With the Leinster Final, 4 qualifiers and a whole schedule of Christy Ring and Nicky Rackard games on at the weekend there’s plenty of hurling action to keep us interested. The Dublin v Cork qualifier on Saturday is live on RTE 2 at 3.30pm as of course is the Kilkenny v Wexford Leinster Final at 4pm the following day. With a lot of heavy rain forecast over the week some of the games could turn into tough slogs which always opens up the possibility of upsets.

Kilkenny as would be expected are very short odds to beat Wexford, being available at around 1/14 while Wexford are around 7/1. We live in hope that Wexford will turn in a barn-storming performance and stun the cats but your head tells you that this will be an easy 10 point win for the champions.

Offaly seem to be a quite generous 5/1 against Tipp, given that Tipp are only a week off their devastating loss to Limerick. If Offaly can pull out a high tempo performance they could upset the odds there.

Galway are an unbackable 1/66 or 1/100 away to Laois and there’s no way you can see anything other than an easy Galway win there.

You can get 7/1 - 10/1 on Dublin to topple Cork. Dublin have certainly shown promise and playing in Parnell Park should help but it’s hard to see them being able to cope with Cork for 70 minutes, especially with the 3 combatants restored to goals and defence.

Clare have the long trip up north to face Antrim and while it’s always seen as a tough journey and a hard place to get a result, Clare seem to have a habit of knocking up big scores against the weaker teams.
