It was a decent game. Clare put in a good performance but naturally will be disappointed. Agreed that two good finals are coming up. There should be two good Phase 2 games to look forward to as well.

Well glad someone pointed at that cant take thurles blues seriously as he posted when we leaving the match just another fool you get in every county that dosent go to their countys matches an dit biggest website and armchair fan in their county haha he be upset Watherford fans next!Good performance by Banner we hope it and worried by some Sparrow selections but was gutsy they went for it and great in FH in particular,goals conceded at wrong time an dso many an dunlucky not get a second before HT.In end Tipp better but we didnt deserve to lose by 9,5 be fairer reflection.We work do in back and fowars nbut Tipp are best in country an d good way to measure our where we are.Should be good Munster final as munster be good so far.

clareman, what's that in English?

On a serious note, agree that a 5 point margin would have been a fairer reflection, ye gave away some very soft goals

Well done anyway

Good match and I expected clare to come at us hard but really knew they wouldn't be able to keep it up for the whole game. That's why i was making the point clare have good players but are well off the finished article but they'll get there in time.

From our point of view its good to see tipp getting a good win when not playing the best, fair play to declan ryan he didn't hold back on making the changes needed unlike the cork game, stapleton and ellis tightened up the defense. Tipp have a fair bit to tighten up in defense and also even though the forwards put up a big score they is still room for improvement there are the shot i think 13/14 wides including missing 4/5 easy scores.

All in all i'm happy the team is doing well but not on top form which in fairness i would prefer to see them peaking in form a few weeks down the road be it in the qualifers or quarters.

I would be optimistic that we will beat waterford, i expected more from waterford against limerick and at present they don't seem as strong i thought they would be, people are pointing out weakness in tipp full back line well when mickey cahill went on mcgrath he wasn't as free scoring curran was emense and when stapleton came on he tightened things up as well they have only conceeded 1 goal in 2 games also as bad as people make out they are. Brendan maher should be back soon I'd say he will be deployed at wing back which will make that line even stronger..... waterford now they are a with i thing a weak full back line and putting brick walsh at full back that's from what he can do out the field. expect tipp to talk full advantage of this.

You are actually doing your best to ruin this website. I dont know how your posts get through. You are an embarrassment to your county. You claim to be a big supporter but you didnt even go to the match yesterday. This is the last time I will engage with you as I only want to discuss matches with real supporters. On a final point to you (ever), our minors will tump ye next Friday.

I thought you were looking forward to posting me Stekhli
by the way if McGraths goal stood it would have been 12 points
did any one see the arrogance of Pa Burke ducking down to let Noel McGrath hit it over the bar?
outrageous ha ha ha!!!

Tipperary were always going to win this.

I mean Thurles Sarsfields have won the last 8 club finals, Tipp are going for 11 in a row for Liam McCarthy, and they have won minor and U21 every year for the last 30 years.

Credit were credit is due lads, especially to Thurles Sarsfields.

I mean even a stronghold like Antrim has only had 4 different clubs in the club final......

It was a fantastic game of hurling in the first half serious helter skelter stuff, the Munster championship has been really competitive this year. Clare were good yesterday and they will only get better with more experience, I was thoroughly delighted with the Tipp performance and was glad Declan moved on Young and O'Keefe, I felt they were liabilities before the match and I was proved right. For the first time this year I am confident for Tipps next game. I really think Tipp will have too much for Waterford. Anyway great result and roll on the munster final
