Gracefield (1970), Walsh Island (1978 & 1979) and Ferbane (1986) have all won Leinsters, none of them got to the All-Ireland final though.

Some drama at the end of the Tullamore and Summerhill game I think some of the Tullamore lads could be in bother one of the players pushing the reff at the end

Scoring two points in a second half won't win you many games. Tullamore's travails in attack are by now a recurring theme.

For the forward talent at their disposal, they are falling short of where they could be I'd feel. To score only 2 pts in second half at home after a month lay off and lots of prep time is fairly poor. They should have been mad keen to go at Summerhill today at home, but showed same old failings. They play with way too many behind the ball for the talent they have and net effect is that they dont have enough fire power then when they need to attack. They are leaving teams in games because of the negative approach. They lost to Rhode last year after dominating game and left them in the game, and it nearly cost them co title again this year against Ferbane.

Also very, very nearly lost to Edenderry this year in the semi final with the same approach.

As far as I am aware, Tullamore have never won a Leinster club championship game. I am open to correction on that though.

If true, that is actually shocking.

Tullamore haven’t produced an inter county forward since Paddy Fenning in the 70s. You’d swear they had half the county forward line playing for them the way some people go on.

They nearly won today the same way they always win. Tight at the back and majority of scores coming from their backs. If they scored a few more frees today they’d have got their first Leinster win. They might never get a better chance. Summerhill weren’t great

I’m open to correction, but I think Tullamore’s only Leinster SF win was over the Longford champions a few years back.

Corner back, Deccie Hogan scored 1-1 today. Tullamore missed too many chances today.

People in Tullamore had already been fed up with how the team is set up and their style of play but today will be the final nail in the coffin, I'd expect Niall Stack to step down in the coming weeks.

As for the guy in the blue hoodie, a lengthy ban is incoming one would suspect.
