Replying To Mads: "Was gutted for Mike there. He hasn't had a chance to get himself right with all the setbacks. While I did worry about his height as a fullback his positional sense was always brilliant. It would be great to see him in some capacity in 2022" I thought it was Peter Casey who had the set-back. Is there a chance both of them will hurl championship in 2022?

Replying To OpenStand: "Well done to Kilmallock on a very impressive win today . Limerick hurling in fair shape when our county champions beat cork champions easily . Pity about the referring in the other semi final !" I will just correct you a little. Officiating made a harsh decision sending Noel McGrath off. The ref did not see what happened until noticing Leavey on the ground. He went to the lines man and must have been told there was a striking action. If so he then did what the rules say. Don't mind what selected camera frames and others are trying to put across. I don't think he should be getting lambasted like he is. It is a risk hitting a player when play is stopped and a foul was committed. A yellow would have seemed right and the ball brought forward for the free.
The second red was the correct call and everyone wants to nail him to the cross for this one also drawing comparisons with the first one. it was clear in the grounds that Ballygunner could of had four or five more frees and another definite penalty. However these are the breaks. Usually balancing out.
Look hopefully the final will be a good game and hopefully the best team wins. (Nearly always do) I would not bet against Kimallock. The officiating will never please everyone. The percentages of officiating mistakes is way less than player mistakes. The biggest one that day was Stephen O'Keefe missing the penalty. Scored and you could go home.
Up the Deise and Limerick.

Replying To Shocs07: "Nice win today for Ard Scoil and 12 of the 15 from Limerick" Great win by ASR. Tellingly there is no Cork team in the Semi Finals. BTW, Clare V Limerick is streamed live on Sunday. I have a Smart TV, so I can play Utube videos off my Laptop- Is it possible to put the Streamed material on to the TV as well in this case?

If you can access a search engine App on your TV like Google or Bing it's pretty easy. Type in the stream service and your password and there should be no problem..
Otherwise you can try and use Chromecast if that's an option.
I did that for the Limerick v Kerry match.
If none of the above work you can try and use a HDMI cable to attach the laptop to the TV and play the match from the laptop onto the big screen.. Best of luck with it.

Oldtourman, Skillet's recommendations are all spot on. If your not that tech savvy a HDMI cable is guaranteed to work….. once your laptop can take a hdmi cable. You may already have one connected to a sky/multi Chanel box? They are about €10 if not. Bring the laptop with you. The smart TV almost certainly can take HDMI
PS. I miss the old forum system !!

It could be increased. Munster rugby have increased Thomson's to 16,000 for Sunday's game. No reason GAA can't act quickly as well.

Having watched match in Ennis yesterday {I know its early season) Limerick keep rolling out the talent only 3 of there Starting all Ireland Team but they won in a canter Kinnerk & Cunningham have done an amazing coaching job with these players there touch decision making work rate its all there & more.
It was a bit of an excuse me type Hurling as Ger Loughnane would say no fire from Clare at all.
I am always amazed how teams allow limerick to build from the puck out mainly to Barry Nash then its on there 70 in a whisker and with how they flood the middle 3rd always have an offload or can ping the corners. IMO if it was not working they would not be doing it. Clare were going short to half back line several times the player found himself turned over lost possession still they persisted Limerick copped it immediately supporters beside me were saying let him have it as they knew he was going to mess up how our management diden't see i cant understand.
Its almost depressing how Supporters are accepting defeat in such a defeatist manner
Clare badly need to Have there full contingent of players back to have any hope Hayes/Mcinerney/Galvin's /Mcacrthy /Kelly/Duggan/O Donnell/Shanagher
Brian Lohan has done his best to unearth a few more players but on yesterdays performance we well off the pace

Tipp chose to leave him free last year in Munster final and while they were well up at half time it made no sense to leave him free. Finn is a top class corner back but I'd be leaving him free before Nash and if not then force Nash to move to the number 2 spot. A lot of people underestimate his impoartance to how Limerick play and some might say hes the weakest of the 6 backs but there is an argument he their most important in some ways.
Its very hard to see how Limerick are going to be beaten unless they lose the likes of Lynch and Hannon. They have a strong panel but as I said with KK in their prime, you do not replace these guys. It could be a tough year this year for everyone outside of Limerick people.

i do think its very silly when oppostion teams leave barry nash free as he is a very good skilful hurler and is very accurate with his passing. most of limericks attacking play that starts in the full bkline starts with barry nash. but saying that if you push up on limerick for puckouts nicky doesnt mind going long to morrissey lynch and hego as all 3 are very good in the air.

Great to have the new season upon us. After watching both munster senior league matches you can see a lot of players on the edge of the team are in good nick. I'm hearing a lot of the regulars are chomping at the bit for game time so it'll be interesting to see how kiely and Co manage minutes over the next few weeks.
Richie English looks very focused hungry and at it this year. I'd say he will be viewed as a corner back this year as I do feel that's his best position rather than full back. He's a very aggressive defender and sometimes that doesn't always suit the FB. He likes to be on the shoulder of his man at all times and out in front when ball is delivered. Nash as stand in captain shows the full circle he has come from peripheral forward to all star corner back and captain. Dan morrissey for me is the best FB in Ireland and with Finn there that line looks very deep esp with Mike casey back training.
You can't but be impressed with Colin coughlan. He's an imposing figure at such a young age. Very good under the high ball. Hurling is quick and fluid. His turn and pace needs a bit of work and needs to be smarter when marking the quicker forward but looks like he'll put the HB line under pressure all year.
Midfield looks competitive. Hanley had his best year for kilmallock last year. Very consistent and is surely first man in after WOD and DOD for that line. Brian o Grady has a lot to like. He's like a bull but has serious pace and can take a score. Over plays it at times.
Cathal o neill impressed me. Work rate and ability to win the ball on the ground is at a very high level . David Reidy is in good nick but would love to see him engage the opposition more from a tackle count perspective to really push the HF line. But in all honesty that's one of the best HF lines in the history of the game.
The FF line is the obvious line where a jersey is up for grabs. With casey out for start of season and possibly munster championship there is a spot for a lot of contenders. Ryan, o connell, mulcahy, o reilly, English are all in with a shot to start v cork. There is something I just like about Adam English but it's very early days. His touch is instantaneous and he's a smart open field hurler very much in the ilk of young Peter Casey. Hes not afraid to shoot and can take a goal.
Best of luck trying to pick the team for each league game which makes it interesting as a fan and probably even more as a player. Keep them hungry and raring to go.
Roll on Sunday

Luimneaxh abú" Great points,Coughlan is a tank and great striker of the ball. His general lack of pace looks his only weakness hopefully a mixture of speed training, tactics and positional sense can mitigate against getting exposed. I though Ronan Connolly did very well at center back against Clare.
Cathal O'Neill is a great prospect, i don't things have quite fallen for him yet but hopefully, it will come.
Agree on English, he looks very much at ease in a senior inter county jersey in the brief spells we have seen him and could also give that bit of factor, would love to see him start v Cork. I don't think the general Limerick supporters will put any pressure on the likes of ONeill or English to perform considering their age and experience but i would say the competition within the panel and pressure they put themselves under would be immense, particularly as there is a starting position in the forwards up for grabs for whoever wants it most. K
Completely agree on everything said about Barry Nash, when teams leave him free its not going to end well for them, his distribution and decision-making is top-notch and he looked at home as captain for the Munster league. Richie English is going to have his work cut out to shift him, the balance between Nash and Finn in the corners against mostly two inside forwards is ideal, Finn will always mark and Nash can look to float.

Very worried about what may happen to us on Sunday. We're carrying a lot of injuries to key players at the moment and the last team you want to face is the all Ireland champions. Expect to see a big improvement in us from the Dublin game but Limerick should have far too much for us to handle. The strength in depth there is something else and the team named for Sunday is good enough to win the all Ireland. Looking forward to welcoming the champs and their supporters to the park on Sunday.

Limerick do have a strong team named and will be interesting to see how they go. They are only back a few weeks but I think with the short run to championship teams need to be deciding pretty quickly on their 26-30 players and give adequate game time in the league.
Always a tough place wexford park and darragh Egan is a great choice for wexford over the next couple of years. Can't wait for match.
