hurling qualifiers

jobless

Laois v Limerick
Galway v Antrim
Offaly v Clare
Waterford v Dublin

Antrim look like lambs to the slaughter away to Galway......havent heard much about how galway are playing this year but if limerick can beat Antrim by 25 points then i'm sure galway can win by more.....
does anyone think dublin can put up some sort of fight against waterford?

Dublin will do well to stay within 10 points of Waterford i'm sorry to say. We may have the players back but i think the lack of inter-county hurling is showing for some of the lads, and that waterford forward 6 looks very very dangerious! they've got to be top 3 or 4 teams in the country at the moment. i think Dublin could ask Offaly a few difficult questions and failing that the relegation play off should be interesting! :eek:

Flukey

Another disappointing result, but there is hope in the form of the minors.

Lads, in all fairness, we slaughtered ye yesterday. I mean, how can a team get only 4 scores over 70 mins against a team with one of the worst full back lines ever? At least ye have the minors.

Are teams going to be seeded in the QFs?
i.e
Cork v Group 1 Runner Up
KK v Group 2 Runner Up
Tipp v Group 2 Winners
Wex v Group 1 Winners

Or will it be an open draw with stipulations i.e. Cork can't play Waterford or Tipp

Group runners-up play provincial winners and group winners play provincial runners-up. Not sure if teams who've played each other before will be kept apart. That mightn't be possible anyway - for example, if Limerick and Clare win the groups, they've both played Tipp already.

If possible teams that have met already will be kept apart.
