Na Piarsaigh of Limerick gave Cushendall a bit of a beating in the hurling. It was to be expected I suppose. I was out all day so I'm only watching now. I assume things get no better for Castlebar. Ballyboden absolutely destroying them. I thought Castlebar might win but they've absolutely shat the bed.
Ballyboden were only 5th favourites to win the Dub champ so for them to win the win the All Ireland was a bit of a shock and a true reflection on how strong some of the Dublin clubs are at the moment. I actually felt sorry for Castlebar, not nice for any club team to get hosed like that on national tv on a big day out for their club.
I had friends at the match from Mayo. I really felt for them. Cushendall too. They expected to do better. It's not as though Castlebar had a bunch of inexperienced players or anything.
