On holiday in the west of Ireland at present, so watched it in Westport, where there was a great atmosphere. A very intense and tight game and one where David Clifford’s shooting for Kerry was below his usual exalted standards.
I hadn’t realised that the Clifford brothers lost their mum not long ago. David has driven Kerry’s success and the Dubs did an effective job keeping him quiet yesterday. Kerry need to have other players who can step up when he has a rare poor game.
Good game ......thought Dublin deserved if Clifford had converted a couple more it would have been a different story. Dublin were able to bring on a couple of experienced players which helped at the end.
What i don’t understand about the game is why they don’t take more pops at the goal for the 3 points?
When I played, you were always told to take your point. You can score a point from far out, to score a goal you usually had to put the ball into the full forward, who you be closely marked.
AAjr has been getting in touch with his Mum’s roots by playing hurling and Gaelic football for the last couple of months. There’s a club over by Canary Wharf on a Tuesday night.

How old is he? As with everything, the younger, the better. I didn’t start playing until I was 18, got by with my football (soccer, always seem to play goal for most team at some time) & athleticism, had a good 10 years playing and won county championships and young player of the year. Still wished I played a lot younger. I played for St Anne’s, 7 of the team won a junior All Ireland playing for London against Cork in the final in ‘86.

Won’t live long in the memory tbh.
As a Cavan girl in Cork I was probably thinking the same as my fellow Ulsterman 😜🤣🤣
But, generally, Kerry played well, they just weren't taking their points as they should have.
Which is pretty much the story for the semi-finals as well as the final.
Great effort but lost to St Brigids in the end.
A hugely entertaining commentator (and all around nice man, by all accounts), immensely quotable...
RIP.

The voice that kept our Dad in touch.
RIP 💚
His girlfriend is from Cork.
Obviously I’d like to see Cork win.
Edit - And, on my TV, the goal-point score is under the black figures.
But, if this is to be your introduction to hurling, can I just say I wish mine was as good.
think this is Corks to lose
