    Can Limerick Win The All Ireland hurling Final

    After watching Limerick beat Tipp yesterday i am asking you do you believe that Limerick can go all the way and win the 2007 All Ireland ...... i think that they can if their forwards improve as they have scored only two goals in the championship so far this year

    Yes yes yes. Come on Limerick!

    Id love to see them win it, but no, it wont happen.
    The game yesterday, while exciting, must be seen in the context as a battle between two teams, who between them would rank no further than 4th best in the country.
    The best team is Kilkenny, followed by a tie between Waterford/full strength Cork, and then Galway.
    There's a big gap to Galway, mind.

    Kilkenny, Cork and Waterford and maybe Galway would be favourites.
    Limerick will probably have to beat at least 2 of the above (in All-Ireland semis and final) to win it out.
    A big ask.
    Would love to see Limerick do it (went to college there) but don't believe they will. It would be good for hurling though.
    This year (as a neutral) will be hoping for a Waterford win. Also good for hurling as it would break the Cork/Kilkenney duopoly. They also have a more realistic chance than Limerick to go the distance.

    Yes a little bit ahead of yourselves i think. I'd fancy waterford's chances this year. And once again you may see clare ressurect for a small bit, building all our hopes up, then dying miserably in the second half of a game against anyone half-decent.

    The fact that they've now played 2 extra matches that both went to extra time is a big disadvantage - but thats sport innit

    No, they won't beat Waterford. Galway have more chance than Limerick of lifting Liam

    Great result by Limerick but the pace and level of skill shown in the Limerick-Tipp games were well below that of Waterford-Cork and Kilkenny are at a higher level again.

    Yup.
    Limerick will live with Waterford for 50 minutes.
    Goals win games, Waterford get goals, and that will be that.
