SEVEN GOALS, 123 points, over 180 minutes of relentless action and a couple of extra-time thrillers.
It was a hurling weekend to savour in Croke Park with Clare and Galway proving inseparable on Saturday night, while Limerick edged out Cork after another cracker yesterday afternoon.
Clare, Galway, Limerick and Cork served up terrific hurling entertainment this weekend. INPHO

Mid-August 2016 saw a weekend produce two enthralling semi-final ties as Kilkenny defeated Waterford in a Saturday night replay in Thurles and Tipperary saw off Galway in a Sunday showdown in Croke Park.
That was a high water mark for a 24-hour period of hurling but the last couple of days surpassed that with games of stunning entertainment.
Like all the rest of hurling fans, an array of inter-county GAA figures were engrossed with action served up.

So many great moments but from a Limerick viewpoint one of the best must be their team & Management in a circle on the pitch at the end, victorious, with The Cranberries being belted out over the speakers #CORvLIM
Hurling would want to take a good long look at itself... it’s not happy with the supporters it has but it’s trying to convert everyone else as well! What a weekend 👏🏻
Only winners today was the spectators 🤩🤩 and what a year it is for hurling. No team deserved to lose today. Fair result to go again next week. Here hoping for a similar ripper of a game tomorrow. #GALvCLA#styleofplay
Epic Game ... edge of the seat stuff and Kk not even playing 👏👏 .. fair play to both teams @GaaClare@Galway_GAA. Injuries could play a part in replay..
