What is happening at the canal end ?

Bunching of players but there was a loose kk player, she literally couldn't find someone to mark, you must have 15 marking 15 at the start.

That was clearly a penalty ! Good call, great running!
Ball was gone, player was then clearly fouled.

Cork 0-03 v 0-01 after 8 mins.

Far from a peno She also must have taken 7/8 steps

They defended well by getting the ball, but then they flattened her, you can't do that.

Kk with the wind and still playing extra players in defence?

Killkenny can't win with only two players in the cork half.

Its the KK way. Downey wont change.

Good save by Aoife Murray.

Only one point from play.

Poor play by aishling Thompson. That put the cork Defense under pressure and Aoife Murray is injured.

That should change in the second half.

Delighted she got booked for taking the Hurley and flinging it away.

It was the right call as it was a cynical move.

Mighty free there!

As good as any you'd see in any code.

Lovely score from cork.

The White Feather

Ref seems to never have heard of the advantage rule. Constantly giving quick frees without seeing the advantage

Very stop start.

Intense first half. Lots of nerves. Ref is simply awful, ruining the game by not playing the advantage.
Aisling Thompson needs to get into the game more.

Ht Cork 0-08 v 0-08 given the wind, Cork should be happy enough.

The lower hogan looks full on the tv.

Yeah, but there is no one in the Cusack or Hill

Attendance is over 21000, up from last year but still just under half of what ladies football got. Doesn't help that Cork are there twice in both the intermediate and senior.

Don't think that is a rule at all tbh - think it is to do with the lineout rather than the number of players 1-3-3-2-3-3 in a 15 a side game, but no definite 15 marking 15 at the start. You can start a game with only 12 players though

Commentator mentioned it. I could see a kk girl on her own looking around, she literally didn't know where to go.

She has stood out for me for the wrong reasons - couple of mistakes and a few poor passes, which hopefully means a very strong second half from her as she will know that herself.

KK crowding both the half back and full back line - Cork need to stop Denise Gaule. Pamela Mackey has Power wrapped up, Sigerson or perhaps Corkery to come on and man mark Gaule out of the game.

And why is Hannah Looney playing as a half back/full back?

Aisling's first touch is awful today.

The White Feather

Jeez this ref is really bad. Let the play develop

Numbered positions mean nothing in this game!

If either team score a goal you would imagine that will be that.

And Aisling gets booked, presume that was for mouthing off.

Cork with the wind playing a ridiculously defensive game - put another Cork forward up there and help Collins and Mackey
