard to believe they have went that far back especially given they're up there at underage most years.

8,243 is all that attended Kilkenny v Galway yesterday. Is it just Munster and the All-Ireland series for well attended Hurling matches nowadays?

Cork will walk it. Expect them to lay down and hammer an over the hill Clare team. Paddy Power has paid out on Cork winning the hurling All Ireland.

They won't walk it, but they have the strongest team and bench right now.

Munster hurling championship is the only championship in either code that gets any promotion.
