From what I've heard, its exactly like Sportsfan says. He is viewed as behind in the pecking order as he was out injured. I would have had him in the panel now but I think he will be added later. Of course I have heard the other rumours but I heard the above from more reliable people. Again though we cant be certain though.
I tend not to take much notice of these rumours, not long ago Tim O'Mahony was supposed to be off the panel. Then there was more stuff that was supposed to have happened at that camp in Dingle, more rubbish. Remember last year when all the pub talk was that Hegarty had left the Limerick panel. It's 3 days before a massive match it's not useful to be posting gossip about the group.
any reasons why Coleman is on the bench??
because he played poorly against Waterford
Correct. I'd have started Cunningham instead of Hoggie, he's available, just not selected, should be an option from the bench at the very least. He us the future Hoggie from frees alone but is not involved.
Mullins aswell should be on the bench if not starting.
Changes, but I'm sceptical whether the performance will come with that starting 15.
Stand tickets available online
Even enough first half. We went 0-06 v 0-09 down but got back into it well to be 0-14 v 0-12 up at ht.
Jack Leahy doing well again, 7 points so far
Cork 0-14 Limerick 0-12 HT
Good win for Cork, 1-25 v 2-20
Leahy was Unreal and did the majority of the scoring,, ably assisted by Healy.
3 wins in a row.
Good start to the weekend with the minors comfortable win over Waterford last night.
Onto the main event Sunday.
A loss today for the Ladies Footballers
Munster LGFA Senior Championship R2
Kerry 1-14 Cork 1-10
play Tipp next Saturday for a place in the final
Just a reminder for those in Cork early tomorrow, camogie v Clare at 12 in PUC
Im very worried about the back 6 tomorro and in particular the 2 Downeys tomorrow. Big men with plenty of hurling but they lack the legs for intercounty hurling. Wel hope for the best!
Some Celtic Challenge results today again
East Cork 1-10 Kilkenny 3-15
West Cork 3-10 Galway 1-24
North Cork 1-17 Dublin 2-11
Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Great chance to put the season right and bounce back. I'm expecting a big change from the desperate performance of last week. If we have another slow start, it will kill us though. I do think the lads will prove a lot of people wrong. It's about doing it on the pitch now and no excuses.
A huge performance is needed today, lose and we're staring down the barrel of yet another group stage exit. Pat Ryan has only won the one championship game as Cork manager as well.
It's not over as such if we lose but considering that we have Limerick up next a lot is on the line today.
I don't expect or demand victory but i demand a performance and for everyone to lay it on the line today.
Time to step up. I expect a good game and a savsage atmosphere and hopefully any kind of a home win !
Time to hit the road.
today for Cork could be like 1999 all over again… back then Jimmy Barry Murphy gave was it 7 lads there debut against a strong seasoned waterford team in a Munster semi final… Cork won that game and the rest is history….
today could be the same… i think Cork might have underestimated waterford last Sunday when the deise had such a poor league campaign… they wont underestimate Clare… and Pairc Ui Chaoimh hasnt been a ground Clare have had much luck in… and then add to that Clare's meltdown last Sunday may still be occupying their minds… i fancy Cork.. the u20 successes will at some stage make their mark at senior level.. why not today??
Good start today with the Camogie players winning in the Munster semi final
Cork 1-17 (20) Clare 1-09 (12)
Christ time for Horgan to go after today.
In the North Stand. Not sure which is worse for us, Collins distribution or Owens soft frees to Clare. Apparently now you can't stand your man up if you're in a red jersey
Good first half from us but we should really be further ahead. Collins has done his usual gift of puckouts that has probably cost us 3 points at least. Horgan somehow misses an easy free but playing well since then. We should really have a few goals but I think they will come in the second half. Connolly looks on fire and the crowd goes mental when he is on the ball. Fitzgibbon hit a tame shot that he could have got a goal and Horgan improvising nearly got one too.
Shane O'Donnell is playing out of his skin for Clare and if we can get tighter on him which we started to so as the game went on, we can get the job done. A goal or 2 for us will break this game open and put distance between the teams.
I love our aggression and a few frees for Clare seemed a tad soft. Great to see us really up for the game and busting a gut to tackle. Niall O'Leary and Joyce really coming into the game. We need to keep this going for the second half if we want to see this through. If we get a goal or 2 then I think we will definitely win.
you cannot be serious…. would have to say anyone calling for 'Horgan to go' should be a little bit ashamed of themselves given the 17 years of service he has given to Cork… hes there year in year out….
We need to sub Patrick Collins. His puckouts are absolutely killing us
Awful sending off. That wasn't even a booking. Same for his first yellow. The guy runs into him full force
Silly by o Donaghue
James Owens again, the man hates Cork.
A free out if anything.
Very bad decision by the ref. Would he even check with the umpires. Shane O'Donnell ran into O'Donoghue.
Short year for Cork now anyway. Just not good enough. Pathetic.
7 points up and ended up losing. Ryan needs to go.
The Gaa must be brutally stuck for referees when they are still giving james owens games to ref... he is brutal.. or else he loves being the centre of attention
