In that way we can keep the resolution of the photos high and the size of both sections will be less than one megabyte. Part one is the magazine section and part two is the weekend roundup. The three Cup Finals in Croke Park provided some fine hurling but the crowd was just under 4,000 so it is probably back to the drawing board for those finals. Each needs to be played as a curtain raiser to a game from the Liam McCarthy Championship to create the right atmosphere. The Munster Final had patches of fine hurling and some fine individual displays but lacked the intensity of former classics. Both teams Tipperary and Waterford are continu - ing to make progress. Tipperary still look the best challenger to the champions but Wa - terford battled with heart and could yet make a final four berth. Best wishes ‘til next week from Hurling World.

  • 2 Field of Dreams
    2 FIELD OF DREAMS Sunday,FIELD OF DREAMS 15 July 1984. There were just five minutes left. The swaying, heaving, seething Tipperary crowd could almost taste the triumph. It had been thirteen long years since their last victory over the old enemy to the south. Many of the schoolchildren now screaming themselves hoarse around Semple Stadium couldn’t even remember a time when Tipperary were Munster champions, let alone All-Ireland holders. And yet glory now beckoned – and the sweet intoxication of beating Cork. Around the ground a slow hum of anticipation began to build – a living, breathing homage to Raymond Smith’s famous declaration that there was no sporting cathedral in the world like Thurles on a Munster championship Sunday. Fans tore their eyes away from the pitch to desperately check the time. Not long now. Yet in almost every blue-and-gold stomach a tight knot of icy apprehension defied the logic of time. ‘There isn’t time for Cork to come back – is there?’ A few fans were worried by the thought: Tipperary, after all, had themselves beaten Clare in the semi-final four weeks before, thanks to a last-minute Liam Maher goal after a penalty had been won by Nicky English. Ger Loughnane’s Clare were two points up and apparently destined for the Munster final, with the clock running down, when Tipp struck. But Tipp fans took heart from the sight of the Cork crowd, dozens of whom were now giving up the match for lost and streaming towards their cars and the train station in a bid to beat the traffic.
