Championship tweets: Henry v Joe

June 23, 2014

No ordinary hurlers. Joe Canning and Henry Shefflin celebrate their late scores at O'Connor Parl Tullamore.
No prizes for guessing what GAA topic was trending on twitter over the weekend.

Time to give Canning a go inside for a period...could he exploit the space? can always bring him back out again...#gaa

Paul barden of Longford is one of the best forwards in the country the last 15 years #class player

Very surreal feeling today, one of the best experiences!To the people that travelled, huge respect and gratitude, makes it all worth it #DVG

Donegal very impressive in second half. Darrach O Connor looks like a quality baller. Should be an interesting Ulster Final. #gaa

Very sorry for Emmet and the lads..They gave it everything but were given little or no support form the top. I wish them all well

Final score not a true reflection of the ease with which Longford won. Without Lynch we'd have been hammered. Well done Longford

Fair play to Longford. Screwed up everyone's wknd accumulator, but serious result for them! Bridged 22 league placings ??!!
