The team with the better all-round hurlers and more hunger won today.

Too much love for Pullagh, they are a very average team. If anyone breaks up Clara or Rhode next year, it would probably be Tullamore(because they can find ways to win in the knockout stages even if their team isn't outstanding) or Tubber(Who showed against Clara in the q-final that they can compete...

Kilcormace can feel hard done by(Red card fiasco), but lets be honest this is utterly pointless. Tullamore are in the final and that's that.

In the end, it was Rhode's ability to drop a lot of men back and drive the ball into McNamee on his own that was the difference. Having a forward like him is such a bonus to a team. Clara's forwards just seemed to be blanketed out by Rhode. Deehan, especially was handled well. Shane Sullivan was ter...

They are but, lets be honest, Shamrocks have a greater chance of success than Pullagh. Maybe Dunne could change that but I don't think he could on his own.

I'm not too sure about K/K's 1st red card, I didn't even know what he was sent off for, all I know is that Slevin was not happy... A spectator did run on to the field. He was knocked to the ground fairly quickly and beaten well before being put back in the stands.

Some disgraceful scenes at the K/K Tullamore match today...

Clara 1-13 Tubber 0-12. Tubber left to wonder what might have been. McManus saw his penalty brilliantly saved by Kevin Meehan, Brian Kelly also had a shot saved by Meehan when he was 1 on 1, and Keith Rafferty had his top corner bound shot blocked by Ledwith(I think). You could tell Tubber were real...

Ballycumber 1-12 Tubber 0-12 Tubber kicked a lot of wides in this one and really should of won it. Ballycumber were quite accurate with Rory Guinan scoring a fair bit. Expect Tubber to be beaten comfortably enough by Clara in the quarters. I reckon Shamrocks will get by Ballycumber aswell as Dunne a...

Tubber 1-13 Walsh Island 1-13 The Island were winning this one 1-10 to 0-04 with about 20 minutes left when Tubber decided to get their act together and give it a lash. Mac kicked the equalizing point from a free with about a minute left. McManus dominated Brian Connor in the second half. The Island...

Yeah the Island v Rovers game was a good contest, the Island will feel they threw it away after being in total control in the second half. the second game was crap, Tubber are useless, game over at half time 0.11 to 1.1, Rhode just took their foot off the gas in the second half, Niall Mac gave an e...

Rhode 1-17 Tubber 1-6 It may seem like a convincing victory for Rhode but in truth they were not that great. Tubber produced one of the most awful displays of score-taking I've ever seen in the second half. I reckon they missed 1-9. Tubber dominated midfield and had many chances in the forward line....

Reynolds seriously needs to stop shooting every time he gets within 45 yards of the goals though...
