Thurles appetiser foretells a summer of slaughter
Galway and Cork hammered out half an entertaining league final yesterday in Thurles, with the westerners well worth their eight-point win. Was it championship fare? Maybe for a time in the first half, but don’t sue under the Trades Description Act. The league is the league.
The game was played at 7pm, as you all know well, and for the record, 14,200 attended. To arrive at an estimate as to how that figure was affected by the GAA’s decision to stage the decider in the evening would require mastery of mathematical principles familiar only to the chief loan officer with Anglo Irish Bank.
