Both games are on Sunday May 28th, Laois v Wexford is in Portlaoise (2pm) while Galway v Dublin is in Tullamore (4pm)

Can't imagine it makes any odds to Dublin or Galway whether its Tullamore or Portloaise. Would nearly fill Portlaoise - I'm assuming Laois have home draw here.

Which is why I favour an open draw. As others have pointed out the group qualifiers were a disaster, Almost killed interest in the championship until semi finals.

My point regarding Westmeath was that they were arbitrarily denied promotion in league and fked out of Leinster when they took in Antrim! no wonder they were annoyed! I don't think they would ask for anything more than a fair go.


(That was reply to Gilberto. Quote malfunction!)

Imagine a Limerick vs Cork Munster Final and Dublin vs Wexford Leinster Final

the qualifers would consist of these teams

Munster
Clare
Tipp
Waterford
Laois/Westmeath/CR Champs

Leinster
Galway
Kilkenny
Offaly
Laois/Westmeath

realistically that is not going to happen

It's not that unlikely. Improbable but stranger things have happened

We did have Cork, Limerick, Clare and Dublin in the AI semi finals in 2013.

Hope the two teams can keep up this pace.

Cracking start

Tipp could hit a 30+ points total here.

Agree, very much a shoot out. Will suit Tipp as game goes on

Bill cooper for cork isn't having a good day so far. A few things not going his way.

Cork not disgracing themselves by any means but I reckon Tipp will kick on with the wind in the second half.

Very entertaining match so far. I do think Tipp will be to push on in the 2nd half.

The constant references to a good exciting match being indicative of the Munster Championship is getting quite tiresome.

Realt Dearg Sec

Yeah the Munster stuff is some ****e talk in fairness.

letowski

Interesting now.

Always great to see an underdog win

Some win for cork, they really deserved it. Classic open hurling that suited cork. Well done

Great game..delighted for Cork and the Championship....

blackcard

Great game, credit to both teams. And not a sweeper in sight

I've a feeling this year could be similar to 2013, but this time with Galway rising to win the all Ireland at last.
