"Last four standing. And by Sunday evening, that number will have been whittled down to two. But, as it stands, our surviving 'Fab Four' have shared the princely total of one AIB All-Ireland club senior hurling title between them."
"That team was Ballygunner, thanks to the wonder of Harry 'Houdini' Ruddle almost four years ago. The fact that they are currently odds-on favourites to land the Tommy Moore Cup again in January tells you a few things."
Four teams remain in the competition, with that quartet set to be reduced to two by Sunday evening. The surviving sides share a combined total of one AIB All-Ireland club senior hurling title between them. That single title belongs to Ballygunner, secured almost four years ago by a remarkable, escape-like effort from Harry 'Houdini' Ruddle. Ballygunner now start the upcoming Tommy Moore Cup in January as odds-on favourites to claim the trophy again. The remaining teams enter matches without All-Ireland club senior titles, so every game carries significant opportunity and uncertainty ahead of the concluding fixtures.
