1-24 to 0-8 FT. great result but serious questions over Waterford but that's for them to worry about. great to see us keep putting up the scores, not relaxing

The_Kew_Tour · 03-05-2017 09:28PM

Excellent stuff

ShamoBuc · 03-05-2017 09:49PM

That's a fair win, will be interesting to see how Waterford get on next week.

They've already taking a hammering from Clare so obviously a poor group.

Cork will meet either Clare or Tipperary in Semi Final depending on outcome of Limerick v Waterford.

so Waterford can get hammered in 2 games, win their 3rd and go into the final yet Cork could lose the next day and our year is over?

who thought up this joke of a system?

To be fair its better that the old system where a team could lose once and be gone full stop, tbh I think minor should like U21 be straight knockout full stop.

depends on what you think minor grade is for, winning titles or giving players a chance to develop as county players

When it changes to U17 then fine have more games, as the players will no longer be playing with their adult club teams but under the current system it is absolutely crazy. My own club recently had a young lad who between club, school and county was on 13 teams in total, absolutely crazy.

It's insane. The 'elite' player has far too many games and will almost certainly suffer from burn out in his mid 20s. The non-elite player gets far fewer games and thus hasn't near the opportunity to develop.

DuffleBag · 07-05-2017 11:25AM

Did i hear the Barrs didnt score in the second half yesterday v Ballymartle? Jesus they're an absolute pity, especially after the whole football thing going on there recently.

Big win for a seemingly understrength Imokilly. 1 or 2 lads missing by the looks of it. Bishopstown flatter to deceive most years, i dont think they're up to much. UCC will be a better test in the next round

The glen dodged a banana skin getting past Bride Rovers, racking up a nice score.

Few games down for decision today including a college double header in Pairc Ui Rinn. Douglas CIT i suppose the pick of a bad bunch overall today. Cant see CIT getting close however

ShamoBuc · 07-05-2017 12:17PM

Looking forward to the ladies game at 4 on tg4, should be a good game, will probably be more entertaining than arsenal v Utd

Barrs not scoring in the second half, how the mighty have fallen.

The White Feather · 07-05-2017 03:41PM

Munster Camogie Senior Championship Semi Final

Half Time it is

Cork 0-10 Clare 0-6

FYI Brid Stack is injured and won't start for the Ladies Footballers

The White Feather · 07-05-2017 04:07PM

Great start for the Ladies footballers. A goal in under a minute.They look like they mean business

In the Munster Camogie Senior Championship Semi Final

It is now Cork 2-17 Clare 0-9 with 50 mins gone so that game is over

The White Feather · 07-05-2017 04:33PM

Ref in the ladies game worries me. He has already given about 3 frees for Donegal that were never frees but Cork have just got a second goal!

BTW Final score in Munster Camogie Senior Championship Semi Final

Cork 2-20 v Clare 1-10

ShamoBuc · 07-05-2017 04:53PM

Ref is a bit on the ridiculous side. Cork doing well and should hopefully push on in the second half to win by about 3

ShamoBuc · 07-05-2017 05:30PM

Cork win 2-15 v 2-14

Most enjoyable game. Corks ball winning ability from kickouts a major plus for Cork.

Orla Finn had a super game. Ref was awful I thought, although the yellow and red for Donegal in the last 2 mins were simply out of frustration.

SeaFields · 07-05-2017 05:34PM

That challenge for the red card looked very definitive in real time.

The White Feather · 07-05-2017 05:35PM

Congrats to the Cork Ladies.Orla Finn was amazing.

Either way the result would have went, that ref is terrible. Ladies Football deserves better refs. He could not keep up with play as he was too big and gave awful decisions both ways.

Even with the awful ref as he was awful to both teams, Donegal have no one to blame but themselves.

It was 2-12 each and they had about 3 to 4 wides when they should have been put over.

The womens games are always great entertainment!

rebel girl 15 · 07-05-2017 06:20PM

Needs another ten minutes to recover from that!

Donegal should have won it, kicked a number of bad wides. Ref was poor, gave some weird frees at times, but right with the yellow as had previously warned her, and with the red which was dangerous on O Shea.

For a team with no Brid Stack (injured), Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley (tbc if they are coming back), Deidre O Reilly and Val Mulcahy (retirement), Ger O Flynn, a lot of players stood up and were counted. After the hammering against Donegal during the round robin, it was a great response - the blocking at times was superb. Great save by Martina when 1 on 1 - really good day at the office, some lightening quick handling made a huge difference

zetecescort · 07-05-2017 07:30PM

todays county championship results:

Avondhu 0 - 17 Carbery 2-23

Bandon 3 - 18 Muskerry 4-13

Duhallow 0 - 22 Youghal 2-10

Ballyhea 3 - 14 Newcestown 1-20

CIT 0 - 22 Douglas 0-20

CIT beating Douglas a big upset. no idea of the Avondhu team but the Carbery coach was in the paper saying they'd barely have 15 togged out. presumably clubs like Mallow and Charleville stopped their players playing today

rebel girl 15 · 07-05-2017 07:34PM

Avondhu v Carbery Teams
Avondhuhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_OgbkbWAAI8Y_U.jpg
Carbery https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_OgbkaXUAA2Ziy.jpg

Avondhu hardly had 20 out - dunno what the Carbery coach was talking about, had 25 togged out

DuffleBag · 07-05-2017 10:25PM

Avondhu had a player come off injured after 30 mins and had no subs to bring on according to Red FM twitter

North Cork Star · 07-05-2017 10:43PM

I was at Coachford today to see Avondhu v Carbery and Ballyhea v Newcestown.

The first game was a joke. Credit to the Avondhu and Carbery players that did turn up. Avondhu had only the bare 15, made up of Junior hurlers and a few intermediates thrown in. This is not the first time I've given out about Avondhu and other divisions. If there's no serious effort being made by a division from the start of the year, they should not be entering. I don't think scrapping the divisions is a good idea either as it wouldn't be fair on the likes of Imokilly, CIT etc. Same with Duhallow and Avondhu in football. I blame the divisional boards and their attitude towards it. Players should be proud to be able to represent their divisions in the senior championship as was the case before. But the divisions need to bring in proper managements, set up etc. The interest might come back then. But again credit to both Divisional teams today who still hurled and battled away.

Ballyhea and Newcestown was on after and it felt like a different grade altogether. Scrappy hurling at times but the intensity and tough tackling was brilliant by both teams. An enjoyable tight affair with nothing separating the sides. Newcestown got a 3 point lead with 10 minutes to go, but Trevor Horgan (I think) got sent off, two yellows. Pa O'Callaghan who definitely looked injured, (I heard he played soccer this morning too) struggled through the game, but got the all important goal to put the game to extra time. Newcestown again were on top in extra time, created a 7 point lead with only 5 minutes left. Ballyhea sub Sean O'Kelly banged 2 quick goals. Luke Meade (who played excellently finishing with about 6 points) scored what looked to be the winning point. But Ballyhea won a free about 70 metres out over by the sideline. Credit to Pa Callaghan for putting it straight over with the last puck. Draw overall was the fair result, 1-20 to 3-14.

Tombo2001 · 08-05-2017 11:12AM

Fair play to Cork ladies team, that is some result and they have such a strong record in closing out close games.

The_Kew_Tour · 08-05-2017 12:04PM

Well done to ladies. They have great bottle and are a credit to this County
