Galway 11-4 for Leinster Hurling

Warper

Ladbrokes have Galway @ 11-4 to win Leinster Hurling. This seems a fair price given the form they are in and KK's lack of form. OK the League is totally different than the Champ but Galway should beat Wexford and probably Offaly on the way to meeting KK in the Final. They are no way 11-4 shots this year to beat KK. They might not win the All-Ireland in where they are around 11-2 shots but the 11-4 looks like value. PP only have them at 2-1 for Leinster and Laddies sometimes get the GAA prices a bit off.

Would have to agree with you. I am also having a big lay on Kilkenny this year, i really do not think they are going to win the All-ireland this year. Galway at 11/4 sounds like value as they are the only team that will have a chance against the Cats.. My personally fancy for the all-ireland is Tipperary. Good luck, good bet.

my money is on waterford to win munster @ 3/1 and to win the all ireland @ 25/1. think this is their year where they have a nice mix of youth and experience.

lads beware laying KK at any price.

Are you a waterford man? I am a Limerick man myself. Just see Tipp coming on from last year.

Galway man myself... would say that tipps rather under the radar league campaign is just what was needed..will canter through munster... they will defo be in allireland final.

nope, im an offaly man, but i was at most of tipps games last year and while they were excellent in the all ireland final, i still think they are very vulnerable in munster

I would have to disagree. The only team i can possibly see challenging Tipp in Munster is Cork , i would not fancy Waterford at all. They are an aged team in my opinion. Tipp are young, fit, hungry and skillful.. Corbett will run the show

yeah i can see where your coming from alright, i just think waterford will be much better this year then last, especially with eoin kelly further outfield. If waterford had him out there from the start last year i think they would have bet KK in the semi-final

Galway are excellent value at 11/4. IMO they're even better value at 11/2 for the All-Ireland. Cant see them having any trouble getting to the Leinster final and they are about the only team bar Tipperary last year to trouble Kilkenny in a championship match over the last few years. They probably have the best full-forward line in the country aswell with Iarla Tannion, Joe Canning and Damien Hayes. Add in Ger Farraghers accuracy from frees so far this year and its going to take a great team to stop them.

Cant see Waterford winning the Munster to be honest, the winners of Tipp and Cork should take that one. Waterford wont learn much from playing Clare, whereas the Tipp Cork winners will really have to fight it out to get to the final.

One final point, I think anyone would be extremely foolish to lay Kilkenny, either for All-ireland or Leinster. Yes, their league form has been poor, but bear in mind they were without Eoin Larkin and Eddie Brennan and TJ Reid for most of that campaign. Not to mention that Henry Shefflin didn't play any league matches either. They also demolished Waterford in a challenge match over the weekend with a close on full strength side.

I fancy Galway more for Leinster than I do for the AI. If they dont win Leinster I cant see them winning the AI so I think they have to go for Leinster big-time. The AI is another story. I wouldnt lay KK for the AI as they could very well come through the back-door.

Regards Munster I think whoever wins the Cork-Tipp will win it and preference is for Tipp as they should improve from last year and they will be hard to beat not just in Munster but in the AI. I see PP have them @ 4-6 to beat Cork and only evens for Munster.

I think Galway are way ahead of tipp is relation to winning the All-Ireland this, year, but i wouldn't be laying Kilkenny yet, good players back and some excellent new options, well still be hard enough to beat.

I would think 11/4 about Leinster is good value, and 11/2 for the allireland is very good, as it looks a 2 horse race..;)

tipp are very much still the pretenders to KK's crown aidan... this comin from a galway man... and im very positive about our chances.. remember tipp beat both galway and KK in the league when it was put up to them.. Tipp will bein the allreland final next year
