Only 9/1 for the draw. Thought it would be around 12's

Could very well happen. I just wouldn't be surprised.

Totally agree with that. He has been around for years and had his chance. When he got the job I knew that be a backwards step for Cork hurling. Hopefully it won't be detrimental to Cork hurling when they have been on the upward curve over the last few years underage.

I hope whatever happens today that the results go in favour of Cork hurling. They need this chance to progress.

Exactly. I thought the same, I thought Tipp always were able to get a score when Cork were coming back, Tipp just always managed to put something on the score board when Cork were coming back at them and put plenty of pressure on Cork when they were shooting for scores which explains the 16 wides. Cork certainly could have won it all the same but I wasn't to be. I think Ben probably needs a few more years experience before going for the senior job. It's a massive step up in fairness.

Hopefully it was just a once off but this trend was happening in the 00's and 10's and it did no favours for Cork hurling. The first problem there is Meyler, he isnt the solution to bring good Cork teams through the ranks. They start getting beaten underage stays in the mentality of players right through then.

The White Feather

Lads, ye are being a bit hard on Ben O'Connor! He has only lost 2 games as U20 manager. Won it all last year and beaten only by Tipp twice. really only once and it was interesting Frank Murphy was mentioned as we need him now! That Tipp match needs to be replayed and I will be amazed if we don't hear anything about it tomorrow or this week. Cork Gaa need to be proactive on this. Of course though O'Connor needs more time before step up but he is going very well.

Though I would have to agree about Meyler. That performance wasn't good enough.

On todays matches, we will have to see what happens. But imagine if there are draws and time is ticking into injury time, and the backs just pass the ball along the back and to the keeper. Forwards don't press and 5 mins go by!! It would be a conspiracy!! 😝

Horrible feeling this is going to be a draw. 🙈

Not today thankfully. We march on.

Corcaigh84

Thank God we're through - poor Davey lol. Hopefully that's the last time I'll be shouting for Limerick this year! Onwards and upwards now.

ShamoBuc

That will do nicely, another game anyway, we'll take it.

Limerock were never not winning that game. They pushed on when they needed to.

zetecescort

Laois or Offaly next, then beaten Leinster finalists

The White Feather

Great to be through. I'd say there will be a huge buzz in the training sessions.

Have to treat Laois or Offaly with respect though and no slip ups

YabaDabaDooley

Have to say lads i think Cork have a great chnce to be getting to.the All Ireland final this year. This could be the year to end the famine...

callaway92

What a handy run for Cork to the semis now

Winners of Offaly/Laois and then (probably) Dublin

Cork just need to focus on one game at a time and see where that gets us. Be great if we could get there.

Seadin

We need to make sure we win each game first. Dublin Kilkenny will not be easy games if we get past Loais/Offaly which we should be beating with a bit to spare.

i would give dublin a great chance in the leinster final , to go down to galway in a do or die championship game and win like that is serious , they should have beaten kilkenny last week too , no mugs with a full team

Straight Talker

I think we can give the all Ireland a right old rattle. Limerick will be out to gain some revenge on us, but the rest of the teams still in the championship are very much beatable imo.

ye have an ingredient that works perfectly against them , speed , the 9-98 in 4 games is a concern for cork though

Seadin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122187578#Comment_122187578

We be out to get more revenge on them for 2018 semi final and 2021 final.

If Cork play like their last two performances no team will beat them but if they play like they did v Waterford and huge parts of Clare game we can be easily defeated. I just hope they keep the momentum going now and if they do they be hard to beat.

Its a concern for certain but Limerick are leaking alot of goals in games of late as well.

King Power Fox

Limerick will tighten up as the championship concludes. Casey back and hopefully Finn after Munster Final. 4 good full backs to pick 3. More importantly O Donovan back to compliment O Donoghue in midfield to screen half back line.

Any advice on where to park for football match in Pairc Ui Rinn on Saturday afternoon? Coming off M8.

costacorta

You could take first exit after coming thru JLT and park inside in Mahon Point Shopping center which is 30 _ 40 min walk to PUR but also buses running regulary from outside of mahon point .

I would be driving up further toward PUR but if you dont know area and not in any rush you might be better off staying there as very easy to get to and easier to get out of afterwards .

Redsoxfan

Cheers, will have a youngster with me so might push on nearer the ground.

Blackrock GAA usually do Parking for matches, that would be a good spot. Cork Con also but they are right next to PUR so might be more difficult getting out afterwards.

It's all about consistency with Cork that's our problem for the last decade. Like we won Munster in 2017 after a dismal championship the year beforehand. We self destructed in that semi final against Waterford though. We were winning by a point with about twenty minutes to go, then one of our players stupidly got himself sent off and Waterford went to town on us in the end.

Then we bottled it against Limerick in that infamous 2018 semi final although Limerick in the five to six years since have shown what a great team they are. This Cork team has to show that it can produce top class performances on a consistent basis now.
