A good read
The part about the cork camoige team being well coached in Murray had a huge team back room with him is a point i made last week about the people he brought in in its not about a manager alone it's the team he has with him
Good to read a piece in a paper saying this and Cork even had a goal keeping coach and it shows cork success isn't down to luck on any given day but there set up is top class

It's seems like best hurling team prepared alongside donal og grady team years ago where he big back room team with nutrition, s and c goal keeping video assessment etc

The point about Murray wanting gps but knows money is not allow that and fair enough as they don't have money but shows the mindset all the same of he's thinking
It's no great surprise then he's got cork to three finals winning two and real chance three in a row
The level of preparation in ladies game by cork in football and hurling is leading the way in the women's game and it's great to see
He's always looking for the way to improve and gain an edge on next year

Would Kingston(Hurling) and Powter(football) be ready to play senior next year ????

Midelton bid three in a row dean Ryan cup still on after a win today
Colmans beaten and ag by a point.

I agree one more year would do them the world of good, I heard they both are able to play Corn ni Mhuiri and Harty as well if so rochestown are in for another long year

I was talking to a cork hurler last week, he told me most of the city lads can't get on with Landers. he also told me Pat Mul had the Cork job if he wanted it but he'd be out of pocket too much if he took it. he asked would CCB reimburse him the balance and he was refused in no uncertain terms. I've no reason to doubt the player.

They may well be ready but neither of them will even play u21 next year. Their education comes first and that makes a lorra sense.

If so this would be a huge loss for both teams

Still no white smoke re our senior team managements ...just another thing that struck me the nominations are out for the u21 hurling of the year players from , Tipp, Limerick, Clare , Waterford, Dublin , Kilkenny, Galway , as well as Carlow and Antrim are on it and no Cork player ...a reflection of where Cork hurling is at the moment..

when is the next board meeting? next week or two?

Mallow/Fr O'Neills drew in u21 hurling q/final tonight. Nip and tuck most of the way. Mallow went 5 up shortly before half time (3 in it at h/t) but O'Neills scored the next 8 points on the bounce to take a three point lead half way through the second half. Mallow then came back into it with a goal to level and then kicked on to lead by 4 with 5 minutes left. Fair play to O'Neills they didn't give in and scored 1 1 to level it and send it to a replay. Very poor first half (27th minute before a point from play) with a better second half which finished in a welter of excitement. Overall not a great standard (in keeping with this year's u21 fare generally - no standout teams) but we'll worth the fiver in given the exciting finish.

Looks like Cleary is back at the head of the list for the Cork job per the Southern Star and the Echo.

This is a huge huge absoultey magnificent day for cork football in yes clearly has question marks in some eyes but no one can really debate with proven logic he's not by a country mile the best available stand out candidate cork job at present and when you think who could got cork job it really shows how great this is


Yes process ongoing but I have absoultey no doubt clearly has it now as he made it clear before he was undecided on the job appointment process and as medical said pulled out last week he wouldn't go back unless he knew too well he had it

Just a case I feel of it being confirmed
In cork gaa you never know but I'd be surprised if he didn't get it now

Have no doubt watching Dublin and kerry sunday further under lined to the players the huge gap appearing and it's now or never for some of them so needed management challenge next two years
The one good thing also is Tompkins always strong ccb ally was hugely for clearly getting the job
The point is most cork football were all for clearly
No doubt compromise was probably reached in clearly had to give a little but I'm sure basic foundation he stayed firm to
Clearly played this beautiful from day one in always said in conservation way would be interested but under certain circumstances
Even when he was out of the race he never spoke

He was diplomatic and like last two years never once spoke out
The vote not that he needed it of sympathy was with him cork football and fact he's best record available and now players belive in him was key
Liam shorten in the paper week ago said he was the man for it

Clearly will bring professional standards to cork imo as league will be focused on in performance and staying up but won't be be and end all
He'll target championship
As under twenty one manager he always took challenge matches focus trying things and some games he lost but championship always cork primed
Many times had under twenty one football training gougan barra in January in preparation for the spring
He had goal keeping coach video assessment etc you name it
It should be interesting he's back room team but I suspect one man will definitely be there
Maybe not I could be wrong but I think clearly will bring in experience

There's day in sport that off field change future
Cork strikes football getting counihan over Holland and o grady getting hurling in similar scenario was good future
Roy keane saipain changed irish soccer for better
Ireland rubgy loosing to Argentina in lens marked end of ameauteaur game was turning point
Cork ladies ten years ago demanding change management like camoige team wanting change three years ago

This story with cleary has long way to go to see how successful he'll be but one thing for sure is cork will be better than last year and at least top four
Cleary back in the race imo means he has the job and correctly so
Yes he has to prove himself like any manager but he has a record at least to have foundation success
Mick deegsn Dublin selector even proven in won leinster and county title coach he club
Mark ingle dunne all proveproven in sport
Gavin proven football
Cleary gives cork start least we never had last year in he's some track record in club and county at least
