Yet he didnt even play until his prime, he was ridiculously good yet he was gone before we saw the best of him. He should still be doing the business for Kilkenny for another few years. Thats why i said he was hurler of the year material

JesusRef wrote: » No problem with a guy wanting to do something different but that = wasting his hurling ability. You cant say one without the other. If Austin Gleeson was dropping off the team at 24/25 and was not play at all at 30 would yiu say he got the most out of himself? Of course you couldnt Cha is still only 31 ffs[/QUOT Agreed.but cha probably felt he got the most out of himself playing a game he obviously wasnt enjoying anymore. agree to disagree. Fair play to lismore

Fair play to them they didn't stand back from Thurles and went at them especially their full back line which they knew was there for the taking, ending up with four goals. They even recovered from another terrible decision by Kirwan to gift Paudie Maher a goal in extra time to come back and win. Tony Kelly is some player.

I see Carrickshock won the intermediate in Kilkenny after being down intermediate for just one year. They have some serious players with the Power's, Tennynson, Michael Rice, John Dalton. Imagine they'll be favourites to win the AI.

Padraig Maher's arm around Browne's neck was a yellow card offence which should have meant a sending off as he had already been carded. Instead he was allowed to score the equalising goal. Fair dues to Ballyea for coming back to win. Like last week, Sarsfields faded in the closing stages of the regular game. They managed to survive last week but not this week. Ballygunner, in my view, threw away a Munster championship this year, but it wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
Deise Gael wrote: » Don't know what match you were watching. Jack Browne caught the ball took about two steps before Maher clothes lines him. Brown then tries to spiral out of the foul to get free of Maher's hurley. Maher keeps the hurley around his neck and drags him to the ground. At least a free out and a yellow for a high tackle. Kirwan was a few feet away watching this. He's just a brutal ref full stop. How he's still getting games is beyond me. He also missed a filthy stroke on Lar Corbett just before the end of normal time that should have been another yellow.

Ballinacourty not helped with Richie foley been sent off after 22 minutes. Tom o Gorman held Gary hurney scoreless and done the same to Paul White last week.

DiscoStew wrote: » Browne 100% played for the free. Held onto Mahers arm after ducking into the tackle to try and engineer a free out. Dragged Maher down to the ground as he still held his arm as he flung himself to the ground to win a free. People here correctly praised the referee in the Ballygunner Thurles game for pulling Brian O'Sullivan up on a similar incident as well as in the county final. Nothing different here other than that it's unusual to see a defender try it and he was badly caught out. Good call from the referee!
