Definitely not in the same season anyway. Wouldn't say it has happened to anyone else much either.

True and that was commendable, but when ye played with only one forward up (McDonald) for .most of the game , dropped everyone else into midfield and conceded on all our puckouts, ye made the task a lot easier for him.

It has never happened I'm fairly sure. I dont believe a Leinster team has beaten KK in the All Ireland series (outside of the Leinster cship). Correct me if I'm wrong.

My mistake - Offaly beat them in 1998 of course after receiving a hammering from KK in Leinster Final - probably the most memorable year of intercounty hurling for a load of reasons. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 04/05/2022 08:59:44 2414771 Link 0 |
Wins like Sunday will be a huge boost to the squad especially after what happend in wexford . I think Murphy is becoming a worry , he is making mistakes in big games , thats two against KK in the covid leinster final and on Sunday. We cant afford to have that weakness when you are trying to compete with the Nickie Quads and Eoin Muprhys . I agree Grealish had a tough day at the office but he was outstanding up until then this season , and corner backs even the good ones have a tough day at the office at some stage. puckemhard (Galway) - Posts: 227 - 04/05/2022 09:21:51 2414774 Link 0 |

I am impressed with Galway to a certain extent. We seem to be improving in every game. Far from the finished article but I think we are getting there. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1824 - 04/05/2022 11:45:44 2414820 Link 0 |

can someone break it down to 1st class maths for me........if we beat laois and Dublin are we in final?. if we beat laois and lose to Dublin, are we in final? CillTormoir (Galway) - Posts: 485 - 04/05/2022 12:45:39 2414833 Link 0 |
On Grealish, he's been fairly consistent all year. Loftus had a very tough time against Coady a few years ago for the same reasons. KK are very good at leaving space infront of him and he has everything, speed, skill and power. There are not many players in the current game that are as direct as Coady, once he gets turned he's hard to stop, need a system to stop him rather than an individual. After the goals Mannion dropped deeper and we seemed to get on top then.

Also possibly the first time kilkenny played a County three times in the same championship without winning a game.

We did. We beat them in the round robin and again in the Leinster Final replay.

If we win our last two games we definitely top the group and are in the final. A win against Laois and a draw against Dublin would also guarantee us a spot in the final. It is even possible for us to lose to Dublin and still make the final- if we beat Laois, Dublin beat Kilkenny and Kilkenny beat Wexford, then we would finish ahead of Kilkenny and Wexford.

People forget this stuff you see. Must be why we can't shake off the 'inconsistent' tag!! Beat KK in 2018 in Salthill in the group round, drew the Leinster final in Croke Park, won the replay in Thurles.........so THEY DID!!!!

Apologies, my mistake.

Why don't you get someone in Galway (or anywhere else) to make a grand trophy to commemorate this historic achievement.

I misunderstood the question. Thought you meant beat KK in both the Provincial and all Ireland series. Galway had a great team in 2018. Wexford nearly pulled it off too. In 2019. Drew with KK in Round Robin and beat them in the final.

Why be so defensive/narky about something that is fact? It actually happened. If I were a KK person, I'd be confident with that fact as it is the only time ever (to date) that it has happened, instead of being small-minded and begruding of Galway for doing it.
