National Hurling League 2015 General Discussion

Fireball07

Dublin just playing with a much higher intensity all over the pitch.

Fireball07

Schutte destroying Cahalane like he did to Richie, playing serious hurling atm.

corny

Harnedy and Lehane have far too much legs for the Dublin HBs.

STB.

Damn. good goal by Cork. Only 3 in it now.

Dan Chipowski

Three crucial interceptions by Peter Kelly at various stages to deny Cork goals today.

STB.

How much Extra time was played!

Schutte should have had a free. Dubs have been robbed.

corny

Horrible way to lose.

letowski

Fair play to Cork that was some comeback.

Dan Chipowski

Some comeback for Cork.

Never seen Jimmy Barry-Murphy so animated on the line before!

Sitamoia

Jaysus

Hitchens

There is. Its up on 23.5E.

Marty Morrissey did the first game. Ger Canning is doing the second.

Callinan took 8 steps there.

Jaysus. TG4 commentators are waaaay better than those two.

letowski

That was top top class.

Fireball07

Another goal for Tipp. They've looked a bit aimless so far but when they run at Waterford, they're causing problems. A lot of poor shooting from Waterford, that will cost them.

Fireball07

Lovely score from Callanan. Tipp are hitting a lot of ball straight to Waterford backs, and Waterford work it well out of defence but then just lump it straight towards a 50-50 and don't have the ballwinners up front. Bit brainless.

letowski

I think they are beating the Waterford system though. They are comfortable bringing the ball out of defense and sending it crossfield into the corners, making the extra players Waterford have back redundant.

Hard to see past Tipp going all the way this Summer

thinkstoomuch1

Early yet but tipp total control
Only one winner as tipp are no Dublin and Waterford certainly no cork imo allow same comeback
I said this week Waterford over rated based on nothing achieved yet and while deserved huge credit division two it'd an awful awful division and when Waterford could not beat a poor one dimensional limerick showed while good certainly not good as made out to be
This is even weak tipp team
Huge gap between division one hurling and lower division
No wonder no team lower division won all Ireland since 96

Brendan Maher has had a lot of influence so far but having the likes of Callanan & Bonner is a huge advantage, Waterford don't have players like that really. Still a lot of aimless ball by Tipp which O'Shea might be worried about against a better team.


First point from play for Waterford there, I think, which is a main problem, I think.

no access to Sky TV I'm afraid

Fireball07

Enjoyable game, both defences on top really. Lots of great fielding from both sides.

Tipp finding scores that little bit easier but have picked up a lot of yellow cards.

webels

Great fight in Waterford as the half went on great to see.

GoldFour4

Tipp have some nice little scores but are playing a lot of pointless ball into the forwards too.

Fireball07

Great goal. Poor defending/goalkeeping, Waterford doing well now.

webels

Great stuff from Waterford. Tipp have gone missing this half.

letowski

Great stuff by Waterford, they fully deserve that. Great hurling today in Nowlan Park.
