Pitchers from Limerick and footballers from Donegal and Dublin have proven to be the kings of the “quarters of water” in the Championship so far.
The water quarters, the periods after half-time breaks for players to drink fluids, have been dominated by those three teams.
In all but the fourth quarter against Tipperary when they started when they finished nine points ahead, John Kiely’s Limerick team has been better in scoring in the first and third quarters in their three games.
In their two outings, Dublin has won three of those quarters so far, as has Donegal, while their Ulster final opponent Cavan has been the most impressive soccer team in the fourth quarter, winning all three by one. average of more than four points.
Limerick aside, only Tipperary has yet to lose the fourth quarter of the Liam MacCarthy Cup and, were it not for Seamus’ late goal, Flanagan would have won both periods against Limerick and Cork.
Perhaps troubling for Clare, they have been outscored in the final three quarters by Limerick, Laois and Wexford, though they faced a gale in the second half of their most recent match at Portlaoise last Saturday.
At least Clare has won the second two quarters, while her quarterfinal opponents from Ireland this weekend, Waterford, have been stronger against Cork and Limerick in the first and third quarters, losing the second and fourth in both. occasions.
Galway took advantage of the first half interlude to win the period before the break against Wexford and Kilkenny. While Tipperary has been poorer in the second quarters in clashes with Limerick and Cork.
Tipperary footballers have also been the weakest in the roughly 20 minutes after the first half water break, losing both sections of the game to Clare and Limerick.
Despite a slow start against Kildare, none of the seven remaining soccer teams have finished a more empathetic game than Meath, beating Wicklow and Lilywhites by a total of 23 points in that span.
