    Am I right in thinking that draw is not good for us. Means we have to win the three games pretty much. A cork win might have given us some hopes of two wins taking us through

    There's a few ways of looking at it but all arguments considered I think it's a bad result for Waterford. A win for Cork probably would have been best for Waterford as it would mean they'd have qualified for the Munster Final before playing Waterford. Now they will have to win that game to ensure qualification and will have a week's rest beforehand. Win lose or draw, Limerick would be looking to win against Waterford anyway to qualify for the next stage. This result doesn't really change that.

    It could be argued in Waterford's favour that the draw keeps the points' totals of both counties down and makes it easier to catch them. But the downside of this is that it makes points difference more likely to matter which means that Waterford probably need to win by a big margin tomorrow as their points difference is poor after the first game.

    Well one things for certain after today's results...we can't be relegated to the McDonagh cup for next season anyway.

    This whole systems annoys me

    The big 4 Leinster teams have 2pts on the board when they play Offaly/Mcdonagh cup winners (when they come up from 2019 on) and Munster is dog eat dog every week. Scrap the Prov and have 2 groups of 6 with 3x Munster and 3x Leinster in each

    Is it points difference or head to head if teams finish level?

    Head to head if 2 teams are level. Points difference if 3 teams are level. We can get through by winning 2 games

    Asking for a win today seems like a tall order but it would be at least encouraging to put in a decent performance. I know we’re desperate but I hope we’re not rushing back the likes of Aussie, Paudie and Noelie if they’re not fully fit. Anyway, here’s hoping for the best.

    Best of luck to the minors and seniors today and safe travels to all making the journey up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,478 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Grand day for it anyway. Hopefully a decent crowd of us travel. Best of luck to both sides today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,553 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Today's the day best of luck to the minor and seniors

    Very hot day in Limerick. Not too many around yet but there’s a buzz of excitement in the air and the sound of lawn mowers. You can’t beat match day.

    Am I right in saying a loss here today wouldn't be the end of the world for Waterford?
    Beat us and cork next week and the week after when ye have more back and the likes of Gleeson with some game time under him. That'll put ye on 4 points level with cork but have them on head to head. That'll mean 3rd place minimum since all 3 of tipp Clare and limerick wouldn't be able to get 4 pts or more.
    Obviously ye want to win today but given the circumstances game time for some and a stronger squad next week might give ye more of a chance.
    Cork in Semple is winnable. Cork when pressurised seem to struggle to keep composure and we're not the finished article yet either. I sense an ambush from Waterford somewhere at some stage. Maybe even today?
    Tempted to wander down today and see what tipp and Waterford offer. Are tipp after wakening up. Is this Waterford team going to cut loose away from systems. What can we expect next week. Yell have Moran back next week too.
