Replying To Trump2020:  "Sorry to go off topic as I don't want to start a whole new thread for just one Hurling question but does Johnathon Glynn still Hurl for Galway? I assume he was going n the All Ireland winning team a few years back. Just wondering. Thanks."
Retired from hurling and lives in Yonkers. Bit hard to travel to Ireland if they made him quarantine and miss the game. Ha ha

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Got the tickets which are way up in the gods Canal End so they're obviously planning some serious social distancing!

Logistics apart, looking forward to it. First game since January 2020.

Hard to be greatly optimistic from Dublin perspective. They're well drilled, some good scorers, a bit of a goal threat now with Hayes (will miss Trolier though) and good work rate.


That keeps them competitive but probably, well not probably!, missing that bit of a spark to beat Galway or Tipp or Limerick. Would give them some chance against rest but they are too predictable. Cork game last year was very disappointing. Cork got the goal, and after that did enough to maintain a 5/6 point gap that we never looked like closing. Same pattern in Clare league game.

Would love to see them have a real cut at it like Parnell the last time. Unfortunately, i don't think Kenny gets that out of them, other than the mad comeback against the stripey lads."
All four competing counties are set to receive an allocation of 2,000 tickets each. The games are being used as a test event, with the capacity set at 8,000. You can watch one, or both games.

Yeah, yeah. Galway this and Galway that at minor and under 21. Why do they continuously bottle it at senior?

It got a bit dicey after halftime when Limerick came to within a point but then Galway turned it on with all the goals. Tough match ahead whether it's KK or Offaly. Galway Abu!!!!

It looks like KK at the moment, but we live in hope.

Just 1 point scored by Galway at the first water break - nobody saw that coming!

Lovely point for Conor Burke in the Dublin v Galway 1st half, the way he gathered the ball, gracefully got over the Galway player, and slotted it over. Worth re-watching

Congrats to Dublin who were by far the better team from start to finish. The Galway display was an absolute horror-show.

Well done Dublin. Galway weren't at the pitch at all. They were borderline shambolic. Joe Cannings misses were just so awful. And it wasn't only him. Will Galway ever change ..cant put a proper run of performances together. Really a very mentally weak bunch of top class talent

Delighted with the result. Great work rate and decision making. No one gave us a chance in this one. Great to be looking forward to a Leinster final again.
