Dublin vs Cork Hurling

Orizio

Is it on TV on saturday or whats the story?

The RTE and GAA websites seems to say no but I'm sure I saw it scheduled to be shown live at the end of The Sunday Game.

Kojak

It said on the teletext that the match is benig shown live on RTE 2 on Saturday, with the throw in at 3.30 p.m.

It will be interesting to see how Dublin fair against the rebels. I think if they kept it to 5 points, then they would be doing very well. The worst thing for Dublin hurling, and hurling in general, would be to see a massacre shown live on the TV. But I dont think that will happen.

F*** that,

I'm going to this match.I think its time that Dublin fans start getting behind the hurling team as well as they need all the support they can get.I think if we had the same support for hurling as we do for football and the Cork team ran out to a sea of blue,they'd be shocked into underperforming.We need all the advantages we can get and I'd urge fans to go to the match.

I'm going to try get along to this, it would be great to beat Cork and put Dublin hurling on the map.. Its a pity we got Cork in the draw as Dublin are capable of beating a number of the top teams on their day but Cork (who have a point to prove) may be a bridge too far.

Is this an all ticket match?

The heart says Dublin, the head says Cork:(
A good performance here coupled with a win over Offaly I'd see as a reasonably good championship for the Dubs.

Yes maybe,although I do not have a ticket and nobody to go with unless anybody on here wants to keep me company

Nothing better to do on Sunday.

robric

the dubs would want to be careful here that they are not subject to a backlash from a sore cork team, this could be a rout, 20 points like...

blackbelt

Bull**** to the above and no offense but those days of getting completely hockeyed are gone.We are improving big time and are now into the top tier whilst being at the end of that tier,we are making progress.However,a Cork win is pretty much a safe bet but I do not expect a massacre.Dublin are very hard to beat in Parnell and this could make life very difficult for the rebel langers.

Our League campaign was decent and we have been robbed on some occasions such as playing 3 games in a very short space of time whilst losing key players to injury (Derek and Kevin O Reilly) then losing to Wexford with the last hit of the game pretty much.For a team that has shown great fighting spirit and determination,we have been rather unlucky with fixtures,injuries and some general play.

I expect to leave Parnell Park impressed by the Dublin hurlers even if they lose.

Dublin should make a game of it but realistically if they can be within 7 or 8 points at the end they'll be doing well.

Nalced_irl

I dont think ill be around for it but not sure yet. If i am i may head out to it. I think it could potentially be a close enough game but i couldnt see anything except a Cork win to be honest. Dont think we will be hockied but with Cork you`d never know i suppose. With any luck the current good form will continue and we will give em a good game tho.

Orizio

I expect a 5 point win for Cork as well.If Tipp are going to Dublin that could be more interesting though.

Dublin should be a serious force in hurling in the coming decades.There is little excuse for that not to happen imo.Is the work and money being put into the local and underage levels in hurling or what?

Pride Fighter

Even Dubs are predicting a Cork win, not me. I predict Dublin to win by a few points and we will be all baffled. I was baffled watching them beat Galway in Parnell in the league. It is going to be a great day for the Dubs. I am an optimist

thirdmantackle

the Dubs will need to really up their intensity around the field and physicality in the tackle and contesting and tackling for the ball to have a chance vs Cork. Kilkenny have shown its the way to beat a full strength cork team. the Dubs will also need to keep wides to a minimum

but it is very difficult to raise the intensity and physicality at which you play if you have not been doing it all year

Cork by 8 or 9 points

gerire

After going down to the Wexford game, the Dublin team need to lift their physical presence on the pitch by about 250% to have any sort of chance against a Cork team who will still be playing matches at the end of August/start of September.

I am a Dublin hurling fan but this is in the realms of dreams to believe they can win. Dont get me wrong I'll be shouting so loud in Donegal watching the game they will hear me in the Nell; win or lose

jank

I would love dublin to do well in the hurling but they may be in for a shock this weekend on how far they yet have to go. Waterford have been around a while and have yet to reach an all - ireland final. Limerick in the 90's were supposed to be the next clare!

I will be very surprised if cork dont win by at least 10 points and if you think that a few more thousand Dublin fans will upset the cork team that has reached 4 all irelands in a row and won 2 of those then you are sadly mistaken.

Will take no joy out of cork beating the ****e out of dublin but it will be on the cards.

Leinster needs some one to challenge killkenny but that will come from Wexford or a Galway team entering the championship early

If they finish 3rd in this round robin it will be big progress but I dont think they will win any of their games. They will take Offaly close though.

Trjon work being done underage though by dublin but then again look at limerick a few years back

blackbelt

Run Offaly close??...why not beat them?I certainly think DUblin are well capable of beating Offaly as Offaly hurling is declining while Dublin hurling is on the rise again.

As for Cork,well nobody would want to bet against them but remember we did draw and should have beat KK in the league,beat Galway in Parnell and Limerick in the gaelic grounds and look what Limerick did to Tipperary albeit that the championship is the time where the game is upped.Nobody expected Dublin to win one match but we won 2 and drew one and lost to an unimpressive Antrim side and Tipperary after playing so many games in a ridiculous short amount of time.

A few nagging injuries will limit Dublin,I am not sure how Derek O Reilly has recovered from his injury.He wasn't 100% against Wexford which if he was,could have been a different result.The bad news for Dublin is the return of the Cork trio which will put Cork back to 100% in terms of profile but the defeat to Waterford should hopefully break some confidence in the Cork team.

Hopefully the ref will have a Cork bias :rolleyes:

Cork by 7 points with the score not reflecting the closeness of the game

Cork by 7 points with the score not reflecting the closeness of the game

LOL doesnt that even make sense?

The proof of the pudding will be on saturday

I think Limerick's problem isn't to do with not having players, it was being unable to get anything out of the players (same with Galway i suppose). Both Limerick and Galway have more club hurlers than Kilkenny, but the standard is higher in Kilkenny.

Dublin are a gathering force though, they've competed well in the League and are into Leinster finals at u-21 and minor level, and Castleknock just won the All-Ireland Division One Feile, the second Dublin team to win it in 3 years.

Certainly Dublin are primed for big success in about 5 or 6 years, but beating Cork is probably a bridge too far.

the handicap is 8 points with the bookies.....personally i think Cork will cover it....but having never been to Parnell Park i've heard its small enough....will this have any affect on the scoreline?

Daysha

Cork will win, no doubt about that. Dublin could keep it to within a few points before Cork pull away at the end. Like the Kilkenny Offaly match. The Dub's following 2 matches are the ones they should really concentrate on.

Yeah Should do , Donal O cusack will be poppin over points from the other end by the sounds of it

blackbelt

I wouldn't get too complacent if I were Cork or anybody else placing bets.

Parnell Park will advantage Dublin actually as they are very hard to beat there but I would fancy Cork to win.Its not a good idea to write Dublin off anymore.Sure look at the hurling pools,people gave Wexford an easy win over Dublin but were extremely relieved to win by one when Dublin could have had them...that is a tragedy.

Dublin are on their way up,so I predict a 7 point win with a lot of punters making Paddy Power,Ladbrokes and the like very happy that the 8 points were not covered..:D

Langerland

Really looking forward to this now. Heard on the radio this morning that it's a sell out. Hopefully we can generate a decent atmosphere and see a good game of hurling. Being a Corkman living in Dublin, I think it's great the way the game is developing up here. A strong Dublin team would add so much to the Championship. And hopefully giving Cork a good game tomorrow will be a part of that process.

However, only a good game and give a decent account of themselves!!
Anything more than that and I could be resigning and packing my bags back to Cork!!

See ye all there! Gonna enjoy the banter with the Dubs aswell!

league league league........ thats a far way from championship form which cork are in now, the only thing that will keep this a tight game is that parnell park is a very small pitch which will suit dublin in keeping things tight, this will be a much different game than if it was played in thurles, or PUC, or croker, but if it was moved to croker there is a big chance that the dublin hurlers might not be able to find it........:D

normally there is a quote given for sean og to score during a match..... looks like now paddy power isnt giving it cause hes is surely gonna score, and dairmuid and john G..... and well we will all have a go

Good win by cork. They should piss the rest of the matchs now.
Dublin need a few more years before they can dream of getting near the top teams

Kojak

I thought for all of Dublin's efforts yesterday, their first touch was a lot poorer than Corks. On a number of occasions, they let the ball run right through them and it meant that a Cork player had a relatively easy time of collecting the sliothar and taking his score, or setting up a score for one of the inside forwards.

Some of the marking was rather loose and for Kieran Murphy's first goal, the marking was nearly non-existant. Also, on a fair few occasions, Dublin midfielders hit aimless ball high and wide when they had the chance of delivering it in low to the FF line. This is something that will come with experience.

The one thing that will be of benefit to DUblin in a few years time is that they seem to be developing big, strong physical teams that can "hack it" with the big boys. The way that hurling is going, there wont be much room for the small fast forward.

Dublin are still learning, and should target the Offaly match as one that they can win. If they play Tipp last, then they could come pretty close to the Premier (seeing as Tipp would have been playing 6 matches in 6 weeks).

Orizio

I read the game in basically the same way.The Dubs needed two or even three chances to get the ball into the hand whereas the ball just seemed to fly straight into the hands of Joe Deane and the rest with minimum fuss.The quality of the ball into the forwards was poles apart as well.The Dub midfielders looked quite weak as well, Kevin Hartnett was made to look like one of the best players in the country when he really isn't.

Still I liked the attitude of the Dub's center forward line.They really got stuck into the Cok players. Big lads on the right side of aggressive.

TBH I would be shocked if they beat Offaly.

copacetic

not the best performance yesterday, but missing a few players couldn't really have expected much more. it's all about the experience.

the more important result this weekend for Dublin hurling was todays big win over Kilkenny in the minor final.

blackbelt

If senior success is built from up and coming minors then Dublin will be big time contenders in 5 years.Was at Croke Park and they won comfortably.Great display of hurling.

We'll soon be up with Cork,lloking for success in both codes.

Langerland

Was impressed by a few of the Dublin players. Ros O'Carroll looks like he could be a good'un! Thought the Dublin half back line played well in the first half. Made it very difficult for the Cork forwards and cleared up a lot of breaking ball. Pity Dublin had the wind knocked out of them in the second half, but as blackbelt says, they could be a force in a few years with that minor team. Also they're successful minors from 2 years ago are going well in the U21 championship. Anyway, best of luck to the Dubs in the rest of their matches.

blackbelt

Thanks Langerland.I think Cork will have a big advantage over KK going into the latter stages of the Championship.More matches against decent opposition will strengthen Cork.All KK can do is win but for Cork losing against Waterford,that could be a blessing in disguise.

We have a lot of work to do but we are like Iarnroid Eireann,not there yet but getting there.It will be very interesting to see the u-21,minors play alongside Derek O Reilly,Ronan Fallon,Kevin Flynn and Kevin O Reilly.

It should have been kk v Dublin yesterday but we will have to concentrate on Tipp while Offaly is a game we know we are in with a big chance of winning.

Tipperary and Offaly will not get past Cork in my opinion.

Be The Holy

Cork were a joy to watch, their movement positioning everything. They seemed to win nearly every breaking ball, a better first touch helped. The rock looked far from secure at the back but he took a couple of belts to soften hinm up earlier. Not too despondent, we competed, missing four first team starters. Our day will come.

Setanta are showing the minor match on wednesday evening at seven.

rebs23

Thought Cork were poor enough in patches yesterday and the scoreline definitely flattered us.
Suprised Dublin didn't put more pressure on the full back line as Sullie was definitely unfit and Cian O'Connor was well off the pace. Clubmate Kieran Murphy was also well beaten at centre forward and we only really got moving when changes were made in the centre forwards and Jerry O'Connor started coming into it.
Great to see Timmy McCarthy come back and hopefully he'll get a start next day at centre forward.
