What a fantastic hurling match! My nerves are shattered!
It was King Henry Shefflin v Big Joe Canning.
Hope the replay is just as exciting.
 
What a great two games we had today and how fitting both ended in draws. Nobody moaned, nobody groaned and they all just want to get on with the business afoot. Our soccer team could learn from the GAA.
 
I thought Galway lost it too be honest. Built up a god lead ad didn't capitalise on it. Too many scoreable chances in the second half went wide. Should've been Galways day.
 
5 points is nothing at half time in hurling, even more so against Kilkenny.

Didnt Cody moan and groan for the final free?

Not sure what our soccer team have done now?

As an aside... The GAA have dropped the replay prices.
Stand down from €80 to €50
Terrace down drom €40 to €25.

Fair play to them.
 
All summer long there have been players leaving squads due to not being picked to start matches, didn't Ciaran McDonald of Mayo do the same thing.

I don't see why the two fantastic games yesterday have to be turned into a whataboutery on the state of soccer?

Ciaran McDonald was dropped off the Mayo panel about 5 years ago by John O'Mahony. He hasn't played intercounty since but still plays for Crossmolina.
 
I hope to God that Galway win the replay. I know Kilkenny came back at them in the 2nd half, but I believe Galway are the better team. If they could just drop their 2nd half negativity they could pile a substantial defeat on the Cats.

Sorry I got mixed up with Conor Mortimer, doesn't change the fact that he and other players have also left their county squads during the summer due to differences of opinion with management. It's not specific to soccer.
 
Certainly the 4 years competing in Leinster has toughened up Galway. After no senior championship success since 1988 no one would begrudge Galway a victory. Looking forward to 30th Sept and the u21 this Saturday. I will be rooting for Kilkenny though, as usual. By the way I can't abide the biased all Munster trio of Loughnane, Sheehy & Mulcahy on the RTE Live Sunday Game.
 
How are they biased? All of them along with the majority of the Country have anointed the current Kilkenny team as the greatest of all time. As a Galway supporter, Henrys performance on Sunday was out of this world. Tommy Walsh is not far behind.
