CLG (GAA)

[open face surgery]

Savage game. KK upped the ante in the second half.

[Caomhaoin]

Ya they have better players, the spirit from
KK was mighty though.

[CorkonianHunger]

Some of those Limerick points though, especially from Hegarty.

[open face surgery]

Both sides were landing beautiful points and the 3 goals were crackers.

[Caomhaoin]

Hegarty was outstanding, and my heart sank every time Flanagan caught the high ball. A monster.

[Caomhaoin]

Brian Cody has stepped down. The greatest ever manager in the history of Hurling.

He was my teacher in national school, 2nd and 6th class. My abiding memory, apart from hurling only in PE, was if he saw a lad wearing a cap (ironic considering he has had one glued to his head since 1998), he'd order him to 'decapitate'

[Carnage]

We had one like that in secondary school - your rubbish went in the "has bin" and if he wanted you to stand up he'd say "be upstanding".

I was surprised that he stood down, despite the hints during the week, I'd have thought theat he'd die on the sideline.

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah I felt the same, it was a good performance in the final and it could have built on, 25th year, try to stop Limerick winning 4 in a row etc.

Probably Derek Lyng or Eddie Brennan to come in, unless Shefflin can be pooched, which is doubtful at this stage.

[astfgyl]

Thought he'd do what Alex Ferguson did and win one last one before giving up the ghost. As a Tipp man I have to say the old nemesis will be missed, he was a real pain in the hole for many years.

[Caomhaoin]

Fair play to Kerry, they dug it out. David Clifford is a mighty player, but you have to feel for Shane Walsh. Can't say I approve of that daft fringe but he gave everything, as did Galway. They lost their composure in the last 10 minutes.

[open face surgery]

Enjoyable match but would've liked to see Galway win it. Same as their hurling semi, they went tit for tat til the last few minutes.

[Cailleach]

Galway's stamina waned in the last fifteen minutes. That really was their undoing in the end. Clifford and Walsh showed why they are the best two players in the country at the moment. Some excellent scores by both.

[Carnage]

Galway left it on the pitch in the last 10-15 mins., once Kerry brought the subs on it was theirs. Heartbreaking to get so close but I suppose the ¼ Kerry blood in me will take it.

[Caomhaoin]

DJ Carey seems to be in serious bother over fraud allegations. Not a million miles away from his mad sister. My absolute hero growing up, absolutely shocking.

[Don Gately]

There is a KK hurler mentioned and you're probably correct. Up to 1m in fraud, claiming he was getting cancer treatment abroad and tapping up friends and business acquaintances. Shocking stuff and if true completely taints legacy
