Hurling Final preview With Shane O'Donnell & Seamus Flanagan

Shane O'DonnellGUEST
think the easy answer is probably we can point to injuries and there was a number of players that kind of weren't getting on the pitch for some of those big games but I think it comes down to a couple of really really narrow margins like we look at our tip game we lost by a couple of points in the end there was so many opportunities to close that out I mean our first round against Cork we were a point up and Dave Mack catches the ball and sent her back in the last play of the game and just hand pass to a Cork lad and he gets fouled and suddenly it's a draw and So many small, can I imagine, either of those results would have actually probably pushed us through, and you can see Tip went through three in third in Munster and ended up in the other in final.

Shane O'DonnellGUEST
So the margins at Munster, championship level, are just so razor thin that you can point at so many things, but the gross answer, coming back around, is probably that we were struggling with some injuries and just probably weren't able to plug those gaps in the last five, ten minutes of those games.

Shane O'DonnellGUEST
So I'm starting to feel like it's just whatever I need to tell myself to go again the next year is what it's going to be.
