Despite the conniving of the GAA to rob Cork of our best players, it has to be er, CORK!

Up the blood and bandage! :-)

I voted for my county, but would no be surprised if Waterford won it. Galway fairly demolished Laois today! A good start for us.

This is the right post for the hurling thread!:

Ok, so which counties are left that can win it?

Connacht: There is no provincial championship as apart from Galway none of the counties are close to championship standard.

Ulster: Antrim won the final a few weeks back.

Leinster: Final July 1: Kilkenny v Wexford

Munster: Final July 8: Waterford v Limerick

Qualifers are played in a group format:

Group A: Antrim, Clare, Laois and Galway.

Group B: Cork, Tipperary, Dublin, Offaly.

All-Ireland Q-F: August 22/29

quoting > "Group A: Antrim, Clare, Laois and Galway."

A bad weekend all around for Galway ... as Clare beat Galway last night by 2-10 to 0-14.

Results to date in the Group:
30 Jun 2007 Antrim 2-15 - 3-21 Clare
30 Jun 2007 Laois 1-14 - 3-20 Galway
7 Jul 2007 Antrim 1-23 - 1-13 Laois
7 Jul 2007 Clare 2-10 - 0-14 Galway

Clare are pretty much guaranteed a Q-F spot, Galway must beat Antrim next weekend to qualify for the Q-F.

Clare were carrying on like they'd won the All-Ireland!

Well after the Galway (and former Clare) manager's comments during the week I wouldn't blame them!

The second semi-final is on today:

Waterford or Limerick (Live on Setanta Sport 2 at 4pm).

The winners play Kilkenny in the final next month.

That was some game! And a bit of a surprise result what with Limerick winning.

It was the first time my flatmates had seen agame (well part of) and they were slightly aghast.

Lol - when I tell people I played hurling at school they look shocked!
