Two‑time All‑Ireland–winning captain and former Dublin and Clare manager, Anthony Daly, is a much-respected pundit and columnist as well as ringmaster in chief on the hugely-popular Dalo’s Hurling Show.

In a bewildering time, it’s already been a bewildering championship. Despite all the hope and expectation, a raft of teams have already found themselves in the horrors; Cork, Clare, Laois, Wexford and, to a lesser extent now, Tipperary.

Most of those sides shipped big beatings on the scoreboard but, the team which lost by the least amount — Cork — will still have attracted the most criticism, primarily because of the serial nature of another big day loss.
