Make no mistake - "the mountain men from Derry" can hurl a bit too! The tactics aren't based around going out to hack and thump their way to victory

Yes they can hurl, there's no doubting that, but they'll not want an open shoot out. They'll want it tight and a grind all the way through.

Too many wides. Should be further ahead at halftime. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 10/02/2018 14:34:02 2075413 Link 0 |
Shock on the cards? Slaughtneil have played magnificently so far with brilliant intensity but let's see can they keep it up in the second half.

Slaughtneil appear to be experts in the Dark Arts...hit a na piarsaigh lad and if they retaliate drop to the ground as if shot...sad stuff OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 743 - 10/02/2018 14:58:04 2075415 Link 2 |

Well done Shane Dowling.. What a goal!!! skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1107 - 10/02/2018 15:16:37 2075419 Link 0 |
Slaughtneil giving a masterclass in how to throw away a lead. It started with not coming out on time for the second half. All they had to do was keep hurling like they did in the first half. Conceding stupid frees & really poor wides. They've totally blown a fantastic chance to get to an All-Ireland Final. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 10/02/2018 15:18:14 2075420 Link 0 |
Have Slaughtneil any decent hurlers? gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 10/02/2018 15:19:34 2075421 Link 0 |
Well done to NaPs. They really stood up in that second half. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 10/02/2018 15:27:52 2075422 Link 0 |
Lacking in forwards. Exciting game to watch. Na Piarsaigh are an incredible team.

Nap would have had a reputation for being a bit soft in Limerick over the years, not any more ..what character they've shown there. Losing 2 men in 5mins but winning like that. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1107 - 10/02/2018 15:38:56 2075424 Link 1 |
Mark Schutte a great player to have back for Cuala. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 10/02/2018 16:03:45 2075429 Link 0 |
Could watch Con O'Callaghan hurl all day. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 10/02/2018 16:18:45 2075430 Link 1 |
Cuala were by far the better team. The Mellows forwards made no impact. Has the makings of a cracking final. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 1034 - 10/02/2018 17:18:40 2075435 Link 1 |
Great to see N.a. Piarsaigh win. It was obvious that the Northerners would goad and test their mental fortitude. This worked to an extent. I think southern teams go soft when playing northern hurling teams..its like a condesending apathy. PeggyShippen (Limerick) - Posts: 300 - 10/02/2018 18:53:40 2075463 Link 0 |
A strange analysis not supported by the match stats. Neither free count nor cards issued.
