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

Galway young lads have revitalised them. Everyone talks about niland and rabbitte but darragh neary has been a massive find. Ronan glennon brilliant as an attacking corner back. Whelan looks to have a new lease of life

I believe but could be wrong that the rule just says goal scoring opportunity and that was one.

I filled out that survey they were talking about and one of my main points was hurling needs a bigger penalty box than football..

I also said Clare should be disbanded 🤣

That is the tactic which beat Galway in Salthill. Galway were the much better team in that game but threw it away with awful shooting, and even then it was lost just in injury time

Thought ye had a great chance at 6pts down, man up, 10min to go. Maybe the injuries etc but got well beaten then.

Dublin saved the Leinster hurling championship by guaranteeing we'd have a final with a new winner for the first time in a while.

So considerations to them but they didn't perform at all. So they'll play Clare in a quarter final? That should be a tasty affair.

Am I right in saying if Offaly had of held on and beaten KK it would have been an Offaly Dublin final?

Sorry I mixed things up. Wexford would have had to beat Galway aswell.

They did play some great stuff but at times had nearly 14 men in their own half,hurling as a spectacle now is a hard watch. Dublin scored 4-15,yet were still hammered

Fine win for Galway but Leinster was even more poor than usual this year. They'll most likely be playing the losers between ourselves and Limerick later on in the semi final, so it will be interesting to see how they go there.

People were blowing and hyping that Dublin team up but i always felt they'd flatter to deceive. Dublin hurling has never really built on the relative success of the Anthony Daly era.

that match last nite was truly awful.hurling is in big trouble as it’s now what football was before the frc got involved and changed rules.

The great game of even 15 yrs ago when tipp and kk went at it is now rugby with sticks.watching Galway’s tactics of a packed defence and 2 up front with acres of space and a clueless dubs just with one tactic of lumping it up to hedgo and if that failed just rinse and repeat.

Balls thrown the whole time and the spare arm tackle are a blight on the great game.

Well we can all have our day on the future of hurling, bottom of this article you can state what you feel is wrong with the game and how it can be improved.

It also has a few interesting questions around playing through sliotar back to the keeping, pick out distance etc

Niland, Rabbitte from this year's u20, plus Neary, Joshua Ryan, Rory Burke, Killeen. Cian Daniels would be a new player, but never played under age for Galway.

There's 2 other lads from the 20s in the senior panel, but they wont play this year imo (Culleen Killeen - best midfield prospect Galway have had in a few years, and Sean Murphy).

Tbf to Donoghue, a fair change in the panel in the space of 12 months. Already, atm, this year has been a big improvement for Galway on the last few years. Staying up in the league, when they'd have been one of the favourites for relegation, and winning Leinster. Hopefully, they give a good account of themselves in the semi final. They'll be underdogs in that match.

The latest article i read it was on RTE. The same article said Cork and Limerick never contested an AI final....

There was supporters at the 2021 Munster final
