Don’t expect the nets to dance in quarter-finals

An immovable force against an unstoppable object. That’s one way of putting Cork and Galway’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final this Sunday.

Of the four teams in action in Thurles, Galway are by far and away the best goal-scorers these last six seasons. In fact, you have to go back to 2008 to the last time they failed to average more than two goals per championship game.

Neither Dublin or Waterford have averaged over two goals since 2010 at least and Cork have managed it just once in that same period.
