Cork V Tipperary

Bilko · August 17, 2014

Decided to put this in a thread on it's own rather than in the GAA thread so posters might read it !.Lids if you've been underwhelmed by the GAA that has been on offer this season via Sky,and don't get what the Irish contingent see in this sport.then today is the day to do yourselves a favour,please tape it or better still watch it live on sky sports three.

There will be 80,000 at croke park today for this hurling Match,it's the semi final of the All Ireland this afternoon @ 3pm. two heavyweights of the sport,and county rivalry to match anywhere in the world.
I couldn't tell you who is going to win,but I will bet my bottom dollar it will be a fantastic occasion and my guess is with ten minutes to go the game will be in the balance.

I can't sell it enough to you,but trust me,watch it!.

The Gaelic has been such a letdown but the quality of the hurling has been savage, I don't think I've watched an average game this year. In fact I can't remember the last one!

Very good start to this.

Cheering for Tipp as the Missus is from there.

1-4 Tipp 0-3 Cork after 15 minutes

Some pace to this half. Cork need to cut out the wides

Brilliant win by Tipp. I have been saying all along that the 5 week lay off would be bad for Cork whereas Tipp have been getting sharper with game time.

Now.... can they beat Kilkenny for the first time (in any competition) since 2010????

Living in KK I certainly hope they can !!

Happy days, still in Dublin trying to recover after a serious night celebrating, now for the big one in 3 weeks time, going to be a lot tougher than yesterday that's for sure.
