    Congrats Limerick but made hard work of it

    Semis
    Derry vs Kilkenny
    Limerick vs Galway

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

    A woeful display from the Ref. Worst I've seen in a long time.

    Limerick certainly the better team, but didn't play well. Seems a poor U-21 Grade this year, most matches have been of very limited quality.

    Powder puff game between Limerick & Cork.. no intensity.. Limerick just about deserved to win, Cork had enough possession but weren't able to capitalise..
    Referee gave a lot to Limerick.. don't think I'll travel to watch the remaining game/games live...

    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.

    And when they do they are lambasted, its the inconsistency thats the issue.

    That's probably what Wexford thought back in the AI semi-final in 2013 when they were playing Antrim...

    Double header in Thurles on August 19th. Very unfair on Derry but seems to be common practice in recent years

    Why is it very unfair on Derry? Would have thought thurles would be a stadium any aspiring hurling team would love to play in. Better than playing in Parnell Park, Tullamore or another neutral pitch inbetween!

    Derry actually wanted to play in Thurles and will be travelling the day before.

    delighted for Derry getting to play in Thurles

    game is one sided but at least they give hurling a go up there, and do quite well considering how few clubs they have

    This is going to be a massacre something has to be done about this

    Id put the Ulster champions into the B championship. Munster and Leinster champs into the semis. QF1 Munster losing finalists vs Leinster losing finalists (winner into semis). QF2 QF1 loser vs Galway (winner into Semis)

    5-06 to 0-03. Only 22 minutes gone.
    KK already emptying the bench.

    I'd wager that Derry (and all other Ulster teams) would find it difficult in the B championship. This sort of tanking doesn't do either team any good.

    KK have missed two absolute sitters so they could very well have 7 goals.

    I can't understand why they don't do opendraw at u21 level. Is it any wonder Galway have so many titles getting straight to a semi each year. Put Cork or Tipp in the same position year in year out and they'd have much more u21 titles than they currently do. Derry v kk at the moment is a joke.

    Eddie Brennan should be telling kk forwards at half time to tap the ball over the bar in second half. No point in destroying Derry, it's hard enough for hurling to survive up there I'd say

    Brennan was visibly annoyed when Cats missed a point chance when 19 ahead! Do you seriously think he will be telling them to take it easy? Players are playing for a place in an AI final. Why should they hold back? The disgraceful neglect of hurling in Ulster is not the responsibility of some young fella from Bennetsbridge.

    Anyway, it is surely time to exclude Ulster from the main underage competitions. An open draw at least needs to be introduced to deal with the glaring mismatches and anomalies we see every year.

    I would imagine that either of the Meath & Kerry teams who played in the match before this in the U21B semi-final would think they would do a better job than Derry against KK.

    Some of the Derry lads are striking the ball like u12s. Absolutely brutal. Something has to be done to the system in place.

    100% agree it's the fault of the format, shows how ridiculous it is

    Not the fault of a young lad from Bennettsbridge at all. But destroying a team for the sake of it is belittling
