Cork GAA Discussion Thread

We keep launching attacks into the middle of their goal, We need to go out to the sides and draw them out.

43 minutes gone and it's cork 0-08 Kilkenny 0-08

10 gone and kk take the lead, we need to get back into this fast.

I don't like the way the Cork goalkeeper/defence are launching puckouts down the middle into where the KK defence is clustered.We have to play down the wings.

Lead is gone after only 7 mins so its getting worrying

Killkenny have started the second half a lot better than cork. Cork would want to wake up.

Great bit of skill by the Cork goalie about 5 minutes before half time when she flicked the ball without catching it straight over to one of the Cork corner backs.

Has Briege Corkery stopped playig camogie?

Briege has stepped back from both codes.

yeah, didn't play football either this year. 3 points no lead for the possession we had, nearly 20 min without scoring in the 1st half

Great first half display, totally out playing kk. We are running at them at every opportunity, creating chances. 5 v 2 up is great considering we were against the wind but playing ball towards that wind will strangely help kk.

The first goal will be huge!!

Yes Cork won the toss and opted to play against the wind

And they've got five points against the wind so imagine what they can do with the wind.

Did I hear that Kilkenny have the wind advantage ? I know ye are saying it's a defensive system but you'd take adavantage of what sounds like a very strong wind.

Aishling Thompson is all over the field.

And the only way to change their formation is to get into a nice lead, like we are doing, game is really flowing, credit the ref.

Their set up is very defensive, which is exactly what they do normally, but surprising as they are with the wind.

The Kilkenny tactic seems to have no one up front. They haven't looked like scoring.

Despite clear fouls, he is playing advantage each tine, 4 mins 20 seconds gone before the ref blows for a foul-despite and it was a soft one, clear difference in refs style already, much better game as a result!

Gemma starts but I think she really is not fit and will come off.

Shockingly heavy shower there, conditions that will suit the defensive kk.

That referee made so many bad decisions and put the icing on the cake with the controversial blowing of the final whistle.

The ref was terrible. Baffling decisions toward the end. Hope not there for the replay. That said the standard was very poor with so many mistakes.

Severe dislike for that ref, sooooo whistle happy, ruined what could have been a good game, despite the conditions.

Overall I thought we were poor and got luckily at times. Meath were in a few times but for a poor touch. They also put their free taker into full foward and she did not take the long range frees, which they missed. Deservedly down to 14 at the end, but that didn't cost us. 3 mins et given and 3.23 in she blew for ft, 3.25 the ball went over for a Meath point.

Cork 1-09 v 1-09 Meath

Intermediates lead 1-07v 0-06 at ht

Playing with a very strong wind we have been poor, scored the goal with the last puck of the half. Also playing with an extra player in the half back line is a bad decision with that wind at your back. Meath the better team, with a very accurate free taker who will probably win them the game in the second half because the ref loves her whistle.

Na Piarsaigh win by 1

Burial.

Hoggy looked to have snatched a draw with a monstrous free but Piarsaighs went down and scored a free of their own with the last puck...1-12 to 0-14. Na Piarsaigh play Bandon next. Two underdogs through!
