		<description><![CDATA[A drawn All-Ireland hurling final was long overdue, the last one having been between Kilkenny and Waterford in 1959. Like in all drawn matches, both sets of supporters wondered after whether their team could have edged victory. To help settle some of these debates I created this visual timeline of the shots and scores.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of the year when I do my annual round-up of the championship newcomers. In 2012 80 players made their championship debuts, 2 more than last year. In fact there has been an upward trend over the past 4 years:

2012 80
2011 78
2010 67
2009 61

Galway had most newcomers with 12 and the Tribesmen&#8217;s youth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last 24 hours, Lar Corbett and John Mullane have announced that they are leaving senior inter-county hurling. Mullane is taking an indefinite break but Corbett looks like he is hanging up his inter-county boots for good. 
Everyone knows that Corbett and Mullane are in the top echelon of hurling forwards but it acutally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was asked on Twitter today whether John Mullane is close to becoming the all-time top scorer from play in championship hurling. Unfortunately I don&#8217;t have all the records to answer that question definitively. What I can say is the Mullane is the top scorer from play since 2004.

What the stats revealed was that Kilkenny had never gone in at half time behind. All that came to a shuddering end on the 5th of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it is safe to assume that no player is going to make his championship debut on Sunday&#8217;s All-Ireland final; if so, the 2011 season will see 78 players make their championship debuts. This is 11 more than in 2010 and 17 more than 2009.
Why the big jump? Well the county with most newcomers [...]]]></description>
