Replying To bloodandbandage: "You are right, we are sickened, but we are sickened at our own team and the same old failings that continue to dog us. Have nothing but admiration for this Galway team and wish them all the best for the final." That just leaves the Loughrea lads so BnB Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20284 - 15/07/2026 09:38:15 2685822 Link

Replying To Tiger1: "Dream on.If we dont have dreams what do we have hope your right put munster hurling back in its box." Well Munster have won everything in at least the last year: Senior, U20, Minor, Club, etc, it is high time to change this. For the sake of hurling you want more than one Province winning everything.

Today is the day... all the training done, tactics gone through with the team. Is Rabbitte going to be left up top on his own, is Mannion going to vacat the 11 roll and drop deep... does this leave Galway wide open to be hit for 30 points from 50-60 yards... Roll on 3:30 and all the questions will be answered Armchairreporter (Galway) - Posts: 154 - 19/07/2026 09:16:58 2686226 Link
Another All-Ireland that just passed us by. streaker (Galway) - Posts: 586 - 19/07/2026 17:25:33 2686259 Link
Nothing to be gained from that experience at all. A closer final would have stood to the younger players but a hammering like that? As well off trying to forget about it. Seniorleague (Galway) - Posts: 182 - 19/07/2026 17:41:55 2686262 Link
Limerick are class but how many Galway players actually had good games. We kept carrying the ball around the middle and they were swarming us. Cathal Mannion alone must have been turned over 5 times. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 613 - 19/07/2026 18:05:41 2686269 Link
Replying To Seniorleague: "Nothing to be gained from that experience at all. A closer final would have stood to the younger players but a hammering like that? As well off trying to forget about it." Nothing to be gained from the excitement levels over the past fortnight, the thousands of Galway supporters who enjoyed the day, the pride those players brought to the county?

Galway had no answers to the skill/physicality/game management techniques they brought to bear. Senior v Junior. AnCrúiscínLán (Galway) - Posts: 128 - 19/07/2026 18:33:08 2686272 Link
You have to hand it Limerick. They blew Galway away today and that was with their foot off the gas for the last 15mins. Galways platform was stopped in its tracks with a ferocious Limerick middle third. Players that were previously breaking tackles and moving forward were sent backwards. I've said it in previous posts that we will never win an All Ireland with no centre forward. Hopefully leesons learned today and move on. It was still a great year. Thanks to the players.

I genuinely think our players would be best quickly putting that debacle behind them and simply moving on if they can.Those kinds of defeats can destroy a teams confidence if they dwell on it too much. Yer mans reply about the build up to the game had no relevance whatsoever to the point i made. Seniorleague (Galway) - Posts: 182 - 19/07/2026 18:55:20 2686279 Link

Surely Limerick were not class on the day, yes they are a class team but won easy today with an average performance sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 1157 - 19/07/2026 19:07:44 2686281 Link
Replying To smallfrank: "Limerick are class but how many Galway players actually had good games. We kept carrying the ball around the middle and they were swarming us. Cathal Mannion alone must have been turned over 5 times." I think what anyone who didn't know it already learned today, is that Limerick are a far better side than we are for the last 9 seasons. That's why they've won 6 of the 9 all-irelands contested in that duration. Galway just found Limerick's combination of physical and athletic intensity too intense for their liking. This was in remarkable and marked contrast to Cork's physicality and intensity in the tackle at the semi-final stage, when Galway seemed to do as they pleased for large tracts of the contest. Yet, Cork seem to think they match up well v Limerick currently, although they did lose the NHL and Munster Finals of 2026 to them too of course.
