What a summer ye guys are having though. Still in the Championship in all grades. That's some resurgence considering the state Cork hurling was in a few years ago. I know Donal Og wasn't too pleased about it anyway.

Hopefully, Kilkenny's rebuilding process won't take too long and we can rekindle the rivalry of the early to mid 00's!

Good luck for the rest of the summer

Cork have been at the end of such sickening defeats over the last decade at underage. Ref could have bottled it but showed backbone awarding the penalty. Cork have loads of room for improvement. All seniors , Fitzgibbon aside, were v poor.

Fitzgibbon is some class act. Ran his legs off last Sunday and again tonight.
Sheer tiredness at the end with that late flick on the keeper. Red was harsh.
What club is Dalton from.?

Just checking there, 6 of that Waterford team (including 3 of the backs) were starters on the All-Ireland winning team from last Year, away from home too, a huge win really.

Dalton was brilliant, the 2 sidelines cuts were superb, knocked over some incredible frees, scored from play, got seriously stuck in and then buried the penalty at the end. Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Fitzgibbon was immense, though the red was a bit harsh considering some of the other slaps handed out. His hurling skills are excellent, has a rolls royce engine on him and it doesn't seem to matter to him at all whether he goes to any part of the pitch, can seem to hurl anywhere.

Most of the other forwards were held against a serious Waterford backline. Bennett, Roche and Curran were really good for Waterford.

l thought Cork had thrown it away with a sequence of silly frees given up in the last 10 minutes but they pulled it out of the fire at the end to be fair.

A draw would have been a fair result. Would there have been ET ? because it would have been a struggle for the Cork lads with 14 players and their 2nd best player on the night sent off.

Dalton is from Fr O Neills.

Sounds like a right cracker. We are riding the crest of a wave stage moment, long may it continue!

To be fair to the senior lads, they played Sunday and were out till all hours Sunday night. I'd say they weren't 100% there. Fitzgibbon obviously an exception, like a duracell battery. Serious ability.

Great win for the lads. Choo Choo on goes the red train.

Not sure to be honest. Maybe someone will confirm.

Still we have the win though.

Congrats to Cork, great win. Well impressed with a number of hurlers i hsvent seen before, especially Declan Dalton- big, strong, brave and a brilliant striker of the ball. Where is Fr O'Neills club based?

Au contraire.

As a Cork GAA fan I am not in the slightest bit happy with the absolute state of our footballers.

that interview with John meyler was fantastic, great demonstration of passion for his county from the man, gracious towards Waterford too.

Will there many from Cork going to the 2 games at the weekend do ye think?

I would imagine there will be a fair neutral crowd. There should be a record crowd for an intermediate match before that of course.

zetecescort · 17-07-2017 09:13PM

ticket got for Sunday. I see in the paper today that the whole ground will be open to anyone who goes to the game on Wednesday evening

Sounds like bull****, it can hardly all hinge on a massive crowd going to an intermediate club game 3 days prior.

Ref didn't play any injury time either which was strange.
There were 4 or 5 yellows in the 2nd half, same amount of subs, and a couple of stoppages for injuries. Was really strange

Saw that on Twitter as well, very strange indeed.

That's bs for sure.There is no way they could change the venue at this late stage.
