All Ireland Champs Tipp still look like the team to beat
The big three Kilkenny, Cork, and Tipperary have dominated the hurling scene for quite some time now, you have to go back to 1998 when the last non-superpower of hurling, Offaly, won the Liam McCarthy. Thirteen teams have ambitions to derail the current champions Tipperary but realistically only a handful have the talent to do so.
Lights, camera and hopefully action this time around
It has been a long hard winter in Kilkenny and I'm not just talking about the weather. The disappointment of not achieving the illusive five-in-a-row has been well and truly trashed out since last September.
2010 was the end of the five- in-a-row dream but what a run we have had
The year 2010 will be remembered for a lot of different reasons. From a national perspective the sight of the IMF coming in to bail out our financial affairs will live long in the memory.

Cats await Rebels in Croker semi
Kilkenny manager Brian Cody is set to name his team tonight (Friday) for Sunday's eagerly awaited All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final against Cork at Croke Park (3.30pm).
Nice day, good crowd, but Waterford’s attitude leads to poor game
The GAA's decision to scrap the scoring difference in favour of the head to head format left the association with egg on its face last weekend, as all bar one of the last round league games ended up being nothing more than glorified challenge matches. The only game of any real importance was the relegation battle between Dublin and Limerick.
