Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney look at Ballyhale’s huge win over Dicksboro, Davy Fitzgerald helping Sixmilebridge to another Clare title, semi-finals in Offaly, Laois and Galway, and all the big discussion points.
Ballyhale were as impressive as ever in waltzing their way to a Kilkenny three-in-a-row on Sunday.
The question posed on today’s Club Talk: Hurling is of the challenge posed by Dicksboro.

Glen Rovers will meet Blackrock in a Cork final for the first time in 42 years, with the Rockies seeing off UCC in their final-four clash.
