Has Keith R had the under 20s out for a 10k this morning. They look knackered against Offaly. No zip at all?

ShamoBuc

U20 team in big trouble. 1-07 v 0-03 down at ht

Credit to Offaly, well worth their lead. We have been poor all over the pitch.

ShamoBuc

5 plus inj time left, down by 3 much better stuff now.

zetecescort

Stuck at it in fairness but never looked like getting the goal we needed. Offaly deserving winners

ShamoBuc

Cork 0-14 v 3-10 Offaly

Fully deserved win for Offaly, won it in the first half.

Truly awful by Cork in the first half but a great effort to get back into it in the second half. Great heart and effort shown but they left themselves with too much to do.

Saw Offaly against Dublin and they were very impressive, hope they go on and win it now.

Yes they looked really lethargic. No real spring in their step at all. Did well to bring it back a good bit but too many seemed stuck in the mud

westcork67

fair dues to the lads for the fight back but better team won. A team of footballers beat a team of athletes. our academy system has to shifts its focus to finding footballers first instead of athletes. You will never see a Kerry footballer in a senior team who is not a footballer. You can develop fitness and strength from 14 up through proper S&C - you cannot develop the skills in someone who has the strength at 14. Fundamental mindset change needed in Cork football.

Offaly, a new low.

Ricken getting senior job will change sweet FA.

Anyway come on the Hurlers semi final at stake

That's very disrespectful to that Offaly team.

The Leinster U20 Champions who beat Dublin deservedly in that final.

ShamoBuc

Collins in goal has been too busy for my liking in the opening minutes.

zetecescort

Very sluggish start, second to a lot of ball

A awful Dublin team that managed 3 points and 6 scores

That were kept to a very low score by a very good Offaly team.

ShamoBuc

Happy to be 2 up at the water break after the slow start, some goal by O'Mahony.

zetecescort

Despite the scoreline it must be near 50/50 in possession. Cork taking their chances, Dublin with some poor wides. Everything going for Harnedy today. Was just about to wonder if Kingston should be off at HT and then he scores a goal

ShamoBuc

Very happy to be 2-13 v 0-11 ahead at ht

Thats the thing with Kingston. He turns into the invisible man a lot but he is a guy that will get us a goal if given the chance. So its kind of, do we wait until he pops up or take him off!! Luckily he got a goal that buys him some more minutes but he needs to do more as we have great subs itching to get on.

We look in control after a slow start. I think we can get more goals in the second half and really kill this off. We seem to be humming now after the 1st quarter

ShamoBuc

7 up with 15 to play, have to be happy with that.

zetecescort

4 up with 5 min to go. Gone very sloppy. Game not over yet

ShamoBuc

Won by 8.

Bring on the Cats next Sunday.

Downey, Hoggie and O'Mahony were super.

The White Feather

Nice result. This was a potential banana skin and a game that we just wanted to get through. You always thought we would win but of course it has to be done on the pitch.

We could have gone for more goals but miss them and then they get closer and it can get tense at the end.

Now with Kilkenny in the semis. More fans which is good for us. You could see the cheers when we got the ball today. It will be much more even.

Commentators saying we got tired but I felt fellas were just thinking take it easy till next week as we are ahead. Naturally you would get like that and then we responded again when they got a tad bit too close! That would be the worry though with being out every week but on the other hand you are battle hardened.

Good to see Barrett and Connolly get more game time. They are being eased into it.

We are way better now at being more physical. We seem to have improved in that area where now no one gets through without a hard hit. Before Kilkenny would bully us but I think its more even now. Should be a cracker of a game. Now its a semi and right where we want to be!!

The_Kew_Tour

Great stuff.

Super week for Cork Hurling.

Bring on the semi final

Camogie seniors also won day

Cork 2-19 Waterford 3-8 

We now top Group 2 in the All-Ireland camogie championship. All-Star Pamela Mackey had decided to take a year out but has now came back and played today. We have to wait until Sunday evening to see if we go through to the semi final or have a quarter final next.

Straight Talker

It will take a massive performance to beat the cats, but in Cork and Kilkenny games, the underdog has a habit of winning. As for Dublin they have failed dismally, to build on the progress they made when Anthony Daly was manager. To be honest, i'm hopeful that we can pull a senior all Ireland out of the bag this year. Sure we are Cork after all.😁
