Gaa 2017

[The D Man]

Now that the leagues are reaching towards their finals it is time to start this thread for 2017.

I concentrate on the hurling, others can look after the football.

Some tasty matches this coming Sunday.

Tipperary V Offaly Poor offaly are on a hiding here. Tipperary don't do kind or nice.

Limerick V Cork Cork are trying to start on the comeback trail. Some good performances so far. That Luke Meade looks promising for them. Limerick again take their eye off the ball with their first round defeat by Wexford. Cost them promotion again. Cork at home to edge it.

Wexford V Kilkenny Wexford on a roll at this stage however it will end here. Kilkenny to win. All not lost for Wexford just yet.

Galway V Waterford The Deise will fight to the end of matches as proved last Sunday. Galway have more to prove here. Waterford won league 2 seasons ago. When was Galway's last trophy win? Waterford to win.

Clare V Dublin If Clare can reproduce the form they showed against Kilkenny then they will retain their division 1 status. Worry is defence can be leaky. Dublin going with youth and they are coping quite well. Would a season in Division 1B help their progress even more? Clare to emerge however it will be tight.
