TONY CONSIDINE: Dublin and Galway pay price for lack of teamwork

The only good thing about the two semi-finals in Thurles yesterday was the pitch.

The games? Forgettable.

It was all so easy for Tipperary in the first game but what is it about Dublin? Hurling is a very simple game but they make it look so difficult. There was no pattern to their play with aimless striking of the ball and no aggression. They don’t seem to realise either that hurling is a team game; all over the field Anthony Daly’s team are playing as individuals.
