    a big........ PHEW

    very good result given so long with 14 men.
    Offaly will no doubt be disgusted given their amount of bad wides!

    Should there have been more than the one minute added? Cork will be delighted to escape with a win. Good result considering the Pa Cronin sending off. Championship so far has been very even apart from the Laois hammering last weekend.

    what did Cronin do ?

    apparently he swung back with the hurley - instant red.

    Cork very lucky but a win is a win as they say! Major improvement needed before July 9th in their next game.

    I would like to think they will be better plus alot of the game was with 14 men.
    I would prefer to get Galway or Wexford than Limerick or Clare for that game.

    Me too. Was quite impressed with both Limerick and Clare. The more games they play the better they will get.

    I think we have a few worries on our hands. Cronin will be a loss, with kenny not firing a full throttle at the moment, the likely replacement.

    Cadogan was shakey at times, and not as commanding as he has been in the past. Teams will almost certainly look to try an exploit this.

    On the plus side, hoggy was class again today.... a scoring machine!

    Seriously looking forward to Sunday. Going down to Killarney is second only to Thurles on Munster final day. It's a great location and there is always savage banter between the fans. As always, Cork will bring a large following to the Kingdom and this year, as with recent years, they'll travel in a confident mood.
    I am expecting a tight enough game but for once I reckon Cork will bang in a few goals against Kerry and pull away to win by 5 or 6 - a bold prediction given our history in Killarney, but this time we travel across the county bounds as All Ireland Champions!!!!

    Kilarney is a better occasion than Thurles IMO

    I'd favour Thurles. There is a savage atmosphere in the town centre and as you walk up to and back from the match. Killarney has a great atmosphere with a wonderful backdrop but there is something special about Thurles. Either way, it's very easy to look forward to a trip across the border!!

    The team to go into battle on Sunday has been named......


    1. Alan Quirke

    2. Jamie O'Sullivan 3. Graham Canty 4. Michael Shields


    5. Noel O'Leary 6. John Miskella 7. Paudie Kissane


    8. Alan O'Connor 9. Aidan Walsh


    10. Ciarán Sheehan 11. Patrick Kelly 12. Pearse O'Neil


    13. Daniel Goulding 14. Donncha O'Connor 15. Paul Kerrigan


    Very solid looking team I think, well capable of securing a victory over the auld enemy.
    Delighted Canty is back to lead the team. I think that forward line will score a few goals. The defence has always been fairly reliable. Roll on Sunday !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 802 ✭✭✭Rebel1977


    Agree. Plus you have the likes of Cadogan, Carey, Nicky, Gould etc on the bench if needs be.


  • Registered Users Posts: 372 ✭✭ontheditch2


    Have to say, i prefer Killarney way more than Thurles.

    I am mid 20s, Hurling background, but i feel the Cork Footballers have a more cultured clientele supporting them. In Thurles you are likely to see young lads flaming drunk making a show of themselves on the square. You never have that type of carry on in Killarney. Lads with no tops on, pissing in the streets and leaving a general mess behind, is common in Thurles. In the terrace, i am after seeing at least 3 fights between groups of cork fans. I never seen anything like that in Killarney.

    Maybe Thurles just became too common during the Glory years of the mid 00's and i seen more of this carry on.

    Very true, our bench is ridiculously strong. My only gripe is the 2pm start, much prefer the extra drinking/socialising the 4pm gives you:D

    1-17 each at HT in ET - odds on a replay?


  • Registered Users Posts: 802 ✭✭✭Rebel1977


    Looks like a tight one


  • Registered Users Posts: 802 ✭✭✭Rebel1977


    Blackrock 1-17 Dromina 3-9
    Milford 2-13 Cobh 1-6


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭dartbhoy


    Ballinhassig and Cloyne ended in a draw 1-18 each. William Egan's team Kilbrin surprisingly beaten tonight by 2 points in Duhallow junior hurling championship by Tullylease.

    Yeah there wasn't much between them all night.
    Very good win for Tullylease though.

    Kilbrin ran last year's All Ireland junior champions Meelin to a point in last year's Duhallow final and were fully expected to win Duhallow easily this year but Kilbrin for me have 15 players who play as individuals and have no heart when the chips are down. Also heard Egan is not happy there.

    As for the intermediate hurling Dromina and Cobh would have been 2 of the favourites before the championship to contest the relegation final.

    Cobh have been going down hill for a while and will probably go down I'd say.
    Haven't heard about Egan being píssed off - he can concentrate on the county team now and hope his club team just had a blip of a year.
