Thought it was great that all the new lads got a run out. Surely this would be a great opportunity to give a fella another shot or add some into the mix at least.

wexford have a lot more to prove than us, we were favourites against dublin too, the bench is there if we can afford it


in addition we are edging closer to championship and need these lads to bed in as much as possible munster league is for experimenting

Wexford will come firing on sunday. I hope it's not a repeat of the Dublin game and we collapse again. This is an excellent opportunity to make a second league final in a row

Waterford have no right to have ambition/dream of winning all Ireland's if we can't beat Wexford who are missing a few and waterford at full strength

Is it advisable to buy ticket in advance for Sunday? Anyone know if kids need a ticket or if they are free entry?

You'll save yourself a fiver by buying in advance. Kids are free and don't need a ticket

What's the story with parking tomorrow?
Is there much around the ground?

It depends on how early you are. The ground is in a built-up area.

If coming from Waterford, you come to a major roundabout as you approach Wexford. Take a right following N25 for Rosslare. If coming from Dublin on N11 go straight through the roundabout.

At the next roundabout, turn left onto the R733 heading for town centre.

Go through three roundabouts following R733 for Town Centre.

The next (fourth) roundabout is quite close to the ground (up to the left). If you can get parking around here, take it (facing home).

There's a pub (Browne's) at the roundabout. If you turn left at the roundabout there's another pub (Jack Bailey's) a bit further on beside Supervalu supermarket.

Footballers finished up their league campaign with a win. Beating Leitrim 0-10 to 1-6.

After losing 3 games by the minimum it was nice to win one...

KevIRL

Dublin 1-19 Limerick 1-21 FT. Limerick will face the winners of the Wexford/Waterford match in the semi final.

That's a big result for Limerick to get a win in fortress Parnell park. They have been doing well underage, schools, U21 and colleges the past few years. They will be hard to beat in the semi whoever meets them based on that result.

limerick to be the '2015 Waterford of 2016'. If limerick do go on to win the league than the league structure will be changed for 2017 id say

Thurles I'd guess.

I'd imagine a double header somewhere with the other semi


It was TBC on the GAA website the other day

If Kilkenny and Tipp win which I think they will then that rules out Nowlan Park, the Gaelic grounds and Thurles as neutral venues for the usual double header. Pairc Ui Caoimh also out of action. We might actually see some hurling in Croke Park for a change. They'll probably just go with two standalone fixtures though.

I could see kk being cajoled into a thurles encounter....as croke park would be a pure pain to go to (for me!)


All this is on the assumption waterford beat Wexford tomorrow

Calm down... they won a league quarter final is all

If there are three Munster teams in the Semi Finals, the only sensible place to play a double header is Thurles.

By the way, the league structure is fine as it is.

No its not on TV but you can listen to local radio and hear Kieran o Connor with the standard commentary which could be from any Match he ever commentates on " he takes the shot , looks like a good one , oh it's tailed right and wide , from here it looked over "

He also starts going on about players grandmother's, 3rd cousins etc. He also says the wrong score sometimes

He will have a stroke if we ever win the Liam McCarthy

I hate when he does that, terrible radio commentary, he is at it long enough surely he could have ironed out this flaw, it's very annoying when listening it has totally turned me off listening to him do matches

Tipp and Kilkenny have a home and away agreement. The GAA decide who is home and whos away during the round robin so might work off previous league final meetings.

I think 2014 was in Thurles so that would suggest Nowlan Park. Limerick though may not want to play there as they have a good bit further to travel than Waterford. Also they travel in numbers where Dublin don't so that might mean 20,000 can't hold the crowd. Waterford are travelling in numbers and Id say Kilkenny and Tipp fans will travel for that semi final, especially when they get an extra game.

It'll be an interesting decision, probably Thurles at this stage.
