I'd probably go along with that team Mountainlad put up. Still question marks over Kelly but we'll badly need players in the half forward line that will have to put in a shift and at least try minimise the Tipp half back line's dominance on the game.
It's hard to see Tipp not scoring at least 2 or 3 goals so I think we'll need a few ourselves.

But will Waterford get any though?

No, we're going to lose by 100 points and then the world will end!

Im hoping to god that Waterford wont get a severe hammering from Tipp, could be a draw, lose the game by a couple of points or Waterford win!!

That's a fair range of possibilities

I don't think we're going to get hammered but it could be like 2009.

Or the AI Final 2008, i have a fear of that kind of beating happening to Waterford again by Tipp, they were ruthless at times against Clare yesterday, Lar Corbett cant be getting the space he got yesterday!! He will punish any team when he goes on a run to goal.

Yeah Waterford County Board have approached tipp with an offer to hold the game in thurles for a considerable financial exchange

Money might be needed before the year is out.

I hope it is in Thurles... But tickets will be printed soon so there wont be much time to put the idea forward ot the Munster Council will there?

Its in Cork, has been fixed there with a while, was talking to a fellow involved in the arrangements a few times in the past week.

So more money is going to spent by the County Board? And they supposed to be having money problems?

Anyone have any idea how much money is involved to have the game in Thurles?

Madness to just change from venue to another!!

Mountainlad · 20-06-2011 05:59PM

Would Tipp not be paying Waterford?

Yeah, at the same time you have to remember it was Division 2 opposition. I know we were lucky to beat Limerick but they bet Clare and were riding the crest of a wave. Clare didn't have the same cause for optimism, and thought they played quite well first half they faded completely second half.

Tipp will not hammer us (10 points or more), don't be worrying about that.

why were they planning when we didnt know the finalists untill yesterday??

And €100,000 is more than double what Tipp are compensating Waterford with, its a done deal just needs to be cleared with the munster council

Well they knew it was going to be two of three teams and neither of them would be Cork so I can see how they could plan it but I really hope you're right about it being changed to Thurles.

The Division two thing with Limerick makes me laugh. They only played in division two this year because of what happened in Limerick in 2010, when they had was in effect a third team even if it was a third team in the league, and after that in the championship. Its probably fair to say that they played there this year as a division one team. They were always going to come out of that division this year.

The Munster Final is in Cork, barring that the Munster Council switch it at a late stage, something Frank Murphy and co in Cork will not be happy about if it was.

Really? I seem to remember them been very fortunate to win in Ennis and they were certainly not ''always going to come out of that division''

Ya, thought all that home and away craic was done away with. Much prefer it be in cork anyway. I think it would suit us more than Tipp

STIG83 · 20-06-2011 08:14PM

I think people's problem with having the Munster Final in Cork is getting there, i said in an earlier post it's a lot easier to get to Cork now since Youghal Bypass was built.
If it does go ahead in Cork, just put up with it for a day!!

Getting to Cork has never been a problem, it's getting out of Cork after a game in Páirc Uí Caoimh. Nightmare.

Daysha · 20-06-2011 08:37PM

In some respects a change of scenery would be nice. We've only played 1 Munster Championship game outside Thurles in the last 5 years. It'd just be nice if that scenery wasn't a complete dump and took 4 hours to get away from it when it's over.

The only time there is a home and away arrangement in the Munster hurling final from now on according to some law made by the Munster Council earlier this year or the end of last year is if Limerick, Cork or Tipperary were playing each other. Of course this could change next year when Kerry come back into the Munster Championship. I know, its unlikely.

Gradster1 · 20-06-2011 09:18PM

waterford minor team v limerick as follows, paddy cooke, jamie barron, damien ahearne, colin walsh, stephen o neil, shane roche, ray barry, shane mc nulty, gavin o brien, jake dillon, adam o sullivan, cein chester, darragh flynn stephen bennet

Two changes to the team v Tipp, Gavin O'Brien and Shane McNulty come in for Jim Power and Chris Kervick. A few positional changes as well.

Cake Man · 20-06-2011 10:25PM

Chris Kervick was the captain for the Tipp game, wonder who will be captain on Saturday now that he's not starting. Good to see Gavin O'Brien back, he played well for Roanmore yesterday in senior championship against Dungarvan. Best of luck to the lads,would be great for another minor/senior double for the third year running.

Daysha · 20-06-2011 10:36PM

Wayne Hutchinson has just said on Twitter he's out of the final. Waiting for more info...
