Big game coming up tonight but people are too busy giving out still.
Will stand tickets be assigned seating for a munster final In Walsh Park or what's the story. Be cutting it fine to get there for 7.
Best place to park coming from dungarvan?
It's a big "ditch"
AFAIK seats are not assigned. (even though their numbered)
I'd park along the road at entrance to Aldi on the cork road. (turn up at tthe maxol). its only a 10 min walk to the field. you could spend that in traffic going up around closer.

They are interesting stats alright tbiggertycome. But it is interesting to see that in the last 5 games Kilkenny have only scored 5 goals. For a team that is noted above all others for scoring goals it's a bit surprising. The Wexford result skews it a bit because in particular last year they were weak opposition, but 10 overall over the last 2 years. Galway have 7 this year and 14 last - 21 overall. And Tipp have 8 this year and 7 last - 15 overall. It would seem from that that Kilkenny are not the goal scoring threat that they once were.
It's also interesting to see how few goals they are conceding. It seems to me that they're largely going with the same philosophy as ourselves of if we can avoid conceding we fancy ourselves to outpoint you. And nicking a goal would be nice. But if Kilkenny were committing men forward they'd have more than that goal return and more conceded as well.
Unfortunately this doesn't bode well for spectacle next week

You're spot on we are scoring less goals than we have in times past but that has been a trend since about 2013 the one difference I see is that Kilkenny are creating 3-5 scoring chances per game they may not be taking them many of them but their at least creating them I've seen all of Waterford's champ games this year and I remember very few other goal attempts other than the one ye scored against Clare maybe I'm wrong.
We definitely do have lads filtering back when the opposition have the ball. However when we have it there is never more than 6 defenders in our half and at least 5 if not 7 in the opposition half and this is a huge difference in style between the teams.
One thing we both agree on it won't be anything worth looking at and a poor imitation of a proper game of hurling.
Best of luck this evening against them Tipp lads hope he bate them.0 -
