Galway are the 2011 All-Ireland hurling champions following a 3-14 to 1-10 win over Dublin at Semple Stadium this evening. The heartache of last year’s final was truly laid to rest following a workmanlike performance as the Dubs never played to their full potential, which will hurt them more than anything. Galway as expected named an unchanged side after they successfully overcame Limerick in the semi-final. Anthony Cunningham’s charges were determined to make amends for last year’s defeat and with ten of that side still available, motivation was not going to be a problem. Cunningham admitted before the game that...
Dublin’s under-21 hurlers make one change to their starting 15 for Saturday evening’s Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21HC final against Galway in Semple Stadium, Thurles (7pm). St Vincent’s clubman Thomas Connolly comes into the Dublin attack at left half-forward with Seán McGrath losing out. The Dublin v Galway clash will be preceded by the Bord Gáis Energy GAA Hurling U-21 All-Ireland ‘B’ Final between Kerry and Westmeath (5pm). DUBLIN (U21HC v Galway) – Ger McManus; Bill O’Carroll, Darren Kelly, Jack Doughan; Dean Curran, Liam Rushe, Martin Quilty; Conor Gough, Danny Sutcliffe; Daire Plunkett, Mark Schutte, Thomas Connolly; Kevin O’Loughlin, Niall...
Respective captains Liam Rushe of Dublin and Barry Daly of Galway in Thurles yesterday for the build-up to Saturday’s Bórd Gáis Under-21 All-Ireland hurling final. – (Photograph: Cathal Noonan/Inpho) SEÁN MORAN GAELIC GAMES NEWS: IT’S A busy week for the Bórd Gáis Energy GAA Under-21 hurling championship. The final takes place under lights in Thurles tomorrow evening, the second year of the new arrangement, making Semple Stadium the permanent home for the championship climax. Tuesday also saw Ger Cunningham, Bórd Gáis sponsorship manager, ratified as one of the new Cork management team to be headed by Jimmy Barry-Murphy. At yesterday’s media...
We will have two full buses heading for Thurles on Saturday afternoon. We hope many more people will travel by car and train to support our team. This team was not considered serious contenders at the beginning of the year. Both Kilkenny and Wexford were rated higher by the pundits. They have made great progress under the management of John McEvoy and are inspired by the leadership of Liam Rushe, RTE’s Sunday Game Hurler of the Year. ~What a great achievement to be in the All-Ireland final and only 60 minutes away from the title of All-Ireland champions. Galway are...

Well done to Liam Rushe, who was named the Young Hurler of the Year 2011 from the Sunday Game tonight after a fantastic season. Well deserved Liam, and commiserations to Declan Hannon from Limerick and Padraig Mahony from Waterford who were also in contention. Michael Fennelly from Kilkenny was awarded the Hurler of the Year from the Sunday Game’s panel....
Subject: Re: U 21 final at Thurles on September 10th Crazy – hurling under lights should only be absolute last resort. It’s too dangerous for players and unfair to spectators low down near sideline – sliothar keeps disappearing. Even a sunny September evening in Thurles at that hour is a lottery with Sun low in sky – pure daft. An All Ireland hurling final should be afforded proper status – mid afternoon with natural light and family friendly for trip home. Anybody(like me) thinking of using convenience of train may forget about it as you’re not back in town til...
Dublin hurlers’ disciplined display last Sunday shows they are edging tantalisingly close to winning an All-Ireland title, says Dermot Crowe of the Sunday Independent Just as it was hard to imagine him leaving Dublin after falling into momentary hell last year, it’s almost inconceivable that Anthony Daly will quit having glimpsed heaven last Sunday. Winning is everything of course — except it isn’t, or can’t possibly be, or we would have a very limited and disillusioned club of failures playing the games. There is performance and laying down markers and making meaningful progress. And Dublin hurling has made a serious...
Dublin 3-23 Antrim 0-6 Dublin are through to this year’s Bord Gais Energy All-Ireland under-21 hurling final following a comfortable win over Antrim at Newry this afternoon. Dublin were aiming to book their place in yet another final following the county’s minor hurlers already being in the All-Ireland decider where they will face Galway on the first Sunday in September. Hurling is on a massive high in the county at the moment and the Dubs know what it takes to reach a decider at this level. For Antrim, they entered the match with nothing to lose as the Dubs were...
Dublin boss John McEvoy is refusing to underestimate Antrim ahead of Saturday’s Bord Gais Energy All-Ireland U21HC semi-final in Newry. The young Dubs are strongly fancied to reach their fourth All-Ireland final in the grade and second in four years, but McEvoy was impressed by Antrim’s strong finish to the Ulster final against Armagh and is taking nothing for granted. “We went up to watch Antrim in the Ulster Final against Armagh and they are a very big and physical team. They finished the game very strongly and showed their obvious capabilities in the last ten minutes,” he told hill16.ie....
DANNY SUTCLIFFE is part of the new generation of Dublin hurlers – talented, confident and ambitious for All- Irelands, yet never letting his focus wander beyond the next match. And that next match is Antrim this Saturday in Newry, where a place in the Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21 final berth beckons for the winners. Virtually all the pundits expect that to be Dublin. Ditto the bookies. But Dublin hurling teams know what it’s like to enter an All-Ireland semi-final in the putative role of whipping boys, only to push overwhelming favourites to the brink. So too does Sutcliffe: he...
