Well done to the ladies and the Gents last night.

Good weekend for change. Keep it up

After their last game, the ladies needed to make a bit of a statement and they sure did, a powerful performance.

An Intermediate team like Kanturk with an all Ireland Title would always have some senior level players doing the heavy lifting. If all their players were of Intermediate standard they wouldn't win a county title.

Exactly and few of their players are definately County standard.

Where did I say clubs outside the city shouldnt have representation?
Kanturk, population 2500 approx, has a far less player numbers to draw from than Blackrock. What is happening in Blackrock that they arent featuring at county level?

There are just better players from other clubs at the moment I would guess.

Charleville won one this year and they don't have alot of senior players involved.if you are good enough in your level you will go most of the way and you must have a bit of luck too in the process.

Fermanagh did indeed beat Clare. Us, Clare and Tip on 3 with Armagh a point above. 2 to play, home to Donegal and away to Armagh, going to be a close finish.

It could come down to two relegation games in the last round of games with the losers of Armagh v Cork and Clare v Tipp going down. It's the same with the other two games in the last round with possibly the winners of Donegal v Kildare and Meath v Fermanagh going up

That would be 4 good sets of fixtures on the last day.

Kanturk have players of senior standard. In counties like Cork Kerry Tyrone over the years the selectors always were able to pull players from intermediate and indeed junior level and get them to make big contributions to the senior team. Players dont want to switch clubs so even if of a higher standard than their club play they will stick with them.

Transfer of Dublin star approved to Cork All-Ireland club champions after vote last night

The 2017 Player of the Year’s switch has been completed after a Cork county board meeting.

Some pickup for Mourneabbey

Funny how the county board are getting it in the comments even though it was the Ladies Football County Board dealing with her transfer

Some people just don't get different associations, different county boards

ShamoBuc

That is a serious addition to their team.

What's the story with Colm Spilliane and Mark Ellis, are they injured?

What's the story with Colm Spilliane and Mark Ellis, are they injured?

Article in de paper about them

FOUR members of the Cork hurling panel who have been marked absent for the National League are having injury situations monitored closely by the medical personnel.
Defenders Colm Spillane and Mark Ellis have both been long-term absentees, though Ellis returned to training last week and he will be eased back into the set-up. He should be in a position to challenge for a place on the championship squad for the opening game against Tipperary on May 12.

However, Spillane, one of Cork’s most consistent operators last season in the run to the All-Ireland semi-final against Limerick, may not be in able to get back to full training until much nearer that date in May. He’s out with a back injury and according to team boss John Meyler, his situation is in the capable hands of the medical people.
A fully-fit Spillane would be an almost automatic starter, though Stephen McDonnell has returned to the panel to cover a corner-back berth, and every effort will be made to have him ready.
Another injury victim, Michael Cahalane, has had an operation for an Achilles injury and he’s a number of weeks away from being back in the equation.

Billy Hennessy, so impressive for the Cork U21s last year, has been out with a shoulder injury and the St Finbarr’s club man is awaiting clearance to be able to go back into contact again.

Another player who won’t figure in the rearranged league fixture with Tipperary is Darragh Fitzgibbon.
He is being given a break by Meyler and his management team after being on the go almost non stop for 12 months.
“We are giving Darragh a well- deserved break for a couple of weeks. He’s been involved with ourselves, the U21s, Charleville in their run to the All-Ireland club final, and UCC.
“We’ll leave him out for another week or two,’’ Meyler told The Echo.
The two postponed league games involving Cork and Tipp, Wexford and Kilkenny, and Waterford and Galway will now go ahead at the weekend, all at 2pm on Sunday and the three games will determine the pairings for the quarter-finals. The only issue decided is that Limerick will face Laois in one of the quarter-finals.

Midleton CBS through to the semis with a 1-14 v 1-12 win over Coláiste Eoin from Stillorglin, very late drama apparently

........The Harty Cup winners had enjoyed a four-point lead entering injury-time but a Séamus Ó Fiachna goal turned the tie on its head as Midleton found themselves a point down with five minutes of added time played.

However, there was to be one final twist as Jason Hankard flicked home a Ryan McCarthy sideline ball to give his side a thrilling and ultimately deserved victory.
