Limerick are the only county to survive all 4 editions of the round robin to date
Limerick are certs bar an injury crisis for top 3, can't see Waterford improving enough from last year, nothing between Cork, Clare and Tipp. Tipp v Clare in round 5 could a winner takes all game.
Getting supporters to go to matches has to be top priority for the teams. Went to most games last 2 years and our support was disgraceful. Slippery slope!
But an All Ireland Semi or Munster Final would be a very successful year & something to be aiming for.
I think it’ll be a great year hurling wise, very little between most teams & i expect a lot of close games.
I don't think there's a way back to that team? A lot of players have moved on, no?
Support might be disgraceful, the quality of their football was even worse . Watched the Down match in Semple last year , if Tipp actually tried to play FOOTBALL instead of a very complicated game of go anywhere but towards the opposition goal , then they might have been able to take on Down
Sorry meant supporter’s for our hurler’s.
Agree with the football, tactic seems to be to bore the opposition to submission.
Never heard of that tactic, but sounds good

Senior Hurling Challenge.
Tipperary v Limerick
All proceeds to the Dillon Quirke Foundation
3 commercials lads not going back at all.
Colman Kennedy, Liam McGrath, and Kevin Fahy have stepped off the panel. Michael O’Reilly is off travelling.
....
Did Alan Flynn get a call up to the panel this year after his comments ?
Near enough to fifty players, probably more, looked at so far in different challenge games. From what I’ve seen, Flynn hasn’t been one. Only Breen around his age in the above match panel. And of the players left around Flynn’s age or older, he hasn’t reached their level for me. Maybe he is in there training or with one of the hubs but I haven’t heard of it if he is.
In fairness he hasn’t really produced anything of note in a Tipp jersey to date so I'd say managers have seen enough.
Happy eightieth to Len Gaynor. To a great extent, the three-time All-Ireland winner is Mr Tipperary, his vast influence is woven into many of the threads of Tipp hurling. One of the best team-mates Babs Keating ever had. A clubmate and mentor of Eamon O’Shea. His son is a Kilruane legend. His daughter a multiple all Ireland winner with Tipp. He’s the manager who recalled Liam Sheedy and handed him his championship debut. A pivotal coach to Tommy Dunne, Declan Ryan, Colm Bonnar and Brendan Cummins. He was manager when Cahill joined the panel and is now his father-in-law.
Len played a huge and under appreciated role in the rise of Clare in the 90's as well, laid some serious foundations in his time there.
Jez, thats a few big players we could do with
Kuba gone to the Lebanon too

Shocking stuff from fixtures people to play the thurles cbs schools game in the absolute sh1te conditions in killmallock . Someone must have known te state of the place. The second semi is being played on a perfect surface . Kiĺmallock should be embarrassed not to have reported the state of their field when the fixture was announced. Disappointing for both sides to endure this nonsense
Agreed, was an absolute disgrace.
Thurles really should have won that one.
...
Cheers, just bought one now, can't make the game.
Some craic in MacDonagh Park this morning
Jersey is class, please support if possible.
League Squad
