Point of order, tiobraid. You have made the instructions and rules crystal clear more than once. If anyone still can't understand, or be bothered to read them, I don't see any reason why you should be mollycoddling them.
PS. This has nothing to do with me being level on points with Tacai Liatroma, near the bottom of the table.

A repeat or last years final for me but wouldn't rule out ET in the game Sunday but will stick to wins in normal time. The huge difference in composure between the two teams in the last 10 mins will see Limerick just get over the line.

Limerick

Well, Tiobraid (and great to see that you didn't leave us over an idiotic comment a little while ago), you finally accept that Limerick are back among the hunting pack.

I can see Limerick winning it, but a Galway win wouldn't surprise me. Hayes is a mighty hurler and a mighty athlete, but will he hold the center like Hannon does? It is crucial that the center-back holds the middle and protects the full-back line. Hannon did that expertly, which is why Limerick are seldom exposed for shots at their goal.

Same winning margin as last year: Limerick by 3 points.

Not the same winning margin as last year: Kilkenny by only 9 points this time.

Probably Limerick by 7 or 8 points. But we live in hope.

Only 12 predictions in this with most going for a repeat of last years final - very few can argue that the best two teams are in the final given its a repeat of 2022 and this years league also.

Change at the top of the table with Trump staying loyal to Galway. Given the likelyhood of a tie after the AI final - I will add in a "tie-breaker" such as overall total points scored in the final - will think about it over the next day or so before I post for the final.

As always, let me know if any errors with the below.

Week 10 Predictions

Possibly the final prediction for the year with still all to play for. To the best of my knowledge there is a replay should the game finish as a draw so as per the Munster and Leinster group games its 1 point for a win and 3 for a draw.

Given the likelyhood of a tie we will add in a "tiebreaker" prediction of total points scored with the caveat that you can't make the same prediction as someone who you could end up on the same score as. In my case that would be Trump and Doyler - others can finish on the same but that would mean there would be a replay and we would ignore the "tiebreaker" in that case until the replay.

Kilkenny v Limerick Limerick (60 points total)
