    A tight and very intense match. Not a classic, but a good game. Kilkenny kept the Cork forwards well marked so that they had not much opportunity to get the crucial scores. Cork should have sent in more direct ball to their forwards. They overplayed their running game. Cork had by far the bigger crowd, but they were quiet for much of the second half. Cork could get close, but never close enough. They needed that goal earlier in the second half. It was great to be there. That's the Hurling Championship for 2006. Roll on 2007.

    i only got to watch the first half of this mathc but it was okay. not the most exciting i've seen all year. A lot of tit-for tat tackles but some of the scores were good.

    Kilkenny got their goal at the right time too and probably from the first half performance, the better team went on to win.

    We do need more competitive counties. The big 3 have dominated, mainly the big 2, since 1999. More variety is needed. The other counties have to up their standard and maybe an outsider like Laois or Dublin making a big impact would be helpful.

    Is it any worse then football? The big 3 for the past few years have been Kerry, tyrone and Armagh with very few challenging them. Thankfully Tyrone and Armagh didnt make it this year. But yet again we have Kerry in the final.

    Mayo/ Dublin are the only team who might be able to challenge them. The rest are poor. Even though Cork won the MFC they still are a long way off Kerry.

    However in hurling theirs the big 2 of Cork and Kilkenny. However teams like Tip, Clare, Waterford and Galway all have a chance against Cork or Kilkenny. If it wasnt for Corks excellent fight spirit we wouldnt of made the final.

    Limerick steadily improving which is great to see. I think the Hurling is in a healthier state then the football. Alot of the football matches this year have been of shocking quality, i think the Hurling has been alot more enjoyable.
