Very poor out of Tipperary only two goals against Kerry, does not give any hope for the rest of the year unless we start learning how to score a few goals (see my post above).
Wouldn't exactly hit the alarm buttons just yet now to be fair.
Waterford Crystal cup is a mere warm-up tournament in order to shake off the winter cobwebs. Matter of fact the league cant be read too much into either.
The same teams who played each other in the relegation final last year treated us to a 2 fantastic spectacles of hurling in the All Ireland final and replay September gone so we'd be foolish to over-analyse it. The main priorities of the league would be to remain in the division first and foremost and get as many games out of it as possible (certainly from a season ticket holder point of view
)
To be honest id prefer a Tipp team that's able to score one more point then their opponents and grind out a win then the free flowing goal getters we were in 2011 that bombed in the final when teams copped on how to close down the space.0 -

Second time in the Hastings Cup they have put Loughnane down as been a mines man when he is from Kildangan, not as if we get too many lads playing county like 0 -

AFAIK the North hurling has been postponed a week, was due tonight aswell, but with teh county championship draws been cancelled last Monday due to the ongoing dispute over Aherlow/Lattin I assume the North will wait - 14 teams in the North Hurling so they will need to know exactly what dates the County Championship are on to fit in all the games.
Then again that would be the logical course of action so you can probably ignore it 0 -

Good win for the Under 21`s over Mayo , missing a good few first choice players again . 1-3 from Colin O’Riordan from midfield is impressive . The Silvermines man was missing this week .
Really looking forward to the start of the NFL next Sunday hopefully we can get promoted this year .

Limerick) and stopped on the primary school game (you know the games they play at half time) and came across a certain 'Niall McGrath' from Loughmore National School. 'That couldn't be right' I thought to myself and went up to put the face to the name and sure enough, there's a smiling blonde-haired young fella staring back at me, Noel McGrath as a young lad. Jump forward seven years to 2009 and he's making his debut with the senior team.
The Tipperary primary schools played the Limerick team and on that squad side-by-side were Paul Browne and Conor Allis. Both now feature regularly on the Limerick senior team.
It's remarkable how these guys went from playing in small primary school games before the resumption of the senior games and then went on to replicate their heroes and play at the highest possible level for their counties.
It leads me to wonder what other future All-Star/young hurler of the year/brilliant talent/all of the above we've seen in the last couple of years but we won't know for another while yet.
I have that very programme myself. I think a very young Shane Long gave a match prediction on it on one of the pages
There does be extraordinary skill on display at the Primary games i have to say. Unbelievable technical ability for children.
I suppose the reason alot of them return down the line with the senior team is perhaps the magnitude of the occasion for them to be playing in a big stadium in front of thousands at half time (even if little notice is taken of it) that coupled with their talent it almost becomes a self fulfilling prophecy for them from that point on to go on and hurl adult level for the county.
In McGraths case he comes from practically a GAA dynasty above in Loughmore where the previous generation and perhaps further generations were steeped in the GAA0 -

He said they were targeting waterford in the league game. Cant agree with him there. Surely after the last few years we would have lost that , turn it on, turn it off attitude,that we bring to games. Does he think if we go out and get murdered by Clare, we will switch it on against Waterford. Why not talk strong , send out a message, we want to win every match. Surely thats the tone to start the year, with a group of very talented, but not very focused players.Hope I am wrong.
Personally I wouldn't worry too much this time of year. Sure the 2 relegation finalists contested the All Ireland final last year . WC tournament games are glorified challenge matches. Relax and enjoy the hurling. Save the finger nails come Summertime

murdered us last year in the Crystal, and it turned out to be a fair indicator of where both teams went. Also Cork were amazing in the first league match and destroyed us. I remember him saying after the Clare Waterford Crystal match, we are targeting the Cork match? I dident hear Brian Cody saying they were only interested in the first league match ,they lay down a marker from game one. I do agree with you its early, but it is a big year for management as well as players, our selectors were a mixed bag last year. I hope they are not going to do the usual, we thought after the League Final, they had something up their sleeve, and we would turn it on in the Championship. Turned out they had nothing at all.
KK lost their opening two league games last year and had an equally dissapointing championship as Tipp
Plus do you really think that what the management say to the press is the same as what is said behind closed doors? Having attended most of the games played so far this year I can assure you Tipp are miles ahead of where they were 12 months ago and that can only be a good thing.0 -

The path to an All-Ireland seemed a long way off for the Banner there. It could be it was one of those years, where events conspired to down Kilkenny and Tipp. I pray that was the case. I think it was a golden opportunity lost for us though, we had been knocking on the door for a few years, and if we had of beaten the Cats; i think it was ours for the taking.
Agreed and I still maintain that if Lar had not have come off injured we would have won that game, and I go as far as saying a litlle comfortably, he had Murphy in all sorts of bother, and look at Murphy's performance after Lar came off, he was the match winner for the cats.
That was a desperately unlucky draw aswell, I firmly believe if we had gotten Clares draw and were allowed to build momentum like they were we were more than capable of being champions, but of course we should never have been in that position, the defeat to Limerick having foutght back to lead was inexcusible.
All will be revealed in the coming months and I for one can't bloody wait 0 -
