The only issue I have with the grid is that it doesn't take into account the likes of Limerick City where rugby is the main sport. While many great hurling supporters come from the city it's really the Western division that form the backbone of Limerick support. How come Ennis has such a poor hurling culture in comparison to similar sized towns in other parts of the country?

Looking at the two teams on paper it’s hard to see us taking Galway but there’s never much in a local derby like this and don’t forget we weren’t given a chance in the quarter or semi finals in ‘13! Up the banner! Safe travelling to all making the journey tomorrow!

The bet for me is the "Red Card" market, I can't see how the Galway backs are going to cope with the Clare forwards without fouling them, they are going to be picking up yellow cards for fun. WE ARE GOING TO DO IT.

To come back from 9 points down against the all ireland champs was so impressive and every time they pulled away again we were able to drag it back again and again. Unbelievable effort. Strange one as every player put in a huge effort and contributed positively to the outcome but pretty much every player made a silly mistake. We gifted them so many scores and had to work ridiculously hard for ours. Even things like John Conlon dropping a few high balls which he looked like he had in his hand. Plenty more to analyze and discuss but leave that for the rest of the week. Those duggan and SOD points

I know, I just had to laugh at the guy who picked the least of the 4 Limerick hurling divisions as the strongest. Even the football folk from Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale, Athea, Askeaton, Foynes and Glin will all follow the hurlers too in thick or thin. Likewise you have Adare, Granagh, Feoghanagh, Knockaderry and other strong hurling clubs in the west. City has always been a hurling stronghold just took a dip when a couple of the urban clubs fell out of senior. Patrickswell, Kildimo/Pkenry and Ballybrown arent really city clubs even though they play in the division - similar to Ahane or South Liberties from the East bordering on the city area. Na Piarsaigh more than make up for a revival in the urban area covering the entire North side of the city. Presume Monaleen are now the big city club in the east side of the city and Mungret/St Pauls in the West side. Limerick City area has always been a multi sport area with hurling, soccer, football and rugby. Still think hurling is and always been the number 1 sport in Limerick city and county as a whole.
