GAA 2022

Corks beating wasn't as bad as last years, but make no mistake about it they have a long way to go.

It was bringing on Moran, Murphy and Geaney that swung it for Kerry. I thought that the ref gave everything to Kerry.

Was in Belfast over the weekend on a stag do, where one afternoon we had a Gaelic games session at a local club. We were given an intro to both sports, the rules, the general structure of it throughout the country and the basics of each and having a game of hurling and then football between the 20 of us.

Absolutely loved it.

Nails sport but as we're all rugby/football lads we had a great time. Some pretty spicy challenges all over the place!

Doing my best to keep up with it all via this thread ?

First off, great you got to try it. I have played in charity games ‘of 2 halves’ against rugby teams and it gets seriously physical until we establish our manly selves then it’s great craic.

How was Belfast?

I agree, but Kerry stepped through the gears in the second half. I think they are the team to beat

Tipp v Limerick in Munster hurling at 2pm - Mrs BR from Tipp will be up to 90, but not confident. I think Limerick will have too much for Tipp.

Then my late Dad's Cavan v Donegal in Ulster football - come on the Breffni!!!!

Great mornings football with one of our girls teams, first time this year I've not had to wear and extra layer on the sideline! Glorious sunshine.

Limerick hitting stride now, very hard to see them being stopped again. Cavan might give Donegal a game today.

Level with 11 minutes to go - come on Cavan!!

FFS Cavan caught out twice by a big hoof ball

Unusually Dublin v Meath not on TV - only available through a GAA link at €10. The other Leinster SF is Kildare v Westmeath

In Ulster its Derry v Monaghan - on BBC2 NI.

RTE showing two very tasty Munster Hurling matches - Waterford v Cork and then Clare v Limerick

 

[Bluerover]

Flicking between City match and the hurling. Cork seem to be playing well and lead by a point at HT in Waterford. I have an overdose of sport today although priority is GP .

Things will be boring in a few weeks but hopefully GAA keeps interest going until july. Then....withdrawal symptoms

Major shock as Cork win in Waterford by 6 points - 1-19 to 2-22 @Cork Evertonian

 

[Bluerover]

Just checked into Ennis - seems a brilliant match ending level 1-21 to 0-24. Repeat awaits in the Munster Final

Dubs seem to be cruising after an horrific League campaign 1-20 to 0-6, while Kildare edged Westmeath by three - 1-21 to 2-15

 

[spudmuncher]

Just back from cusack Park... draw fair results.... limerick are beasts , but fair play to clare ... Tony Kelly is a genius , up the banner

FT

Dublin 1-27 Meath 1-14 some tiny consolation for me as my heart is really in my boots
Kildare 1-21 Westmeath 2-15

Surprise in Ulster

Monaghan 0-17 Derry 3-12

It wasn't a shock to me to be honest, i was expecting a big performance from Cork. Now if they beat Tipp and Clare take care of Waterford, then they'll go through to the preliminary quarter finals. Too bad about Everton though.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Wexford only drew with Westmeath, a bad result for them but a great result for Westmeath fair play to them.
