These five counties may see some importance in the NHL this spring.

Since Ger Cunningham has resigned as Dublin hurling manager, there has been great speculation as to a potential successor. The Corkonian left after an underwhelming three seasons in the capital, as the Boys in Blue look to make their way back to the sport’s top table. Several names have been thrown about for the job, including Cuala’s All-Ireland winning manager …

Waterford’s win over Wexford was an exciting game, but skill level wasn’t what you would expect from an All-Ireland quarter-final. We all knew going into it that it was going to be a battle of the sweepers, and that it wasn’t going to be the most aesthetically pleasing spectacle. What it came down to was Waterford being on the road …

Ger Cunningham resigned as Dublin senior hurling manager today after three years in charge. During that tenure Cunningham had little success and unfortunately oversaw some turmoil. Now that he has left his post, we take a look at five potential candidates for the position. Though the prospect of managing the Dublin hurlers may not be as appealing as it’s been …

Ger Cunningham has stepped down as manager of the Dublin senior hurlers after three years at the helm. The Cork native took the reins at the start of 2015, but failed to push on from, nor indeed hit the heights of the Anthony Daly era. A quarter-final loss to Waterford in 2015 was as good as things got for the St …

With just five games to go in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, we take a look at the latest pecking order as the race for the Liam MacCarthy Cup turns for home. 1. Galway (no change) The Tribesmen continued to impress in the Leinster final, as they upped it a gear in the second half to blow Wexford away with …

This weekend will see at least one major hurling county eliminated from the championship. Not only this but we will also see either Galway or Wexford crowned Leinster champions. Christy Ring Cup champions Carlow were eliminated from the championship last weekend when there were beaten by Laois in the preliminary round of qualifiers. This week we will see four more …

With all teams up and running in the race for the Liam McCarthy Cup, we take a look at the latest pecking order in hurling. 1. Galway (no change) The Tribesmen are All-Ireland favourites, and justifiably so after the demolitions of Dublin and Offaly. The men in maroon have a physicality which is telling, while clutch players such as Daithí Burke, David …

Shades of 2013 shine through this amazing 2017 senior hurling championship. To the delight of hurling fans, we appear to be looking at the most open championship in years. All-Ireland champions Tipperary were due to steam roll through this years championship, where are they? The qualifiers. OK, so Tipperary are gone, Kilkenny must now be favourites right? Wrong, they are …

In this week’s Teamsheet Tuesday we cast our minds back to 2013, when Dublin won the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship for the first time since 1961, overcoming Galway in the final at Croke Park on a scoreline of 2-25 to 2-12.  The Dubs, led by Anthony Daly who was spearheading a revolution in the capital’s hurling fortunes, were full value …

Galway were impressive yesterday in Tullamore, but the real story of the day was Dublin. Dublin hurling is after going back ten years. They were so poor in around midfield and half forward line yesterday. The quality is not really there at the moment. It’s hard to see what Ger Cunningham is doing up there. He got rid of a lot of …

Ger Loughnane has launched a scathing attack on Dublin hurling in the wake of their heavy defeat to Galway in yesterday’s Leinster quarter-final in Tullamore.  Defending manager Ger Cunningham, the Clare-man used his Irish Daily Star newspaper column to criticise some of the older guard in the panel.  Dublin won the National League in 2011 and a Leinster Championship in 2013, …

The Dublin hurlers enter the Leinster Championship on Sunday with some less-than-ideal preparations. Following a winter where former players spoke out in the media against the current regime, the Boys in Blue were relegated from Division 1A of the League. The return of the Cuala cohort, who won the All-Ireland Club Championship, will be a boost to the team, but the …

Big news emerging from the capital this morning is that Mark Schutte has opted to join up with the Dublin senior football squad, having departed the hurling set-up earlier this year.  Schutte chose not to rejoin Ger Cunningham’s senior hurling outfit after claiming All Ireland club senior hurling honours with his club, Cuala, on St. Patrick’s Day in Croke Park. …

The Dublin senior hurlers have been dealt another massive blow ahead of their 2017 championship campaign.  Having been relegated from Division 1A of the National Hurling League, the Dubs are now set to tackle this year’s championship without two key panel members. The Schutte brothers, Mark and Paul have opted not to line out for the county this summer. The …
