No shock that Kanturk beat Knocknagree though.

we are now 3 All Ireland Titles behind Kilkenny in the Hurling,

Kilkenny 33 Cork 30

Will we ever see the day that we will pass them out again? We have to get a team, first of all to compete in the All Ireland.

I remember when we were 4 ahead of them back in early 90 27-23 they won 10 AI since 1992 hard to believe.

You can never say never, least we have some chance now with JBM being in charge, but it wont happen overnight and more likely Kilkenny will add to their tally before we win another.

I always remembered my Dad was proud of our record, hopefully someday we will get it back.

But it will take time..

Donoughmore are Junior A Mid-Cork Football Champions after beating Dripsey 1-7 to 1-4 in Coachford yesterday.

I can guarantee there are a lot of sore heads around Donoughmore today :P

Not a misprint mo chara! It was a shock that they only scored 1-1 beside been beat! Danny Culloty's brother Sean coaches Rockchapel and is after turning them into a fine team,it should be a cracking final between themselves and Kanturk next Sunday in Rathcoole at 3 30.

One man Frank Murphy has overseen our decline from being the number 1 hurling county in ireland to where we are now.The only way back is to have an agenda free county board that will pick managers for our underage teams based on hurling reasons and not agendas to consolidate there power.

bensam · 07-09-2011 4:23pm

i think its unfair to blame frank for all ills in cork gaa,
he has many faults but at the end of the day its always easy to
blame frank, gerald, or denis walsh,
maybe people should just realise that last 5 years players
just havent been good enough,

bensam · 07-09-2011 4:28pm

how do people feel cork hurllers 04--06 would fare
v kilkenny of 07/11,
i honestly think standard has been raised considerably,
when cork won the two titles 20 points seemed to be good enough,
now that would fall well short,

ShamoBuc · 07-09-2011 9:30pm

Gutted to see that Walsh will be concentrating on the senior footballers next year. He will not be togging out for the hurlers. It was believed he would, but he now wants to give it his all to the footballers to get Sam back. A right let down to be honest. He is exactly the type of ball winning/scoring forward the hurlers need.
A big ptiy, hopefully after a quiet winter he might think again.

Just heard that myself - not that much of a shock that CIT won ( they have a fine team), but that is a fair old beating for Newtown - only scoring 1-7:eek:

dartbhoy · 11-09-2011 5:31pm

Results; Premier Intermediate football semi final Newmarket 0-8 St Vincents 0-6.
Avondhu Junior football championship final Mitchelstown 2-22 Clyda Rovers 1-5. Beara Junior football championship final Urhan 0-12 Garnish 0-12.

A great win for Newmarket. They were 20/1 at the bookies a few weeks ago to win the Premier Intermediate championship!

dartbhoy · 11-09-2011 5:35pm

Carrigtwohill have won the 2nd senior semi final defeating Midleton 1-10 to 0-9. A shock that Carrigtwohill have reached the final but fair play to them. They'll be representing Cork in the Munster club championship because CIT are not allowed.

ShamoBuc · 11-09-2011 5:41pm

Delighted for Carrig. Surprised they beat Midleton to be honest. I expect CIT - if they have a full team to pick from- to win the final. It will be interesting to see how Carrig get on in Munster. They can't exactly do worse than other teams in recent years.

It's impossible to see CIT losing the final if they have a full team. As for Carrigtwohill going out in Munster I wouldn't be brimming with confidence that they'll do well in it and they could possibly get a severe hiding in it but I hope they prove me wrong.

Why are CIT not allowed in Munster ? They are a Club not a division, didnt UCC get to All Ireland Club semi final last time they won county football

longpuck · 11-09-2011 8:57pm

Good to see some new teams braking trough in Cork. How many non Cork lads would CIT have? Its a bit sad to see the likes of the Barrs and Blackrock falling away however

CIT can represent Cork in the Munster and All-Ireland Club series if they win the Cork County Championship #gaa #corkgaa

dannypat · 11-09-2011 10:03pm

CIT are eligible to play in the Munster Club Championship just like UCC did in 1999 when they won the Cork County Senior Football C'hip & UCD have represented Dublin in recent years progressing to the Leinster Club C'ship after winning the Dublin Championship.

ShamoBuc · 11-09-2011 10:09pm

I thought it would have been Carrig but I'm glad it will be CIT ( I do think they will win with a bit to spare) and I reckon they could have a right lash off the club championship.
Bring on the club championship - as ever on TG4!!!

Tommy Quaid of Effin is the only player that featured out of the 18 that played for CIT today that is not from a Cork Club.
Pat O' Connor of Tubber in Co. Clare (current Clare Senior) has played in previous rounds but wasn't there today.

It will be intersting to see what extra players they will have as the college starts up again. O'Connor as mentioned, but I'd say there might be another couple available to them.

longpuck · 11-09-2011 10:23pm

How did CIT & UCC pick there players for the county championship? They hardy train over the summer do they?

Think there is some rule which prevents them from using new players, think they must pick players only from 2010/11 season.

First of all lads, give the petty squabbles a rest, it bores everyone.

Only students who were in college last year are eligable, so 1st years this year won/'t be able to play.

O Connor should be free, and they should have Colin Fennelly also, if they are not tied up with their clubs.

hey look to have a nice hurling team on paper, and while i think they will have too much for Carraig, i wouldn't be getting too far ahead and talking about munster yet, the County Final has to be won first..

To the actually question i asked. Do CIT & UCC train over the summer or whats the story?

It was on C103 fm yesterday that the winner of the Midleton v Carrigtwohill clash would represent the county in the Munster championship but this is not the case as I know now. Out of CIT's starting 15 Cork players make up 14 of the team with young Quaid from Limerick the only player outside the county.

CIT train once a week & play a challenge game too. If they can't get together for a game & a training session in a given week, they'll just train or have a practice game.

Lads what do you make of the standard of the senior hurling championship in Cork? Personally from going to games i think it has regressed over the last few years. Just asking as it popped into my head when answering someone on another thread

Be honest its been going downhill for past 20 years. There was a time when the top senior clubs in Cork could actually take on intercounty teams they were that strong

The club scene was probably at it's highest level in the 80's. There were several big clubs with teams that were of a very high standard. The standard now is fairly poor to be honest, as can be seen from our Munster performances in recent years. Newtown played a different brand of hurling and that brought them great success for a while, but in general the standard is poor.
The quality and entertainment of some of the Intermediate and junior championship matches are far and away better in my opinion. As was actually seen last year when Cork won the junior and intermediate club huling championships.

Well said ShamoBuc. The best club games in Cork the past few years have been in junior and Intermediate level and there has been plenty of All Ireland success for Cork teams in these grades.

Connorzee · 15-09-2011 1:49pm

Just shows we've lots of decent hurlers, but no great ones...

Results from today;

County Junior Football Championship quarter final; Courcey Rovers 1-10 Donoughmore 0-10.

County Junior Hurling Championship quarter final; Mayfield 1-16 Cloughduv 1-9.

County Senior Football Championship semi final; UCC 0-12 Avondhu 0-8.

I really fancy this Mayfield team to win the junior hurling county this year,they were unlucky last year against eventual All Ireland winners Meelin.

I thought they had what it took to go all the way last year aswell. They are there or thereabouts this year again.

Really looking forward to watching our ladies in Croker tomorrow. They have shown how experienced they are by not panicking when under pressure or behind in games. I expect us to pull through a close game and win by 3 points.
