Déise lack fury to negate Cork panache

Galway are there. Cork and Waterford are nearly there. Hurling is taking its August turns. Lovely late summer cadences.

Load of hydraulics, pardon the phrase. Hurling, winning hurling, marches to a different beat. Fury got mentioned here last week as the element that might drive Galway over the line, might put them there.

Fury beat Tipperary by a point. Galway simply could not afford to lose. That outcome would have scarred their soul, same as loss in 2016 would have flayed Tipperary’s soul.
