    Armagh and Donegal serving up football so dull that sky have instructed them to have a Donnybrook to sex things up a wee bit.

    Fighting doctors.....FFS.

    Donegal through 1-12 to 1-11. Just more streetwise. Armagh are never a div 3 team.

    Dubs walked over Monaghan.

    Kilkenny just won a cracker against. Limerick. Terrible conditions but they came through 2-13 to 0-17

    Well done Kilkenny, cracking game that. Tough on Limerick who came close.

    With allegiances in Kilkenny and Tipperary I'll obviously be hoping Tipp can see off Cork next weekend to set up a perfect final for me.

    And they did. cork just never got going at all.
    Tipp could probably have done with a better test because Cork were pure ****e.

    The foootballers on the panel looked well short of hurling after having done fairly well to date.

    The decisions were woeful throughout.

    Absolute mauling tbf.


    I knew Tipp had a load more in them after getting pumped out if Munster. They had to adapt to this style. And now they have. I'm sad and sickened..... But the better side on the day won.

    I kept waiting on Cork to move up a gear but too many wides killed them early on, Tipp` got their tails up and worked their socks off.

    Don't buy that entirely. Tipp tails were up from the start. Yes, too many wides from Cork after that, but they were still in it at half time.

    Second half was a mauling, looking ahead now to a great final.

    No idea how cork were so close at half time. We wee terrible. Tipp will need to go a lot better to take the final.

    Yeah, agree with that, you must have been disappointed with that performance.

    Agree, too, that Tipp will have to up it to win against the Cats. A bit of a win-win for me with parents from both counties, but historically it's always been Tipperary, so that's my best wish for the final.
