Galway to Put Disinterested Waterford to the Sword - Hurling Preview

Galway to beat Waterford 3 pt stake @ 10/11 (Stan James, some local bookies)
Galway to score over 22.5 points 2.5 pt stake @ 4/5 (Paddy Power)

We are all over Galway this weekend here at Bear. Following their 3 point victory over Limerick last weekend, we expect the Tribesman to lay down a marker for the upcoming championship. Throughout their campaign thus far, they have scored on average 30 points per game admittedly against some weaker opposition. They have scored 24 and 22 points against the stronger teams Limerick and Wexford. We fully expect Canning, Mannion & co. to catch fire here. They will be disappointed to have missed out on promotion from 1B, they need to show this weekend that they are a 1A team.

Kerry 0-12 1-22 Galway
Galway 3-31 1-11 Laois
Galway 3-13 1-21 Wexford
Offaly 1-12 6-23 Galway
Limerick 1-18 Galway 0-24

Our confidence in Galway is solidified by Waterfords team selection. Derek McGrath has hinted in interviews over the past few months that the league is not high on their priority list. Once relegation fears were extinguished last Sunday, the pressure is now off. Their team shows 9 changes from last Sunday and features 4 debutants and Galway will name a strong team. They have conceded over 23 points in their past 2 games. Galway opened at 5/6 to win this in Paddy Powers, they are now 4/11. Shop around, some local bookies are still offering 10/11. We recommend a 3 pt stake on Galway to win this (10/11) and to score over 22.5 points (4/5)

Clare 1-22 Waterford 2-21
Waterford 1-13 1-21 Cork
Dublin 1-17 2-19 Waterford
Waterford 0-15 1-18 Tipperary
Kilkenny 0-17 1-15 Waterford



Waterford team: Ian O'Regan; Shane Fives, Kieran Bennett, Shane McNulty; Tadhg de Burca, Seamus Keating, Conor Gleeson; Mark O'Brien, Tommy Ryan; Kevin Moran, Stephen Roche, DJ Foran; Tom Devine, Stephen Bennett, Maurice Shanahan.
