:eek: Wexford arent that bad man! Did you confuse it with football? Dubs have a great shout with a game already played and wexford looking a bit weak but surely wexford should be favourites

dotsflan

No i didnt confuse it with the football:D but i just think that on recent form dublin are overpriced i would of had them @ 4/5 and wexford 5/4 I think it will be a close game but dublin will be looking to avenge last years defeat to wexford!!

Offally +16 @ 10/11 with PP is a fantastic bet.

16 points is a huge margin. Kilkenny have a lot of injuries and while I'd expect them to go through without much hassle, a 16 point headstart for Offally is very good value

Good calls on both the Dublin and Offaly handicap betting.
Dublin had a good league and are steadily improving every year.

Previews taken from Hoganstand.com

Last year, when these sides met in the championship, Barry Lambert broke Dublin’s hearts with a late free to ensure a victory for Wexford by the narrowest of margins. The Dubs felt on that occasion that they should have won. On Saturday, they have the chance to prove that point. Tommy Naughton’s charges have been gearing themselves for this match all year and the facile win over Westmeath proves that they have taken a step in the right direction. The appearance in the 2007 All-Ireland under-21 final shows that the Dubs are making strides and with many of that side on show this weekend, they will be quietly confident of causing an upset against a Wexford side that is certainly going through a transition period. The Slayneysiders have their injury concerns as both Barry Lambert and Ciaran Kenny are definitely, while doubt surrounds the availability of Damien Fitzhenry, Keith Rossiter and Stephen Nolan. Wexford defeated Galway in a recent challenge match, but the Tribesmen were far from full strength. Confidence is low in the camp and there are rumours that all is not well. In contrast the Dubs are brimming with self-assurance and they will fee that they can capatilise on Wexford’s problems. The return of David O’Callaghan to the squad after he was with the footballers last year has been a huge boost and the St Margaret’s clubman has been in exceptional form. Wexford certainly have the tradition, but Dublin’s exuberance may just see them over the line.
Verdict: Dublin

Leinster hurling has been suffering a crisis of late as they lack of competition and Kilkenny’s dominance has become all too common. In the not so distant past, Offaly were more than a match for the Cats, but that has not been in the case in recent years. Kilkenny seem to have found another level, leaving all challengers in their wake, particularly in Leinster. Joe Dooley has been brought in to reduce the gulf in class and put the faithful county back up where they belong, at hurling’s top table. They seen off Laois in the quarterfinal with the minimum of fuss and Dooley’s young guns have shown that they know where the goal is. However, they face a mammoth task against a Kilkenny side that has one-eye on a third successive All-Ireland crown. Brian Cody has his fair share of injury concerns at present with James Ryall, John Tennyson and Henry Shefflin all out, while Noel Hickey, Richie Power, Jackie Tyrrell, Aidan Fogarty and PJ Delaney all doubtful. In saying that they have a number of players eager to come in and stake a claim in the side. The tight confines of Portlaoise may suit Offaly better, but experienced players like Brendan Murphy, Rory Hannify and Ger Oakley must lead by example. Captain Kevin Brady is a doubt and would be a huge loss if he doesn’t make it. Kilkenny’s strength in depth will be evident on Sunday as they qualify for yet another provincial decider.
Verdict: Kilkenny

Dubs threw away a glorious chance to get into the leinster final, game should of been over at half time but thats hurling:(

IrishMike

They were shocking.
Thought the Dublin full back almost lost the game single handedly, he had a nightmare.
Wexford should beat them in the replay if they play like they did in the second half.
2 Dublin corner forwards were outstanding.

Kavinsky

Dublin or Wexford.. Whoever wins the replay, Kilkenny will wipe the floor with them.
