As Thurlesblues in his short life on here seems to have hijacked every hurling thread on here to tell us about the great Tipp hurling team of John Doyle and Hell's kitchen, I'd thought we'd have a thread where he could amuse us all on here with his musings on that team.

Now I never saw that team play as I was too late, but everyone always spoke highly of them and the great Father Tommy Maher was offered the Kilkenny job for as long as he wanted it if he managed to beat Tipp in a league match which they did in 1967 I think. That Kilkenny team went on to be one of the great Kilkenny teams.

So thurlesblues, if teh Harlem Globetrotters were given a year's hurling training, how many minutes would they be able to stay with the Tipp team of the '60s?

Puddersthecat as I said just because ye beat Tipp in 67 doesnt change anything the present kilnenny team would last 45 mins with them, I know you dont like to hear the truth but cest la vie. i think it actually took ye over 36 years to beat us in a championship game

You are entitled to your opinion pudderscat as a Kilkenny man and I am entitled to mine as a Tipp man in relation to who was the greatest hurling team of all time and we disagree on it!

Would the Tipperary team of the 1960's live with the Limerick team of the 1930's?

Obviously in those 30 years training methods may have improved and styles might have changed, but I don't see much mention of Tipperary in the article below. In fact the only side who seemed able to get the better of Limerick in this era, was .......... Kilkenny.

So on the list of great hurling teams would we have

1 - Kilkenny present
2 - Limerick 1930's
3 - ????

we won 2 thurlesblues, but there you go contradticing yourself again.

We won 2 in the 30's, ye won 4 in the 60's and Kilkenny won 7 in the 00's.

Face it, they put ye in the shade.

slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6526 - 16/07/2010 16:37:30    711718

As I said Slayer ye have 7 in all and we won 4 in that decade so we did win nearly as many as yer total in the 60s! does that put it in the shade for you??
