Tipp/Cork

Orizio

Have my ticket on the way, looking forward to it. Even if Munster is pretty irrelevent in the bigger scheme of things with good weather we'll hopefully get a decent game of hurling.

The Evening Echo says that this will be the Cork team...

Donal Og

S. McDonnell E. Cadogan S. O'Neill

J. Gardiner W. Egan B. Murphy

P. Cronin L. McLoughlin

B. O'Connor C. McCarthy N. McCarthy

L. O'Farrell M.Cussen P. Horgan

Ya your right more 18+

I think Cork will be beaten out the gate myself.

No epic OPs this time Orizio? Poor form based on the stuff you were coming out with last year :P

This is Tipp's to lose and by some distance. That said it won't be a 18+ hammering, a comfortable 8-10 win with Tipp in 3rd gear most of the way.

Feels like the Summer has really started when the Munster hurling gets going. I wonder do cork have any sting in the tail like last year? Hopefully will head down for a look, you can never get enough of Thurles during Championship season.

Even if we had preformed reasonably competently in the league I think Tipp would be looking for a major scalp after last year. Taking into account our league performance and displays in challenge matches, I hope Denis Walsh's back door plan better be in good nick.

A short and bleak summer lies ahead for the Cork hurlers and I fully expect Tipp to beat Cork by at least 9 points at their ease.

The_Kew_Tour

There is no buzz to this game though is there?? Jesus I remember 90 91 and 92 games as kid and the old man and myself be talking for few weeks before the game about what we think,

getting tickets were gold, Jesus I miss those days, you could never beat a TIPP/Cork match in Thurles

I think some of the newer Cork lads will be out to impress. Some of the older lads will be out to prove they still deserve to be there. The fact that it's the first game for both of them will help Cork more. Cork are normally capable of causing an upset but I feel that happened last year - lightning won't strike twice. I would expect Tipp to come through by about 6-8pts.
Looking forward to it but won't be travelling as I expect an early start and a late finish in the high chair on Saturday, hence couch spud Sunday!

Le King

Hopefully we can do it.

I'd say the team will be:

Cummins
Stapleton Curran Cahill
O'Keefe O'Mahoney Maher
McGrath Ryan
Bonnar McGrath O'Brien
Bourke Kelly God

Although you never know. Will be interesting to see how the forwards line-up.

Callinan will definitely start he is on fire atm, prob bourke loose out and Johnno into the corner, agree with you that O'Keefe has done enough to get ahead of D Young.

Heard he played for the B's yesterday. I hope Callanan starts, but I'm basing the starting info on the information I got this morning.

Bourke will lose out if Callanan starts though, I agree with you there.

Gerard.C

Fair play to Bonnar if he can start, it wasnt looking too good there a few weeks ago. I reckon Callinan will start going on the form he's supposed to be on at the minute. I dunno will it be Bourke or JOB that makes room for him though, Bourke has been playing very well whereas JOB has proven he can hang in these kinda games. I reckon we should win by 5/6 points, more if Cork dont show up

edit - actually if theres any of ye living in Bangkok will ye let us know if theres a pub showin the game, my heart will be broke if I dont find it

Quiet possibly. Tipp got a lot of stick last year on the back of their loss to Cork (which, in a weird way, helped them win the the AI) so they will want to go out to avenge last year.

Also, Cork are going nowhere at the moment - they let their best chance for sliverware slip by them last year when they couldn't close out the deal against Waterford in the Munster final. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of players coming through from underage, unlike tipp where its doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.

Tipp by at least 8 points I think.

ballbag05

Trouble a brewing again, heard after the Waterford match behind closed doors last week, that donal og had a blowout with denis Walsh, apparently not happy with team and methods of play, again all very messy week before championship.

I predict a very tight game with nothing only a few scores in it.

Bar the obvious one or two players... that is quite a young looking team. They might bring a vibrancy to the game that has been lacking.... really looking forward to this one now. If they all gel on the day, they might get something out of it. Kenny, O'connor and Naughton in particular, are very experienced fellas to have on the sideline aswell.
Tip should win, make no mistake about it, but reading through that team I'm a little more optimistic for some reason.

Whip on it

Right lads..my heart is saying that Cork will win and once again I'm going to go with it..Cork to win with a last minute point!! Please God!:P but on a different note..should I be proven wrong I'm going to be hitting the pubs in Thurlas after to drown my sorrows and well I'm asking ant Tipp lads out there...is there a pub in Thurlas with Smithwick's on tap?? if any of ye know would ye drop me a line here!! :P cheers!:D

Rebels Abú!

I am a little more optimistic as well, well at least until the Tipp team is named after which I will probably revert back to my previous sombre disposition. For better or worse that is about as good a Cork team as we have at the moment so it is a case of getting behind them now and hope we can upset the odds.

I remember the last game in Thurles in 2009 where Tipp were on a high after giving Kilkenny a fright in the league final and Cork had just come off a strike and a 27 point beating from Kilkenny in the league. Tipp were extremely lucky to have won that game.
I wouldn't like to call it Sunday. Cork don't fear Tipp whatever the case may be and Sunday wont be any different and bear in mind Tipp are under new management and haven't been flying thus far this year and i refuse to consider the game against Galway in the league as a barometer of form.
