As for yesterday it was very flat display by ballintubber they simply didn't do themselves justice on the day however Corofin were superb it's the best side I have seen them having since the mid 90s and for me it's a two horse race between themselves and St Vincent's now.

Great stuff dished up by kilmallock and Cratlow in the Munster club final yesterday, one of the best club games of hurling ive seen in a while.

Great win for Kilmallock. Time of year didn't suit Cratloe as they play a similar brand of hurling to the Clare team, a possession game which demands great energy. Been out every week wouldn't have done them any good either going to extra time. While the game was top class entertainment I thought the over carrying, particularly by Cratloe, was crazy. Refs have gone completely soft on this and it leads to fouling by opponents trying to counteract it. Not sure who introduced it on such a wide scale but most certainly Davy's Clare, and Clare teams generally, are guilty of it big time.

dj tricks and tracks haha love it
i do agree midfield is defo there weak area
they can be good at times but the pairing dont have it in them to last a full 60 minutes
dont agree about their defence though,for me they are solid at the back

1674602 Would any Galway posters know how many of this Corofin team are sons of the team that won the All-Ireland in 98? I presume one of the Burke's or Silke's are?
Liam Silke is son of Brian, Ian Burke is son of Ollie, Ronan Steede is son of Eddie, all formeer greats with Corofin..

Thanks Belclare, I thought there might be more Burkes. Just shows how important tradition is in some areas, great to see.

True hill, its hard to beat that type of thing. No, Corofin play their quarter final in London in 2 weeks.

They are showing the stacks game live I think and deferred coverage of the ulster final.

KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 27/11/2014 13:17:55    1675189

Both games are live, 2pm for the Munster Final and 3.30pm for the Ulster Final so should be a good day of sport on the box.

The standard of club football this year is shocking bad , Munster is at an all time low for club football not one decent game have I seen and a terrible standard.

The Munster final was awful.As soon as Stacks were reduced to 14 men,the Nire seemed to be startled that they had a great chance to go on and win.They froze bigtime.It looked like they never really believed they could do it.

Yeah Munster looks very weak. Terrible final. The Nire only got 1 score after the sending off which happened around the 15 minute mark. Anyone else thought the ref was very poor?

Omagh v Slaughtneil much better game, even if the ref is letting a world of pulling and dragging go.

besidetheditch (Dublin) - Posts: 81 - 30/11/2014 16:32:54    1675591

Excellent Ulster final.Hard on Omagh but fair play to Slaughtneil.A fitting last score to win it.

cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 30/11/2014 16:51:24    1675597

Agree that Munster Final was dreadful. Nire couldn't score, and gave away 2 soft goals in the first half. Stacks were no great shakes, but knew how to win the game. Standard in Ulster Final far better.
