Galway but Joe felt slightly differently you know that there were some green shoots maybe for Kilkenny after what they did to Wexford are you seeing them as contenders this year?
I mean for the All-Ireland I'd agree with Joe look I'm always saying Kilkenny are contenders for the All-Ireland just because by virtue of the fact they're Kilkenny and they're going to make it into the final it'll be a toss of a coin against Galway in that and again like I said two weeks
two weeks ago that I had more faith in Galway this year than I've had in a while I kind of like what I've seen and we'll see now how it plays out but I do like more what I've seen of Galway this year than years gone by but you know if you've got one of those lesser teams going to get to semi-final you know then you just have to perform twice to win an Ireland so yeah you've got a huge you've got a huge chance there and
we probably no more than look I wouldn't have read in at all into the hammering that Galway gave Kilkenny in the league because as I mentioned there were thought to be extenuating circumstances to that as Joe and TJ said it as well in his interview couple of chances to go another way in that Galway game you know so if they go another way you don't have to you Kilkenny could that game could have been a different game
I wouldn't read too much into this either because Wexford are at nothing.
They're absolutely just, they're at nothing.
They won by seven points against Kildare and it was a lately chin goal, put gloss on that.
They're just not a good side.
They're going to come fifth in Leinster.
They're not up to that level.
The players don't seem to be there.
They just...
They're still going to the well with Lee Chin, who's 32, 33 years of age now.
They just don't... And if he's not playing for them or performing for them, they just don't seem to raise a gallop.
In the league, they clearly offer nothing against Kilkenny there.
I would expect that... Look, I could be wrong, but I expect that Dublin and Offaly are both going to be looking at their results now following their draw and thinking...
The name of the game here is keep the score down against Kenny and Galway.
Put the score up against Wexford and kill there because that's what's going to decide who goes through in third place.
Cut to Wexford winning the rest of their games in the Leinster Championship.
