The article discusses the surprising dynamics of the senior hurling championship as it reaches its final phase with only four teams left. It reflects on the unexpected absence of last year's champions and the early end to Limerick's season, creating a unique environment for the remaining teams. Envisioning Cork's resurgence, the narrative emphasizes their pivotal opportunity to redeem past mistakes as they aim for another title. This situation showcases the unpredictable nature of championship play, particularly in a traditionally competitive sport like hurling.
So here we are, on the last day of June, and there's only four teams left in the senior hurling championship. That still doesn't sit right with me, but it's a drum I've beaten before - and will again.
Hands up who predicted this final four? Limerick are on an extended summer break, while the All-Ireland champions wrapped up their season five whole weeks ago.
The one certainty most had was that Cork would come back strong and here they are, on the brink of another final, with a chance to right the wrongs of 2024.
