So simple, so devastating

I WROTE it on Saturday, I was really looking forward to this weekend. Cork and Galway on Saturday in the qualifiers, Tipperary and Waterford in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday in the Munster final. What a weekend it has been for hurling all right, what a poor weekend.

Galway beat Cork by 1-9, Limerick hammered Antrim by 3-10 but Tipperary top the lot with a seven-goal walloping of Waterford in the Munster final. Could anyone have predicted that? I doubt it. I didn’t anyway.

Tipperary didn’t give away a thing yesterday, did they? Not a goal conceded, not even a sniff of a goal, and only seven points from play.
