All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2026 (Munster & Leinster Championships, Liam McCarthy Cup)

Limerick didnt win all of the round robin matches in any of those years, had to overcome setbacks each year.

Id say we had a good spread of scorers yerterday. O Neill got 4, Casey, O Connor and O Brien 3 each from play, Hegarty and English and Byrnes 2 each…we are lacking in forward subs. Some very inexperienced players on the bench

Ennis will be a serious match. Id say both teams are under the same pressure to get a result, given Limerick have probably played their hardest game and Clare their most winnable.

At the point it's the same manager, most of the same backroom team and the majority of players especially the strongest ones are the same people. Pretty obvious really.

I thought James owens had a good game yesterday. Red card was correct, but booking quaid after the connoly goal for an accidental collision was silly. Just a coming together with 2 player's running towards each other.

Mad how so few frees considering the intensity these 2 teams bring.

It's great to have DOD back. Gets through a mountain of work. That charge up the field that won the free which Byrnes scored the goal showed the physicality, drive and leadership he brings to the fold

Wexford have been poor at underage for quite a while, you won't magic up a good senior side without at least some underage successes. Kildare seem to have put good structures in place and are reaping the benefits, with a good population if the interest is there they could get stronger.

Mixed, I thought. Card was an excellent and decisive decision. In general, it wasnt a filthy game.

But he and his linesmen missed a lot of infringement from Cork in the tackle - double wrap on Hayes in front of the linesman in second half, with ref looking on. Coughed up ball, and attack for Limk turn into scramble defence.

Continual jersey pulling - by both.

Card on Nicky - seriously.

Some players go down awful easy - maybe of Hego and Hayes did we might get more frees.

Are you suggesting Quaid shouldn't have got a card?

You also didnt mention the debateable red Casey could have gotten (possibly would if Lynch hadnt already).

I think we can all be guilty of tunnel vision when it comes to our own county but this is crazy analysis.

Casey was a borderline red. Fitz was in a vulnerable and Casey lined him up and laid him out. If GAA had VAR its a red. There is no effort to play the ball. You think it wasn't a free? Christ!

Quaid was awkward, slow motion camera isn't his friend but, the ball was well gone over his head before he hit Connolly. It was a yellow alright but probably falls into his misplaced momentum carried him into the tackle.

I was at the game- from my vantage point on the SOD/SOB incident. DOD won a questionable free (in the overall context of what had been given to both teams on the day). SOB totally blindsided SOD with a hit and SOD reacted. 2 yellows alright but centering the free for Limerick was nonsense.

Have a look at English on Barry Walsh 34th min- Raised elbow into the chin. Totally needless and again in a VAR scenario its a borderline red!

If you think Quaid deserved a card or O'Brien blindsided a man who started the fight you are either on the wind up or as you day have tunnel vision.

The free was moved in though because of the Cork player who started a fight and the 5 who followed him in on O'Brien.

Limerick we're lucky to beaten by only 2 points.. Cork will be disappointed not yo have won by more.. Joyce is now out for the year.. a sickening blow to Cork... he is a fabulous hurler

CCasey Foul on fitz definitely free.. what he did was worse than lynch..

Have lynch and mahony some sort of history? They are always tangling

How can you say, that jabbing a lad twice with the hurl whilst also holding that players hurl doesn't warrant a red. We have to have some sense in what we're saying if we want to criticise refs. Casey was borderline, lucky he made contact with the upper chest and not the chin or head or he's joining Lynch.

O'Brien should not have been booked for his incident with O'Donoghue.

I still think Limerick win if they meet in the Munster final and Gillane is back. They're a much lesser team when he's unavailable.

It's a very fringe opinion so I doubt many reds will lose sleep over it. People have overwhelmingly agreed with the red.

In all fairness Mahoney went down like he was shot.. he got a couple jabs into the thigh.. twas stupid by Lynch a man with 5 all ireland medals multiple allstars and hurler of the year awards to give the digs but to send him off was ridiculous..

now if he had jabbed mahoney into the face then yes a red.. but the thigh.. come on lads this isn't bingo we're playing..

Tis a good job Owens wasn't around in the late 90's when Clare & Tipp were going at it.. the Lohans John Leahy Paul Shelly etc wouldn't have lasted long on the field
