Hurling Live Scores 24/07/11

First topic message reminder :

There's a small matter of the hurling QFs this afternoon, and I've managed to get a live stream, so I'll try and keep score in both matches

Up first is Dublin: G Maguire, M Corcoran, P Kelly, M Schutte, J McCaffrey, J Boland, S Durkin, L Rushe, M O'Brien, C McCormack, R O'Dwyer, M Carton, A McCrabbe, D O'Callaghan, P Ryan.

versus Limerick: Nickie Quaid, David Moloney, Seamus Hickey, Tom Condon, Wayne McNamara, Brian Geary, Gavin O'Mahoney (Capt), Donal O'Grady, Paul Browne, Niall Moran, James Ryan, Declan Hannon, Graeme Mulcahy, Kevin Downes, Sean Tobin


Throw in three minutes!!

Well done Dublin...............I thought we probably left it after us a bit...........but are we ready for Tipp or KK...NO......we could badly do with finding another couple of forwards..........

On todays performance, id be surprised if Dublin got within 10 of Tipp, but if they get a good start, then they might make a game of it.................

To be honest John, I can't see Dublin winning against Tipp either, but I'm just so pleased they've got this far. To lose in the All Ireland semi final against last year's champions is a huge improvement for them this season.

Free for Waterford. GOAL after 50 seconds!!

Followed by a point. Great start Waterford. 1-01 to nil.

1-02 0-02. Good response to Waterford's free from Galway, they get two points within seconds.

Free for Waterford 1-03 0-02.

Galway need to be careful, they've given another free, but fortunately for them, Waterford miss, and Galway score soon after 1-03 0-03.

1-04 0-04 Waterford's captain scores and Galway follow. Phew! This game's relentless.

Hayes gets a yellow - first of this match. Galway score 1-04 0-05.

Penalty for Galway...they were close to getting a goal anyway. 1-05 1-04 Galway edge ahead.

Waterford respond with a point 1-05 1-05.

This is a very close game - possession has almost been 50-50 so far.

Waterford edge to the lead with another point for about 15 seconds, Galway equalise. 1-06 each.

1-07 1-06

Teams level again. 1-07 each.

1-09 1-07 to Waterford at HT.

good start of the second half for Waterford with a free 1-10 1-07.

Excellent start for Waterford after a slew of frees 1-13 1-07.

1-14 1-07 Galway falling apart now. Giving away too many frees....here's another...goes wide.

Galway get a point after ten minutes into the second half, but Waterford immediately respond. 1-15 1-08

Waterford scoring again despite hitting a few wides as well. 1-16 1-08.

Waterford running away with this now 1-17 1-08. Galway have almost used up all their subs too.

Galway just not there now. The puck out was right to a Waterford player who scored a point. Dreadful. 1-18 1-09 after Canning manages to get something for Galway.

Canning attempts a goal, but it's hit away, then Galway get a free and get another point as do Waterford. 1-19 1-10.

Canning gets another point. 1-19 1-11.

That game is all over. I only saw the final 10 minutes but Limerick wasted their opportunites and they overcarried the ball. Congrats to Dublin all the same.

1-21 1-12 with five minutes to go. Not sure if Galway can claw their way back.

Thom - yeah you're right I think. Strange, Galway just seemed to give up early on.

Where you getting the link from Cari? Is it good for all GAA matches?

1-22 1-12. Makes up for the drubbing they had with Cork I suppose.

Thom - I'll PM you with the link. I think they're showing all finals now.

Oh! what a save by Hennessy. Galway missed out on a goal they really needed.

1-23 1-13.

It's decent quality. Have no idea how you found it though! Well taken goal by the Blaas there.

GOAL for Galway, but doesn't really help.

2-23 2-13.

So it'll be Dublin v Tipperary and Waterford v Kilkenny. No prizes for predicting the final, as much as I'd love to see an upset in the semis.

Thom - via My Peetwopee

Well done Waterford.

I don't understand Galway.........

I don't think they do themselves. It's like they can't cope with the favourites tag.
