KK and Tipp will be a great game right enough. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 09/08/2015 17:34:13 1766668 Link 0 |
The cream rises to the top lads. It's up to the other 8 seeded counties to mount a challenge and get their respective houses in order. Kerry compete well at their level. Zzzzzzzzzz from a Donegal man and a Meath man. How are ye're respective club hurling championships going lads? Zzzzzzzzzz all ye want when ye're own counties get up to McCarthy level. The lack of goals in hurling at the moment? Now that is something to Zzzzzzzzzz about! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7928 - 09/08/2015 17:48:10 1766673 Link 0 |

I think Galway will beat Tipperary and could possibly beat Kilkenny. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 10/08/2015 09:12:20 1766888 Link 0 |

Tipp v Galway is 50/50.If Tipp do happen to win,after attending KK v Waterford yesterday,i would find it hard to see Kilkenny being beaten.Too strong at the back.Water-tight.And all the craft,skill and scoring power upfront to carry the day.Kilkenny have the two best players in the game now - Reid & Hogan.Both on top form.Walter Walsh & Colin Fennelly are due big games.No doubt one of them will have a stormer in the final.Tipp v Kilkenny have already given us three of the greatest finals in history - 2009,2010 & 2014,drawn game.They bring out the best in each other.Im sure they wuould do so again.Galway will have something to say about that though. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 10/08/2015 09:37:26 1766916 Link 0 |

You have a fair point there slayer.KK were watertight at the back yesterday,but Waterford made it easy for them.Same as Waterford did for Tipp.I felt M Shanahan was fighting a losing battle,especially in second half.Ball,after ball hit into him around the square,with 2 or 3 KK men surrounding him.It was awful to watch.KKs half back line are excellent C Buckley was my man of the match.Joyce holds the vmcentre and P Walsh reads the game well.P Murphy has been the best corner back over last few years.J Tyrell not far off.Prendergast & Holden did what they had to yesterday,but i remain to be convinced.If Callinan got the right ball,would Holden have the speed?Would Joe do better on him the next day??I dont think Holden has been truly tested,but thats a testament to the protection he gets from his defensive unit. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 10/08/2015 10:48:57 1767017 Link 0 |
In some ways its a pity we have two sporting codes cause it would be interesting if Kerry v Kilkenny were meeting up in finals. crikey (Australia) - Posts: 355 - 10/08/2015 11:30:26 1767070 Link 0 |
Waterford were never going to win yesterday playing the way they play.kilkenny's backs are great but they had an easy day yesterday, 5 against 2 for a lot of the game. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 10/08/2015 11:49:20 1767096 Link 0 |
They might reach a lot of finals but they bring out the best in each other. If Tipp get to the final I expect another classic match. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1365 - 10/08/2015 11:50:31 1767098 Link 0 |
you have to score goals to beat KK. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 10/08/2015 11:56:57 1767106 Link 0 |
Keeping Kilkennys goals out is equally as important to scoring them yourself.Tipp only scored 1 goal in last years final but 28 points still wasnt enough as the cats bagged three goals.Same in 09 for Tipp.Think they got 23 points but the cats bagged the two all important goals.Keeping KK goals out is a perilous task.A goal for the cats gives sometimes feel like its worth more than just the three points.It seems to put a dent in the oppositions pysche. kilkenny are masters at scoring goals at important times. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 10/08/2015 12:06:51 1767121 Link 0 |
We need to beat a Galway team in top form first. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 10/08/2015 12:35:28 1767164 Link 0 |
Fair play to Kilkenny yesterday the are what we all aspire to be. Tipp will beat Galway IMO and I think itl be a great final. And why don't they have Waterford play Galway in a third fourth play off final for all you sleepy / bored fans out there;-) KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 10/08/2015 12:39:53 1767171 Link 0 |

Galway are improving game on game. They have some huge physical guys who are capable of competing in the air. They could take both ourselves and Kilkenny if the upward curve continues and they cut out the wides. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 10/08/2015 12:43:14 1767175 Link 0 |
