Cork GAA Discussion Thread

It would be fantastic if the Cork County board started taking gaa seriously in the county and get the best systems in across the board for the Hurlers and footballers so that we can start working towards achieving something great again like winning an All Ireland in both codes. Kilkenny did brilliantly this year against Limerick in the final they were very competitive and had even a chance of even winning the game at the end. The All Ireland hurling final of 2021 was a joke in comparison and Cork hammered out the gate after 10 mins should have been seriously addressed going into 2022. But very little changes or improvements could be seen. Here's hoping to a better 2023.

Ashling Thompson cleared to play today. Live on rte at 3:15

Got back to 5-3 points down and then gave away some cheap scores and its now

Cork 0-3 Waterford 0-7 at half time

Thompson has made a huge difference but the Cork forwards are very poor. We look like a team with no scoring forwards and relying on others to get scores. Really strange to see

Corks subs made the difference combined with Waterford running out of steam.

Fair dues to the management as they changed things around in the second half and it ended up a good win. This is why I was critical of Kingston with the men as he never seemed to change anything or the way we played when its clear its not working.

But Cork looked very slow and touch was off in the first half and this is probably due to the break between games.

It is quite clear that Thompson was a huge difference along with the other subs as well. Onto the final now!!

Kanturk does have more then just Walsh’s playing 🤪

Tommy and Aidan walsh are brothers and the other walshs are brothers and first cousins of Aidan and Tommy!!

Intermediate camogie team currently leading Derry 0-6 to 0-4 at halftime in their All Ireland semifinal. Live on youtube

The senior camogie AI final is Cork's last chance of an All-Ireland this year. I know we are in the Intermediate final as well but the Senior is the one that counts. The seniors will be underdogs for sure but let's hope they can cause a shock.

Ladies football minor All Ireland final v Galway tomorrow evening, live on youtube

Cork 1-16 Galway 1-8 FT. Despite the scoreline we made hard work of it, 11 or 12 wides and missed a penalty before a goal in the final minute sealed it for us

Another poor start from Cork, 6 down and yet to score after 18 min. Forwards really struggling to hold possession.

Edit: goal for Cork. Hopefully that gets us going

He rightly got stuck into Cork I think. Their run to the final absolutely flattered them. This thing of being a 'young team' is a myth too by the way. A frustrating excuse by some in the camp

Wasn't afraid to be honest about how he saw things. I'd say though a lot of it is not wanting the whole 'Davy Fitz delivers Cork a Camogie All-Ireland' so I think he's relieved they didn't win, and is letting them know that

Just a few points in relation to the above. Remember, Cork beat much the same KK team last year. It must be remembered also that if Limerick had Lynch and Casey playing this year, Kilkenny would certainly not end up as close to Limerick as they did. If the two boys were fit to start, Dan Morrissey would be playing Full Back- he is a far better back than Mike Casey, Hayes would be at wing back and instead of Walsh doing well for about ten minutes, Hayes would probably have taken him for a few scintillating runs up the wing and Wallie's tank would be emptied even sooner than it was- he was gone after ten minutes anyway. Now Lynch is the chief player on the team and he would improve the entire Forward Line and of course Casey, was probably as good against Tipp last year and until he went off injured in the Final. Most agree that G Mulcahy's best days are well behind him and yet ha caused three points from frees, what would Casey have done. Gillane was also clearly carrying an injury. All in all, I feel if the two boys were available and Gillane at full throttle the margin would be a good bit wider
