Hurling Chat Sept 9th

On our weekly Hurling Chat Podcast this week, McDara McDonnacha and Joe Hession join the lads to discuss all things hurling.
McDara casts his eye over Ballygunner’s continued dominance in Waterford and looks at:
· The All Ireland Club champions were fully tested by Fourmilewater 
· The impact of Ballygunner’s dominance; 13 titles in a row and a second Senior team 
· Club hurling over in Waterford by the end of August!
Then Joe Hession looks ahead to Round 3 of the Senior & Premier Intermediate Championships upcoming at the weekend:
· The final 12 teams will be known in both championships by Sunday evening 
· Who will join Tommie Larkins and Athenry directly in the Senior quarter finals? And Skehana Mountbellew Moylough & Ballinderreen in the Premier Intermediate quarters? 
· Big implications in some games: For instance Castlegar v Oranmore Maree and Carnmore v Killimor – winner into knockouts (though draw will do Castlegar), with loser into relegation.
