Down 0-2 to 1-2 after 15

The White Feather

Leaked a second easy goal. So annoying

zetecescort

2nd kildare goal, 2-2 to 0-3 after 25

zetecescort

Tommy Walsh goal just before half time has it 1-5 to 2-3

The White Feather

This is for another day, but from watching this game in particular Gaelic football really needs a shot clock or a rule the ball cannot go backwards into your own half. Maybe even both!

Kildare should really have this game almost put to bed but somehow we are only a point down .

Big second half needed

zetecescort

Much better so far this half, leading 1-12 to 2-4 after 50 min

ACitizenErased

What a goal from Corbett

Great catch from O'Callaghan from the kick out, madness to concede a penalty straight after

We lead 2-12 to 3-5 after 60 min

zetecescort

much better team in the 2nd half, 2-15 to 3-9 FT

The White Feather

Fair dues to the team, they really responded well in the second half and played very well.

When they play more direct, they get the scores.

Straight Talker

We were six points up at one stage and it was a shame we didn't go on and really bury Kildare at that point.

Still though that was a much improved second half and we got a crucial win. One more win should see us safe i think.

ShamoBuc

Fine win for the footballers. We badly needed that.

But that Kildare number 14 - how did the ref allow him to play the game basically with half the gumshield outside his mouth. Strange.

zetecescort

hopefully some positive news. lack of match practice before championship a worry though

Dont think he walked and apparently he won't be only one who be leaving. Another player in trouble too.

I really hope it's not the signs of an unsettled camp. If it's a case of Ryan putting the foot down with underperforming players, or fellas not having the right attitude, then maybe it could end up as a positive.

Whoever wants to leave then just let them leave. We do have a lot of all Ireland winning replacements from the u20's to bring through.

As you say hopefully this is Ryan just calling out the slackers, and demanding total effort and commitment from here onwards.

FantasyFool

Apparently a few players had the audacity to talk up against the standard of the training/coaching and were pretty much "disciplined". No one dropped as such but giving a weekend off vs. Waterford. It's very worrying to say the least!

It's hard enough to win an all Ireland even when everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. It's next to impossible though if you have a situation where the players and management are at odds with each other. I would be seriously worried though if it's a case of the training being crap, and the set up being bit of a jokeshop in general. I wouldn't mind so much if it's a case of some players having an unprofessional/sloppy attitude, and the management having to crack the whip as such.

The White Feather

CIara O'Sullivan has retired from Inter county football. She had a great career and while it's sad to see her retire, she gave everything to Cork football.

Fantastic player, had a lot of years without a break with Mourneabbey being so successful too. Wear and tear unfortunately taking it's toll

The White Feather

Sadly, CIaras sister Doireann is also retiring.

She also had a great career with Cork!

I forgot to post this earlier but Cork are playing Tipp right now in Camogie. Its 20 mins gone in second half and Cork up by 3 points as I type.

It's live on Camogie youtube

zetecescort

Tipp with 2-1 in the final minutes to win, 2-10 to 1-10

The White Feather

What a game! TIpp got 2 goals and won it! Exciting end!

Really though the Pairc Ui Rimn pitch was dreadful. Cork couldn't raise the ball numerous times and the tiop would come in to make it a scrap on the ground. Both goals were a consequence of this. Tipp really fought well but Corks game couldn't get going with the pitch.

You could see Cork were better but things broke down with the pitch. One of those frustrating days for the Girls.

callaway92

Bad loss for Cork given the Tipp girls are all rushing off now to Cait Devane's wedding. They had no interest in that match, and the moving of it to midday was to squeeze it in.

Corcaigh84

Offay's pitch is a shambles, but we're dealing with them easily enough first half. Deccie getting some great scores from long range, and Alan Connolly is simply unmarkable

zetecescort

bit of a challenge game feel to it, keep our focus and we'll win handy enough. 2-12 to 0-7 HT

The White Feather

Its perfect for Alan Connolly as you could see he was very rusty at the start but then got going. If we were playing someone better he wouldn't get so many chances so this is perfect to get him up to speed. 2 goals already and could have one or 2 more.

Pitch is shocking alright. I almost forgot about Dalton so its great to see him back. Jack O'Connor really doing well also.

Still a few things to be ironed out such as hospital passes putting us in trouble. Against teams in Munster we would be punished . A lot of our troubles seem to come from our mistakes.

We just need to push on from here and keep the scoreboard ticking in second half.
