Hi folks,
Driving from Dublin on Sunday for the game and intend to come through the tunnel and hopefully park somewhere near Cork Con's rugby ground. I know it is fairly residential around there so I was wondering what the parking situation is like?

Cork Con themselves had parking (paid I presume) at the football last week so they will probably do the same again this week.

Cork unchanged for Sunday. Cahalane and surprisingly Ellis marked fit.

I wonder which one will have to come off first.
Not a good sign that we have to start 2 players in pivotal positions that are not 100%

How long they last could have a big bearing on the outcome.

I have to say I am unbelievably excited about the match. I just cannot wait. I am living in Limerick and will be travelling down early Sunday morning to pick up the father and then go into town and meet all the lads. Going to walk down Pana, stop along the way maybe long valley or cantys onto parnell place and then the bars across the river. It is going to be amazing.

I've been to sports all across the world - baseball in texas, Celtics in Boston, premiership, bundesliga, lions and AFL and nothing compares to this type of sports event.

I really hope Cork can win. I really hope they can show what Cork is all about.

I am expecting a HUGE atmosphere in the Pairc and the Limerick folk will play their part too.

I bought 2 new jerseys for this match and all! I am demented with anticipation.

Up the Rebels!!!

How do people see it going?

Judging by the Limerick team they're going to play just 2 in the full forward line which suits us down to the ground I think. I'd expect our backs to line out the same as against Clare with Cahalane coming out to wing back and Ellis in more of a sweeping role.

Matchups as always are key. I'd like to see Joyce take Hannon and Cahalane on Downes, leaving Lorcan with Breen. Lorcan would be at a bit of a height disadvantage but he did well enough in similar circumstances against Conlan.

I'd probably go Maccy on Dowling as he's a bit better in the air than O'Neill. Limerick seem to hit a lot of aimless ball when they play two inside so I'd be confident enough we'll be pretty tight. The big danger is Limerick running at us like Gleeson did for Waterford.

Midfield will be a massive battle but if the two lads with Cooper helping can play close to how they did the last day we should scrape it.

I've a feeling the pace in our forward line could do damage. It's the perfect day and the perfect matchup for Lehane to have a real stand out performance like he does so often for Middleton.

We badly need to become more clinical and bury any goal chances that come around.

It'll be an absolute battle and close the whole way but I'd predict us tagging a few on in the end and winning by 4. Here's hoping anyway.

Less than 24 hours to go!

Clarke out - have to say have a certain respect for them. They were hard to knock out taking it all the way.

Hope we can win timorous. Will be some occasion.

What a great day and a great match. I thought Limerick played great stuff. They looked like they were getting into a real stride in the opening quarter but Cork were great to pull them back and the 3rd quarter was great stuff with Cork really motoring.

Great to see Cork score goals from open play. Both very well taken.

Was up the club last night and SON and Pa Cronin got a great reception.

Thought Limerick were poor enough. I expect they can and will play a lot better the next day. Some of their shooting, with the breeze in the first half, was poor. They also took way too much out of the ball. They didn't get too many goal scoring opportunities which was great to see though. hey should have been 6 or 7 points up in the first half and they ended up drawing at ht with 3 late points.

We were economical when we had the ball. But some of our marking was píss poor. I remember a puckout and then another pass that lead to a limerick point in the first half and there wasn't a Cork player within 15 yards of either man, shocking.
Not sure why we didn't start with 15 in the second half, surely Pa knew he couldn't play at ht.
Great to see paudie get a good half under his belt. Having someone of his calibre to call on from the bench is a wonderful advantage.
That bunch of players certainly deserved their Munster medal!

Fireball07

Well done lads, fair play to ye're lot for getting the win. Can't say ye didn't deserve it on the day. Both sides had chances to win it, and Cork took theirs and that was the difference.

It's been a while for ye, enjoy it!

Are the Spillanes and Collins named brothers? Strong looking side.

The Spillanes are. Nearly 100% the Collins' are but not certain.

Probably the best we have but think we'll be lacking scores.

pa callaghan (Ballyhea) and Conor twomey (newtownshandrum) not even on the panel !

Orizio

Pa O'Callaghan opted out. Twomey still very young. Surprised Kelleher isn't involved.

That team is missing O'Callaghan, Micheal Cahalane, Sweetnam, Kieran Histon and I assume Walsh, Dennehy and Kevin O'Keeffe are all injured as well or surely they would be starting.

Mind you even with all of them I'd expect them to lose. Rickard Cahalane is the best prospect on the panel outside of the lads on the senior squad. Cian Buckley is also supposed to be in fine form.
