    Brilliant game and great that Cork won. Limerick winning again would be no good for the sport.

    I'm sorry but this is a hurling forum. My politics ought to be no concern of yours. You keep your jihad support for the politics forum.

    Oh how I wish the powers that be broadcast that match instead of the Euro final across Europe.

    Put the final back a day and show the hurling in the original prime time slot.

    It would surely catch the imagination of a whole continent, a far superior product than the boring soccer served up at the Euros - what an advertisement for the game of hurling today was !!

    I am on a “high” from going through that today and I am a neutral!!

    Guess that puts an end to the debate, Kilkenny 06-09 were the greatest team of all time

    Maybe I'm being overly critical but that goal chance he pulled on was a terrible decision. He must of known he had acres behind him and was so far ahead of Quaid all he needed to do was pick and round him.

    I dunno. Easy from the stand. But I thought if that cost them it would be a killer.

    Brilliant win for Cork but I'd still give Clare every chance in the final. They need to find a renewed aggression as their last few games were very passive but they have the tools to hurt Cork. Cork were wide open at the back in the first half but Limericks reluctance to push for goals meant they weren't really punished but Clare are a different animal and give them a sniff of goal and they'll go for it. O'Donnell has goal on his mind if he even turns the defender inside the 45 and they have no fear of Cork. Could be a cracking final

    There's 6 years of bitterness coming out!

    Great game. Limerick didn't play to their usual high standard, but that could have been due to the Cork pressure which barely stopped throughout. Cork deserve the win, they just played better.

    Sad to see the drive for 5 end, but no team has managed that so even though it would have been nice, Limerick are still only the third team to do 4 in a row. They're still the only team to have ever done 6 provencials in a row. They have the second longest win streak in championship hurling if I'm not mistaken. A legendary team that have given all and more to us Limerick folk, and we couldn't be prouder. Let's go for 7 provincials and start a new drive for 5 next year.

    Absolutely no idea who to shout for in 2 weeks. I think Cork would be easier to take as winners than Clare. They're a bit further away...

    Cork won't have any fear of Clare either which makes it an interesting final. If Clare win then they can thank Cork for defeating the team they failed to beat on so many occasions.

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Best joke I've heard all day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,655 ✭✭✭endainoz


    How did it go last time they played each other?

    Cork couldnt play like that in previous years because they didnt have anyone in the half forward line that could win aerial ball.

    They havent really had a target man for a long time but thankfully that seems to have changed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,488 ✭✭✭big_drive


    1-23 from starting forwards with each scoring 0-3 or more, that's crazy level of return



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,903 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    if Cork had taken their goal chances in the first half they would have been out of sight.

    Cork played a large part of the match with 14 men too.

    It will be a tough game but I think Cork have the measure of Clare, who were poor yesterday.

    If Cork keep Shane O Donnell quiet Id be confident.

    How much were the tickets they said?

    Priceless I said !!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,655 ✭✭✭endainoz


    Very tight game to call, but the two best teams this year are in the final and rightfully so. I won't make a prediction because I genuinely think its too close to call. It could have easily gone either way the last time they met, but it should be a cracker of a final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 538 ✭✭✭Dont Be at It


    I'm glad Limerick are gone but not sure you can say that now. Limerick cleaned Clare in the munster final. If Limerick played cork 10 times they'd probably win 7 or 8 times but that's the beauty of knock out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    Beating Limerick twice in one season is some statement from Cork.
    Limerick won 6 Munsters in a row. An incredible achievement



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,655 ✭✭✭endainoz


    Not much of a gambler tbh, maybe one or two bets a year. Happy to show you my history to back it up. Can't remember the last time a backed a GAA match, literally years ago. Just saw a nice bet and happily it came in. Thanks for your concern all the same, problem gambling is a serious issue these days.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭Seadin


    But they only played Cork twice and lost both times. Who is to say they would lose all 10 games to Cork?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,459 ✭✭✭Straight Talker


    @gormdubhgorm I can't quote posts on Boards.ie on the phone for some reason, but i was confident enough that there was a huge performance in us. Thankfully it was enough to get the win.

    Neither ourselves or Clare have any interest in second place! We'll work it out between ourselves in two weeks time as to who the best team in Ireland for 2024 is!

    Limerick are a great team but Kilkenny under Cody are still the greatest hurling team in my lifetime anyway.

    That's fair 🤣. It's subjective but I'd still have Clare and Cork a bit behind Limerick.

    On a different topic... It was great to see a throwback to a goalie lorrying long ball down on top of the half forwards all day long. You'd almost forget what it was like. And I think Limerick might have as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,897 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    Cork had to play the game of their life's to win today while Limerick had to be a little below par. Fair play to them in winning and I don't think any hurling fan apart from Clare people would begrudge seeing Hoggie lift the Liam McCarthy in 2 weeks time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,153 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    To be fair you don't have to go back very far, you could have seen the same thing yesterday, kk did it the whole second half and got cleaned out. I actually thought limerick had started to figure out the cork puckouts in the last fifteen mins and were starting to win a lot of ball off it, fair play to Cork they stuck with it and didn't panic when it looked like they might get pegged back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭cosatron


    In the first game, cork highlighted Byrnes and hannon lack of pace and I found it hard to believe that kiely and kinnerk did nothing to counter act it prior to or during the game only when they were down did he move hayes into centerback and finally got a grip in this area and starting to rile them in. Fair play to corks fitness level.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭spurshero


    did they have to play there other game of there life when they beat limerick a month ago or so as well …. I would look at it as Limerick had 2 chances to knock cork out and they couldn’t . And that’s coming from a galway man



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,355 ✭✭✭C__MC


    Some game

    Limerick will rue those late misses



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,459 ✭✭✭Straight Talker


    Commiserations to Limerick though. Their fans suffered a lot of heartbreak over the years, but my god the success they have enjoyed since 2018 has more than made up for that! The ghosts of 1994 and 1996 have been well and truly laid to rest now!

    Today was our day though and we deserved that. Neither ourselves or Clare will have any fears of each other in the final either.

    As the Aussies would say it should be a ripper of a game! Oh and one last word for Kyle Hayes. No five in a row for you you blackguard!

    That game is PuC was one of the most amazing games I was ever at in terms od atmosphere and drama. Both of these games actually were "game of their lives" games.

    Easily the two best games I have ever been at where I lost.

    A lot of talk about how Clare won't fear Cork but we won't fear them either!

    I think if we can stop Clare from scoring goals then we'll win. In fairness both teams are very strong up front in the forwards i think.

    It should be a very open and entertaining final anyway just like both games in 2013.
