Hello lads. I'm in Dublin with nothing to do for the day. Since Thurles is an hour away by train and there's two matches on (as well as two tomorrow), is it worth heading down to watch? Do the two games today feature good teams? I wouldn't know a whole lot about club hurling!

Two very good games today. Tomorrow with Sars v Nenagh is probably the game of the weekend.
Well worth watching the games today though if you have time to spare. Weather is fairly dry down here now and if rain holds off you should see two cracking games.

Mullinahone win by 1 point AET. Were 8 up with 12 minutes left though. Must have been a thriller. Will give them great confidence in the semi. Eoin Kelly with a tally of 2-7

Clonoulty v Loughmore currently in progress, 1-3 to 5 points Clonoulty ahead according to twitter

Thurles Sars, Moyne, St Marys, and Clonakenny won their intermediate quarters.

Thanks for the advice, robbiezero. I went to the games after all. The Mullinahone - Kildangan game was a very exciting contest that got better as it went on. The Kil fightback in the last few minutes of normal time was terrific.

I got the first half of Loughmore's game before leaving at the start of the second half to get an earlier train back to Dublin. Well worth the trip down.

Like old times for Eoin Kelly,great stuff from him.

Who stood out for you?

Stlll a very vital cog in the wheel for Mullinahone but his county days are numbered to be honest. Great to see the other Mullinahone lads are starting to take the burden off him. Micheal Dunne is still a minor and he popped up with 1-3 i believe?

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 3:41pm

Gar's brother and Tomas Stapleton's brother Brian Staptleon will have to be looked at again for the wing forward roles specially - we need more competition there

ReacherCreature · 19-10-2014 5:09pm

Still a vital cog yes but he missed at least three frees, one very pointable and drifted in and out of the game but the moments he had the ball, he was influential, I knew immediately when he was in front of the keeper for the second that it would be a goal, that's Kelly for you.

Also, I don't know how the folks from Loughmore-Castleiney hear a bad word about Noel McGrath, he is very obviously their darling!

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:21pm

Hate to see any player miss a free like that...extra time it is

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:22pm

John Fitzgerald roaring at Aidan McCormack while he took free!! Not a thing anyone likes to see.

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:37pm

The Templederry man Paul Ryan doing the stuff for Nenagh

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:45pm

Co Senior Hurling Championship
Quarter Final H/T in Extra Time
Nenagh Eire og 0.18
Thurles Sarsfields 0.17

Mantis Toboggan · 19-10-2014 5:49pm

Sounds like a belter.

How are the county players going?

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:50pm

Redser is on...

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:51pm

19-19....as tense as it gets

19-10-2014 5:58pm

Cheers for the updates ET. Sounds like a tense encounter if not much in terms of scoring.

19-10-2014 5:59pm

And it looks like Aidan McCormack has redeemed himself at the death

20-19. Wow. Thurles will fancy their chances now but id imagine would prefer one of Mullinahone or Templederry in the semi. Gutting for Nenagh really who are emerging as a strong force

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 5:59pm

Pa wins it with a long ranger - 95 yards

Mantis Toboggan · 19-10-2014 6:06pm

Loughmore vs mullinahone
Sars vs templederry

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 6:18pm

Lough v Sars....would be the obvious choice....but you never know

Oh it was Pa?

Twitter had said Aidan McCormack

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 6:36pm

To me - it looked like Pa - actually it probably was McCormack seen as he was taking them all day!!!

Thats a really good article. Some very sound points made there. Hopefully EOS will stay on but hopefully he'll learn from this year and redress the issues that need ironing out.

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 7:55pm

I don't think the buck just stops with Eamon - personally I think its a two year job at the very least - to bring players on now - especially at wing forward and in the corners - if we're looking to build a team that will last with structures in place and not just win it one year and fade away

I thought the point about Eamon wanting a particular successor but him not being available was very interesting - glad to read that William Maher is being considered

Oh absolutely, and its great that we are planning ahead and thinking of successors for a change and not just taking a 'wait and see' attitude. We were left holding our dicks after Liam, Eamon and Michael left in 2010. We seem to have learned from that situation.

evolving tipperary · 19-10-2014 10:18pm

Paddy Murphy got three points off Michael Cahill -

Denis Maher got one point.

The hefferans got three points each from play - Michael got a few more frees and a sideline

Padraic Maher made a vital block on Michael Heff preventing a goal in the first half

Aidan McCormack got about 13, about five from play - stand out player - but not a senior county man - under 21 last year

The two Ryans went to town in the earlier game

Paddy Murphy was marking Padraic Maher for at least 2 of those points.
