All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

Limerick couldnt beat Cork on their own back yard when it mattered and Cork missing a few players to come back in. I fancy Kilkenny to knock Limerick out to be honest. I think Cork will open up Limerick more in Croke Park with their speed and pace. Limerick set up suits Cork. We know we can match ye. Three weeks ago was a dummy game which meant nothing. I be more wary of Kilkenny.

Did you analyse all the Cork chances while you were at it? We had more shots and chances than Limerick. If we converted a fraction of them we be out of sight. Also Ref gave Limerick all the 50/50 calls. Some Cork players had to be wrestled to the ground and still got nothing. Walsh is a **** referee it has to be said.

I agree with you. I think they have their best day and they are better than anyone else out there and it's not even close. They have handed out some awful batterings to everyone in the championship in the last few years, and any defeat they have suffered is by the slimmest of margins.

If the motivation is still as strong as it was when they were racking up titles they will win it again. The Cork sing-song video may help them.

Anything can happen from here on in! KK could beat Limerick, imagine the motivation of the Tipp team if they were to meet Cork in a semi final! Galway could decide to just go out and play hurling instead of swamping themselves in tactics! Dublin could bust a gut against Limerick. It’s wide open and in an amateur game, the right motivation is everything.

Think he let a lot go for both. Cork denied 2 certain frees b4 half time while cian Lynch got some tough treatment as well. Both sides as you say missed opportunities. Limerick had some poor ones from English, casey and Nash. Hoggie had a couple of wides he'd normally score.

I think croke park suits cork with their speed and direct running but limerick have a great record there too. Still I wouldn't be talking about a cork limerick final yet. Plenty more twists and turns.

Ennis? Too small?

You have to laugh at this line of thinking. A dummy game a few weeks ago! It was a game that qualified Limerick for the All Ireland series and meant Cork had to go into a make or break game vs Waterford. A game they made very hard work of . What a load of utter nonsense saying it was a dummy game. You'll be telling me next that the day Limerick beat Cork in the round robin in 2023 was a dummy game.

I expect Limerick to beat Dublin and then come through a huge battle against Kilkenny. If they play Cork in the final, Limerick will win. They are simply a far better hurling team all round. Cork defensively are still soft as sh*te.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a Limerick Tipp All Ireland final though, that Cork team can be got at and Tipp will fancy putting up a big score against them. It's just a case of whether Tipp are good enough defensively. I'm dismissing Galway based on that anaemic display yesterday.

He passed it in my mind and I love Daragh hes a warrior but he bottled that!

Definitely looked like he was trying to pass it. He was hesitant in that moment and you knew by his reaction afterwards he made the wrong split second decision. With so little time on the ball in the modern game, things like that will happen. We have just come not to expect it from Limerick who have been the benchmark of composure in those situations the last 5/6 years.

You are totally undermining Corks effort at the weekend in Limericks home ground. They were supposed to annihilate Cork out the park again but it didn't happen and all of a sudden you have alot of the anti Cork brigade out here saying they will destroy Cork if they meet again. Let's see. Cork won't fear Limerick and Limerick will still find it hard to beat Cork. Cork had more shots than Limerick last day out, missed more than Limerick and Limerick first led the game in the 69th min of normal time. You had everything in your favour and you didn't get over the line. What makes you so unsure that Limerick will beat Cork next time out?

Galway support is always terrible. In recent times, Tipp too.

Limerick played below their capabilities at the weekend. The likes of key men such as Lynch, Hayes and Hegarty weren't at their best. When Limerick are performing at their best, I can't see how Cork would beat them. Also the match on Saturday was a draw.

Any idea why they, Hayes in particular, weren't at their best? Could Cork have had a role in it perhaps?

Cork might even stop their own 20 in a row of years without an all ireland.

Or maybe they'll capitulate by 16 points in a final again.....hard to know with this team.
