He needs to improve on his one trick of out in front and turn and run. Lehane has the potential of being hurler of the year but has to improve on his Houdini act of disappearing for long spells. A lot of pressure on Ellis Sunday, let's just hope sully has them trained like animals at the back. Up the rebels can't wait for Sunday

I've been attending Tipp/Cork matches for as long as I can remember and seldom can I remember such a feable effort, even in the late 70's early 80's when Cork were totally dominant I don't think Tipp were ever as far off the pace as Cork were today, if Tipp wanted they could have won by 15 plus points. Hurling is in a much better place with a strong Cork, I really hope its a blip but all the evidence suggest otherwise.
