What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an Irish Independent Podcast. Welcome, everyone. So we've got some hurling to talk about. The provincial championships have reached their finale. Limerick are champions in Munster. Their incredible record there continues. Eight finals in a row and seven Munster titles. And then Galway, first piece of silverware since 2018. Kind of hard to believe. Champions of Leinster, emphatically so, against Dublin. So the All-Ireland Series now takes real shape. Galway and Limerick, of course, are through to...
What are the highlights of the Munster Championship final between Limerick and Cork?
The semifinals and then we'll have quarterfinals in two weeks time, which will be Cork against Offaly and then Dublin will take on Clare. And well, I guess if you're mapping it out from there on in, if you're going with the likely winners, you'll have Galway playing Cork in a semifinal and you'll have Limerick playing the winners of Dublin Clare. And maybe Cork and Limerick go again. Who knows? Michael Dignan and Colm Keyes are with us. Our GA podcast coverage is sponsored by AIB. Proud sponsors of Club and County AIB proudly celebrate the joy, dedication and support that lies at the heart of Gaelic games in every community and player across the nation. I should say, I mean, I did just bypass awfully there.
Michael Dignan's wearing an awfully T-shirt. So, I mean, no offense intended and all that.
None taken, Joe. None taken whatsoever. That is the likely outcome. I'm here as a neutral analyst, you know, on all in all form. Offaly have done really well, I think, to get to this stage this year. Probably in my own view of things would probably be maybe a year ahead of maybe where we thought we might be, progress-wise. But having said that, I think the lads are preparing really hard. They'll take a certain amount of motivation from that sort of talk, which is fair enough. And Cork have scored a good few goals against us in the last few times we've met. And I'm sure it'll probably flavour the set-up, how awfully set-up. This team plays very much off the cuff. They're young players. But I'm sure they're going to have to keep an eye on that and maybe set up a bit more defensively.
But look, Cork are at a different level at this stage and should progress. But I think it's a great game for Offaly. I think the extra months training as well is very important in the development. I know the weather has been very poor in the last week or two, but... And just to be together for that extra maybe 12 or 14 sessions at this type of year is massive, I think, for the team going forward. So it's all very positive. They're in great form. They're enjoying the training and looking forward to it.
What are the implications of Limerick's win for the All-Ireland Series?
It'll be a huge game with Cork because... um wherever it is i know there's massive fixture headaches now because the football is ongoing as well and uh with with would say claire claire dublin and awfully potentially could be playing football that weekend as well off you have wexford in the quarterfinal at talton next weekend but so you have all that fixture chaos to come as well but cork brings such great support if it was cork awfully saying tortoise or something like that as a standalone fixture you'd probably have a full house which would be a massive occasion for this team as well so
all positive and happy enough for Cork to wear the favourites hat fair enough let's talk Limerick 121 Cork 217 then a one point win in the end Limerick only took the lead in the 70th minute after which we had five minutes of oh madness really Colm Keyes you were there for the paper better team won
Yes, Joe, the better team won. It took them a long time to get to that point. I thought for the level of dominance, I thought post-match, one of the most relevant things, and he says a lot of relevant things in his post-match briefing that John Kiley said, he said, we had to be six points a better team to win by one. Now, that might not mean six points a better team, but there were somewhere in between And while that's a good sign for Limerick that they can be that dominant, I just wondered about it afterwards, that why didn't they win by more?
