    The pitch looked very patchy and uneven. The grass looked too long in some parts. Maybe it was just me though and I'm being overly critical :confused:

    Frightening performance when you think about the amount of goals Limerick left on the field.

    Clare are coming back into it now but I still expect Limerick to win. 40 minutes gone, 1-16 to 1-10.

    One observation is that the pitch is in fairly poor condition for the time of year. Especially compared to the likes of Semple Stadium and Nowlan Park.

    Have to agree with dastardly here and said as much in the Clare thread, the pitch looked awful last night, its not the best of pitches in any case but last night it looked like there was patches where no grass had grown at all and to compensate they hadn't cut the grass and just rolled it.

    Waterford really threw that one away this evening. Had two or three scoreable chances in the last couple of minutes. When the Cork lad got the red, it seemed like the Waterford players thought it was all over. Keeper pucks it straight to a Cork player and all of a sudden Cork had 3 or 4 spare men over in the forward line.

    Antrim beaten for the first time in 9 years in the Ulster U21 championship. Hurling in Antrim really seems to be hitting rock bottom recently.
    Presume that the winners of Derry and Down will go into the U21 All Ireland series?

    Yeah and then they have the easy task of facing Kilkenny while Galway and the winners of Limerick and Cork face off

    To be fair, Derry are starting to put bit of effort into hurling up there, a few of their regional teams have played in similar level type competitions against other counties fairly regularly enough at underage. If you're putting in the effort, you'll get rewards.

    Might be a good thing long term if Derry start coming strong, a rivalry might force Antrim to up their game a bit.

    Fair play to Derry, great win for them. Great work going on up there for sure and a great hurling stronghold in Dungiven hurling club.

    Reckon Limerick will win by 5 pts tonight

    Very much looking like a Kilkenny vs Limerick final this year but Galway could surprise Limerick (or Cork if they win)

    With the way the Kilkenny intermediates celebrated winning the farce of the Al intermediate championship id say the county will go mad if they won the Under 21 AI title

    I don't think anybody in Kilkenny would have gone over the top with this trophy.

    Rain will be a leveller. Plus the fact that it is decent enough Cork team and their tails are collectively up. Looking forward to it, and reckon Limerick probably win, but it will be closer than predicted.

    Strange that Limerick are playing with a sweeper despite having the wind.

    Awful defending by the corner back there to allow the forward turn back inside onto his right.

    I think refs have given up on blowing for steps and throwing the ball, all counties getting away with it. Seriously needs to be addressed.

    Yes, that was a correct decision but frees not given in that match where similar or more steps were taken so on that basis he was unlucky

    Poor stuff in the second half, hasn't really got going. Limerick seem to be masters of the hospital pass.

    I'm biased but yeah imo. Like i said, limerick will win this anyway. Our touch is poor and our forwards are struggling to win much ball.

    The ref may aswell throw on a green jersey. Cork playing against 16.

    You're being biased enough there, some stupid fouls from Cork where they should know better

    Hes out for Declan Dalton. Im not being biased at all. The standard of reffing is shocking.

    Would be shocked if Limerick won the all Ireland, extremely average. Don't think they've scored from play in the second half.

    Are Galway not playing Kilkenny or is that in the minor?
