I'm going for a big Galway win here once they don't get sucked into a dog fight or arm wrestle otherwise it could be a ugly win. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2207 - 08/07/2018 11:08:22 2119540 Link
Wow, what a difference a week makes. Galway completely dominating the first 20 minutes. Better everywhere than Kk. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 08/07/2018 15:22:58 2119620 Link
VAR on that goal! :) festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 08/07/2018 15:38:32 2119624 Link
Galway just too good for this Kilkenny team, one moan folks is the sliothar too light ? It feels like you can score from anywhere, lads are just tapping it over from their own half I personally don't like it. Put a bit of weight but in the ball imo. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 08/07/2018 15:43:37 2119628 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "And since 2009, Kilkenny have won it 6 times, the rest 3. As I said, you're free to leave, but won't (after your silly threats last year); because you know Munster won't have you." I'm sure Munster would have them. It would be perfect for the round robin.

What a great game brilliant qualities from both teams, Galway seem to have the edge now on KK but somehow I have a feeling these two will be meeting again. Well done Galway and well done to KK for making a real fight of it. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 08/07/2018 16:34:17 2119653 Link
My poor heart. That was some game from both teams. Gaillimh go deo! festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 08/07/2018 16:34:38 2119655 Link
Galway showed why they are All Ireland Champions today. They are much better than the 7 point win, Kilkenny got a lucky goal and a goal that should have been a free out. They will take some stopping again this year, if they play like that again no team will live with them. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 08/07/2018 16:36:14 2119656 Link

Galway were way ahead of Kilkenny and will take some stopping. Deservedly, Galway are strong favourites for All Ireland. Am hoping for Cork and Galway final.

Congratulations to Galway.. Brilliant side. They're going to take some stopping at this stage. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1063 - 08/07/2018 16:36:47 2119658 Link

Replying To Midleton: "I'm sure Munster would have them. It would be perfect for the round robin." You had your chance last year. Galway sounded out Munster when they were threatening to pull out of Leinster. All the Munster counties sad no, To fearful of what they'd do in Munster no doubt.

Well done Galway. Savage game.......some 2nd half comeback by KK BUT they are beatable ...as proved today! RTE ,please change your commentators.....Michael Duignan....a tired and biased pundit....loves KK!!! eaglehaslanded (Cork) - Posts: 135 - 08/07/2018 16:38:51 2119661 Link
Excellent by Galway. Never say die as always by Kilkenny, although their first goal was over carrying and their third goal could've been blown too. Good game. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 08/07/2018 16:43:46 2119666 Link

Real quality in that side and panel overall. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 08/07/2018 16:44:16 2119667 Link
Replying To Dubsfan28: "Excellent by Galway. Never say die as always by Kilkenny, although their first goal was over carrying and their third goal could've been blown too. Good game." 17 Steps exactly he took with first goal, without a hurley. My God what are the GAA going to do about these inept Officials?? Second Goal also questionable, but I will give them that. They have been beaten twice by us now and they got lucky draw. They are still in the All Ireland, and another set of inept officials could hand them an All Ireland.

We'll give them a game.. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1063 - 08/07/2018 17:02:43 2119684 Link
Great result for Galway, pitty we let them slither their way back into it like a snake but great to be back in another All Ireland semi final as back to back Leinster Hurling Champions. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2207 - 08/07/2018 17:09:49 2119686 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "You had your chance last year. Galway sounded out Munster when they were threatening to pull out of Leinster. All the Munster counties sad no, To fearful of what they'd do in Munster no doubt." There are five excellent hurling counties in Munster. Winning Munster Hurling always highly valued. The same situation does not apply to Leinster and adding Galway to Leinster has helped to redress that imbalance. Galway had been in Munster in the past and were not successful. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 08/07/2018 17:14:07 2119688 Link
