Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Fair point…

Personally I must admit since the onset of the 12 team sections (Prem Sen; Sen A etc…) I've really gotten back into the cork club championships - I try to follow the top 3 grades & then keep an eye on local teams in the others. gaacork website is pretty good for following (typical website is down right now when I check!!!); I had planned on attending a batch of games this past weekend as a neutral but the weather scuppered my plans. I normally like to write up a general review & predictions here - but you are correct as a topic it doesn't generate a lot of discussion which is a shame.

On the hurling finals that are now confirmed:

Prem Sen: Sars v Imokilly - Could be a cracker Imokilly when they get going are a machine but Sars as reigning champs will take beating

Sen A: Glen v Blarney - most peoples picks for the two finalists at the start of the year. All predictions would say it must be Glen R returning back to Prem Senior ranks - but I have a sneaky suspicion that Blarney could cause an upset…

Prem Int: Carrigaline v Winners Watergrasshill v Mallow tricky to call but Carrig have had an unreal year promoted to Div 1 in the league (I think) so I'll go with them

Int A: only at semi-final stage Ballygiblin v Lisgoold & Midleton v Erins Own. Have to expect the 1st semi winners will be favorites against 2nd teams but you never know

Football this weekend - lets wait until the website is back up and running…

The only problem though is that i find that PROC forum to be bit of a cesspit. There's still some very good posters as well though to be fair, but a post by one fella on there during the summer calling for Davy Fitz to be Cork manager is typical of some of the stupidity you can find on there!🤣

Hard see Mallow getting anywhere near Nemo at weekend

..

Dont know about McCormacks previous efforts but great to see Ricken back involved. 1 year term a bit unusual though

Knocknagree won the other semi. They won convincingly. Can't call the final.

i dont contribute but i read it from time to time , some good posters some idiots , its good for local hurling and football i find but the joyce vs downey debate during the summer was incredible 😂

I think Imokilly will have too much for Sars!

The Senior A final is going to be a cracker! Both teams are Premier quality! I fancy Blarney to just pip it!

Brian Hurley was unstoppable in the football yesterday but I thought the Barrs were a bit naive in their tactics at times.

With the wind behind them, Imokilly should quickly eat into SARS lead.

Just as I say this they rattle the net, finally 😅

poor 2nd half from Sars, won't do much in Munster

dose the cannon o'brien cup count , he was very good today i believe he is not long out of under 20s for cork

horgan impressed me more then anyone in both games today , his frees in the second half against the wind were bang down the middle from 50 yards , barrett missed two from closer with the wind which could have been huge in the last ten minutes of that game
