National Hurling Leagues 2026

Limerick would be aiming to get to the final. They have a bye in the first round of the championship.

When did Galway last put up a score like this?

Not sure what was worse, Joyce's dive at a tip on the helmet (exactly what his manager was complaining about a few weeks back) or Nash and Lynch's subsequent high five

I have great respect for Kilkenny hurling, but right now this is the weakest Kilkenny team since the 1998 pre Cody era version.

Although at least that Cats team had players like the now disgraced DJ Carey, Charlie Carter, Andy Comerford, Brian McEvoy, PJ Delaney, Michael Kavanagh and Willie O'Connor in it.

How many of the current Cats team would get into the starting 15 of the 1998 version for example?

You just know that Stack is such a disciplinarian that he walks around lunch break at school dishing out yellow cards

Cracking match.

Pity the ref isn't up to it. Cork getting away with a lot of over carrying and persistent fouling off the ball

I don't mean to sound like the Kerry crowd when they hype us up and blow steam up our backsides in football, but i'd have Galway as favourites to win Leinster now.

Corks new gameplan is persistent fouling it seems
