All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2023 ( Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

In 2006 we were bombarded with how professional and skillful the Cork team was, supposed to be. O'Grady had adopted the Newtownshandrum style of hurling and it has headed Cork win tities. Cody devised a plan to demolish that style. Cork didn't know what hit them on Final day when through immense work rate, Kilkenny hounded Cork out of it and curtailed their running game. Cork are striving to win the title since.

Work rate is not equal to physicality. And by the way, Kilkenny had more skillful hurlers at that time, and since, than Cork.

Admission for opening provincial championship games:

Connacht stand €30, terrace €25

Leinster stand €20, terrace €15

Ulster terrace £15

Munster general admission €15

Tis. But it's cheaper than the league, I think. And it will be interesting to compare with the hurling prices.

There set by provincial councils rather than croke park same way counties set their own prices for club games, their was 1 county last year where the county final was €20 and the stream was €25, another county charged €15 and the final was live on tg4.

I think Tipperary's alphabetical naming of teams for the weekend is very childish.

Where you from? Kilkenny?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ght.

No Clare v Tipp game live on free to air tv on Sunday which is disappointing. Game of the weekend for me. I feel whoever loses this game is not going to make it out of Munster. Hard one to call but home advantage swings it for me.

It's very tight but I feel like Clare will find themselves under a lot of pressure to live up to last year whereas Tipp look to be coming in strong with a bit of nothing to lose.

Both teams look the same on paper so I think these little things will swing it.

Draw between Antrim and Dublin. 1-19 apiece.

Wasn't their league the same. Lots of almost big wins ?

The Galway v Wexford game sounds good on RTE radio. Lots of heavy hitting and Wexford with the aid of two early goals and the breeze lead by 2-4 to 0-6 after approx 25 mins.

Matches always sound better on the radio i suppose. Is it on GAA GO? I won't be subscribing to that. The radio is going to have to suffice for a lot of games this year.
