Barry Nash’s absence felt as Cork stall Limerick’s drive for five | The Throw-In Hurling show

It will be a Cork v Clare All-Ireland final, and the Throw-In’s regular trio of John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney teamed up to break down how each team made it over the line.
Limerick’s drive for five stalled after a thriller with the Rebels - John asks if they were too slow to make the changes needed to keep pace with a Cork team who have the right pieces coming together at the right time.
Meanwhile, Clare’s 16th man made their presence known as Kilkenny were toppled on Saturday, Eddie remarks that free-taking made the difference here.
Elsewhere, the quality of hurling is such that we need more of it - will the GAA give it to us?

Great win Cork, absolutely amazing, All Ireland in the first week of September always special made the winter short!

[@fonz114]

Well done Cork. I don't agree with what some people are saying I think Limerick will be there for next 3,4 yrs and have at least 1 possibly 2 more All Irelands in them,

[@daveruby7415]

100% this rivalry is just stepping up to another limerick.

A wonderful exhibition of hurling ....best game in the world...fair play to all .

[@paulkirby2761]

There's big pressure on Cork now imho and here's why. If Cork don't beat Clare, they'll have beaten Limerick twice yet Limerick won the Munster title, and will have lost to the same Clare side Limerick comfortably beat to get that Munster title. It basically translates into Cork beating the best team twice and having f-all to show for it. That's going to hurt beyond belief. But here's the thing. Just because Cork beat Limerick, and Limerick beat Clare, that doesn't mean Cork beat Clare. That's not how sport works. They're a different match up, different man on man pairings, different individual skillsets, different approaches and tactics. Can Cork beat Clare? Absolutely, but it ain't no gimme just because they beat the team that beat Clare, and Clare are absolutely capable of beating Cork in a one match winner takes all shootout.

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

nah i wouldn't say pressure it's a team that's fought their way through the championship very battle hardened and are ready for the big show

[@aidanoleary636]

Eddie is spot on about the promotion. FIRST bloody thing to do is put the earlier games ALL on free to air.

[@timsmusic7349]

Good game but absolutely nothing like the 1984 Cork Tipp Munster final at Simple Stadium in Tipp. The all Ireland was played in Thurlus that year because of the centennial and Tipp wanted it soooo bad. I know that most people here are too young to have seen that game but the excitement was second to none.

[@Castlelong333]

I don't agree, ,

[@timsmusic7349]

@@Castlelong333 If you lived I that era, that game was building up to a boiling point for years. In fact, I don’t even remember the all Ireland which I think Cork actually won. Can’t believe it was 40 years ago this year. I was watching it in Cork with a few lads from Tipp. There was doors kicked in. I’ll never forget the frustration. No game before or since drove lads over the edge. It was so epic that so people could never mention that game since. To be fair, I live in CA these days and there’s no one watching hurling around my neck of the woods. All the Irish crowd can’t be bothered.

[@Castlelong333]

@@timsmusic7349 I have watched the game only recently, yes it was a great game for its time , best game ever on tv up to that time , but the game is faster and more skilful now , players super fit , but ok you were there and have great memories, which is all that really matters, , I was at the 1984 All Ireland final, it was my first final,

[@timsmusic7349]

@@Castlelong333 At the first and only final outside Dublin, what a trip to remember. Remember. Lucky chance to have. Good man yourself. I completely agree that the game on the field is totally different but the fan experience must be similar. Especially when there wasn’t much else besides hurling and music. I haven’t lived in Ireland since the late 80. I drop in to see family once a year for a week. We were hoping and praying that Ireland would be sending a team to the WC in 26. Any chance? I’d love to see an Irish crowd. They travel well.

[@Castlelong333]

@@timsmusic7349 well just for the info , the first all Ireland hurling final was between Tipperary and Galway in Birr Co Offaly, , now there is Tesco on the field were it was played, such a shame , my memory of the 84 final was Cork always being better than Offaly ,, who did win it the year after

From a Cork guy, not a chance is Kiely stepping down They lost an incredibly tight game by 2 points that man has won 5 All Irelands 7 Munster Titles and 3 league titles as a manager By far, the best manager Limerick has ever had and probably ever will have The really insane stat all 3 final groups combined League Munster All Ireland He's led Limerick to 15 finals, and they are unbeaten in all of them 15-0 insane statistic He's also only 52 Brian Cody was 68 when he retired from Kilkenny tbf part of that was Kilkennys barren spell At the time he stepped down, they had not won an all ireland in 7 years and had lost 3 all Ireland finals in that timeline 2016,2019,2022

[@user-pt9lt7kd8u]

Keeping Kyle Hayes showed basic lack of judgement so wouldn't credit Kiely with too much other than keeping in with JP McMcManus. Guy should be in jail not Croke Park. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Brian Cody would have kept him on the panel too but I doubt it. Christ almighty ye were saying at one stage he could have player of the year! What world are ye living in?
