The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

I didn't quite hear him because I was waiting for Murph's answer near Scale saying he should go to a cave.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Better off indeed.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

It was only when someone texted me about it during the week.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

All good fun indeed.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

But yeah, I genuinely think next year, why not?

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

And I mean, like when the teams get knocked out, like if you want to play the Ulster Championship after the McDonagh finishes, why not?

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Just have three teams, have a draw, semi-final, team in a final, and play it.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Yeah, I think that's the way the senior camogie, again, someone might correct me here, but I think that's how, and I do appreciate that they're decoupled, the championships in the camogie, both the provincial and the All-Ireland series.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

But similarly, why not just decouple it and have an Ulster championship that's worthwhile having with three teams that are now at the same level?

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Have them play off against each other, semi-final, final, play it over the course of three weeks, after the championship's finished, job done.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Yeah.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

yeah unless there's a reason that the clubs have to be back a bit earlier than that I will appreciate that I haven't thought all this out but I think there's definitely a case for it that you would have a space afterwards because look the space is not there between the league and the championship so right now McDonagh Cup comes around way too quick afterwards it'd have to be the other side but again I don't see any reason why you couldn't have it revive it bring it back

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

have your own provincial championship back and i think that's something that the ga should aspire to happening as well i thought was an awful shame that the ultra championship actually was allowed to kind of wither away and die in the vine it should always have been kept so hopefully it's an argument for that um okay so they're up and as murph mentioned as well earlier on today as part of the double header at crow park it was the lunchtime game today uh longford won against leitrim by 118 to 113 in the laurie mara cup final uh reuben murray the longford captain was the hero for them got the goal in the 52nd minute he scored one three

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

In all, as Longford rallied in the second half, they were down by a couple of points at half-time against Leitrim, but Longford winning out in the end, 1-18 to one goal in 13.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

And they had won this competition just a few years ago as well, so this is, I think, the second time in four seasons?

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

It's the third time they've won it, sorry.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

I'm pretty sure, yeah.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

It is actually, yeah, 2014.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Cork were going to win the All-Ireland every year.
