Very happy Waterford supporter now, thought we were dead and buried at HT but f**k me we turned it around. Very good achievement but I think winning the final is the only way to fully justify it and please god we do it. Anytime we beat Kilkenny in the championship is special.

Think Galway will do it tomorrow and it will be a repeat of 2017. Eitherway its lift for everyone in the country of Waterford and Galway/Limerick along with all GAA fans

Decent game. Didn’t give Waterford a chance and they were brilliant second half. Have to say tho KK were extremely poor the second half. Was like they had 13 men. Waterford were just running through their half back line. Anyway good to see them in the final they have some lovely players as they have always had down through the years and anyone in hurling knows they are better than they are the last few years. I remember been in Walsh park last year and we beat them by 20 odd points difference specially in first half playing into a gale. Easiest game ever but there was no way Waterford were that bad.
Anyway onto today, really interesting battle. Shane o Neil knows this Limerick team better than anyone else. Take out Tony Kelly and Clare were dirt poor when we played them. Tipp weren’t great either. Waterford best we have played but even tho they ran us close I always felt we had extra few gears of needed. In that form line Galway will be disappointed with the showing against Kilkenny, but hurled brilliantly at times against Tipp but no doubt sending off changed things. We should win but when it comes to sport and then specially hurling can’t take anything for granted.
The Saturday night hurling is a joy to watch. Brilliant sat night entertainment. Don’t know the last Saturday night I watched a premier league game. It’s great to see.

Couldn't have asked for a better championship considering the year that's in it. Would it be fair to call this the new golden era for hurling like the 90's?

Waterford and Limerick have never met in the final. Would be something else if the Deise bridged a 61 year gap the same year Tipp bridged an 85 year gap.

Waterford 
Tipp 
Limerick 
Galway 

We could be looking at 4 different winners in 4 years.

It's a great generation alright. You can trace it back to the 2013/14 minor championships, same final 4 in both those minor years and this year's senior.

Limerick minors those years had Cian Lych, Tom Morrissey, Darragh O'Donovan
Waterford had Austin Gleeson and Stephen Bennett
Kilkenny had Liam Blanchford
Galway had Conor Whelan

They've all been playing each other so much at so many different levels, they really have raised the levels together.

Tipp wont like playing in those conditions unfortunately but with it being a sort of knockout, really any team could be in with a shout
Hopefully, Kilkenny love that kind of weather 

Its hard to knw will it even bloody go ahead with the way this virus is going and the weather too

So Sep will be the start of both championship 2020 and pre season for 2021

Theres many more than what you have mentioned also, Conor Delaney, Billy Ryan, John Donnelly to name a few started all of Kilkennys games this year they won the minor one of those years. Galway a bit slower to get players through but Loftus, Concannon and a few others coming through this year

Then you have someone like Joe Canning still playing who won his first All Ireland minor medal in 2004! That’s a long time to be playing at the top level maybe just another year left and overtake Shefflin as the championships top scorer.

Still buzzing and can't wait for the final on the 13th. Waterford please please please do it and end the famine 

Its going to be difficult and we have too play like we did against Kilkenny in 2nd half for the whole game. Limerick could do untold damage if they control the first half and no comeback will work. Hopefully we learnt from the Munster final 

Fergal Horgan as the ref is a disaster and it should of been a Leinster ref

Come on the Deise, great excitement around the place going by social media. Def quite a unique All Ireland and will always be remembered no matter the result. Limerick are some team and could easily blow us away on the day if everything clicks. Lets hope its a classic with Waterford coming out the winners 

Antrim vs Kerry in the JM cup final will be another great game and will be delighted for whoever wins. Football is the dominant sport in those counties but the Hurling areas are quite strong and passionate as anywhere in the country

Football is definitely not the dominant code in Antrim.

I don't think that's right. What was meant to happen was McD cup was to be played off earlier in the year and finalists would enter McCarthy Cup at qualifier stage. As that didn't happen, as I understand, there is no promotion from it this year.

So it is although intriguingly if Kerry win next year they go into Munster (Also Mea Cupla. If things weren't changed this year Kerry would playoff against the bottom Munster team and not go into Leinster)

Think there still is promotion this year and the winner will go into the Leinster round robin for 2021 (even Kerry as farcical as it is) but then again nobody has a clue whats happening for 2021 and the championship could be knockout again

According to Wikipedia, if Kerry win they playoff with worst Munster team for a place in next years provincial. If Antrim win we're back in Leinster at someone's expense ( Laois?).

f**k knows.
