Hurling Championship 2026

Replying To Southsham:  "I'm astonished speaking to people why they think it is a forgone conclusion it will be a Limerick Cork Final.
Dublin's result against Limerick last year should surely be in people's minds.
For me Clare will be very dangerous and Galway have some fantastic players, possibly need to tighten up in defence."
What gives me confidence of Limerick winning next week is going in as Munster champions, our greater level of consistency this year and reversing the trend of recent Championship defeats to Cork.

Also i think they can improve on their display in Munster final.

Im taking into account Clare' s Championship performances to date and thats why im backing Limerick to get back to All Ireland final.

I give Galway a great chance of winning, last year a facile semi final win did Cork no favours in the final, what will they have got from last weekend?

Replying To Seniorleague:  "How many hulers did the dubs lose to football though? I think o callaghan and diarmuid connolly were very good hurlers. Rory o carroll too.Are there others im missing?

The money did help to develop players but playing football was the more attractive option."

That happens in dual counties. Dáithí or Comer for example. The late Paul Clancy played both.
