In the Dark

Just a quick post to mention that this weekend saw the semi-finals of this year’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship at Croke Park.

Yesterday, after playing very poorly against Kilkenny in the first half,  Clare staged an epic comeback to create an exciting finish, eventually to win by two points (0-24 to 2-16).

Today’s semi-final was even better, with Cork pulling out all the stops against Limerick in the second half in a match that was played at an extraordinary tempo even by the standards of hurling. Cork ran out deserved winners by 1-28 to 0-29. Once again, only two points separated the sides.

Limerick were bidding to win their 5th All-Ireland championship in a row, but they have to settle for four, as the final in two weeks’ time will be between Cork and Clare.
