Replay next Sunday at 1pm before the hurling final. will be some crowd down there now with the official opening too

pakie ed · 16-10-2017 6:04am

Going to finals next Sunday. Where is the best place to park, coming from the north side

zetecescort · 16-10-2017 9:59am

if you don't mind a walk park in any of the city centre car parks. if your there early to see the football what I usually do is park above at Pairc Ui Rinn and walk down. will probably need to be right early though next week

What are peoples predictions for the games this weekend?

Barrs v Nemo
&
Blackrock v Imokilly

Ron Burgundy II · 17-10-2017 4:03pm

Mine;

Haven't seen any football games this year so can't really comment on that final.

But it has to be Imokilly for the hurling. I've seen them play against Erins Own and Sars and the forward line of Harnedy and O'Sullivan is something else. I don't see Blackrock being able to handle them.

I fancy Nemo, was surprised they didn't see it out at the weekend.
I fancied imokily all year. But I'm from blackrock. Blackrock will seriously put it up to them physically. They basically beat up na piarsiag who were really in form in the semis. I think Will Leahy will be missing too for the aghada game but not sure, if so he will be a big miss.
Can see paudie sull getting squeezed out of it and harnedy coming in for some serious treatment.
The imokilly backline is not great tbh,I can see them being out fought a lot, and they leak a lot of goals even with Dalton in there.
A lot will come down to who wins the physical battle, I can see it being pretty low scoring with big battles between the 45's. The ref will have a big say too.
Imokilly are certainly favorites, but there's a lot of hunger in blackrock to win this and a good few of them lads just lost the prem intermediate football at the weekend and that will drive them on even more.
I'm putting my money on the Rockies anyway....

Cant see Rockies defense holding Imokilly. It going to be like a funeral like atmosphere if the divisional side win.

Nemo, should be a close affair again
Imokilly, really think they could steamroll Rockies here

ShamoBuc · 18-10-2017 6:43pm

I fully expect the Barrs to win the replay. Their midfield were totally on top throughout and they won't go 8 or 9 points behind.

I doubt if imokily will lose either, they really are bang in form.

Meyler as Senior Coach, no backroom team announced as of yet. A good backroom team here that the team are in favour of will be crucial to how Cork fare next year.

The White Feather · 19-10-2017 2:39pm

I am very happy with Meyler taking over. I really think he could do very well.

I hope I am proved right!

As you say ECKS, the backroom team is vital especially nowadays

nlrkjos · 19-10-2017 2:44pm

Great appointment, knows the players, knows the opposition, rakes of experience. Hopefully the same backroom team...and a wee bit of input from Kingston could help. Best of luck for league and championship.

ShamoBuc · 19-10-2017 7:40pm

Meyler is a very good choice.

Straight Talker · 19-10-2017 7:45pm

I don't think this is a good appointment at all.Meyler would be an establishment man.But i hope to be proven wrong.

He has the experience of managing other countues already. He has been involved for the past few years. He is a well respected individual in Cork hurling. He ticks a lot of boxes.

DuffleBag · 19-10-2017 11:31pm

Jesus i dunno lads. It's a very underwhelming appointment. He has zero experience of success at senior level, bar a micky mouse cup with Kerry. Having said that, people were eery about Kingston's appointment too. He didn't inspire much confidence from the U21 performance this year, even with the 2 lads were missing v limerick.

It'll be interesting to see who he has in the backroom. He'll need a strong one. Early word is Donal O'Mahony is one of the backroom.

Supposedly Frank is staying on. To be confirmed at Monday's meeting.

pakie ed · 20-10-2017 5:57am

John Myler appointment, a good old solid inside job by Frank and the County Board . It's just moving chairs around. We will give him every chance but he will need a very good backroom team with him. No surprise that Frank is staying.

With the injuries he's had I'd wonder if he's even fit enough to play inter county football again, they have to have taken their toll.

Hopefully I'm wrong as he was a fantastic player.

Yes that's very true

It could be worthwhile for Cork Gaa to bring him home and even work on his issues for a yr. Give him the best medical care etc and see where he is in a year

He's only 26 and would be a massive addition to Cork if we could get him right

He was a huge reason why we won the 2010 all ireland an i do think he will have a lot to offer in the future unless he stays in OZ

ShamoBuc · 22-10-2017 1:45pm

Nemo Winning 2-06 V 1-05 at ht, scoring 1-02 in 10 mins injury time.

ShamoBuc · 22-10-2017 2:31pm

No joy for the Barrs as Nemo win on a scoreline of 4-12 v 3-13

DuffleBag · 22-10-2017 7:47pm

Good win for Imokilly. Poor enough game overall. Paudie Sull didnt puck a ball in the second half, and only for the goal Harnedy was kept under wraps by Niall Cashman. Cian Fleming who so much was expected was hauled ashore early. Brian Lawton and Ger Millerick won the midfield battle. A shame they cant go on and represent Cork. Blackrock wouldnt be within an asses roar of Munster.

pakie ed · 22-10-2017 11:38pm

Proud day for Cork Gaa, super Stadium. Saw the first one been built and have great memories of matches there. Don't think I will be around for the next one. Two Finals weren't classics but both gave entertainment to us. Great to see See Seamie Hardney captain Imokilly, had a average game but still came up with the scores. The Rockies could be on the rise again but why did they not bring on no 18 Tadgh Deasy earlier caused a lot of problems for Imokilly defence.

Why is it a shame? Only clubs can play in the Munster CLUB championship.

BobBobBobBob · 23-10-2017 7:00am

Handy win for Kanturk over St. Marys.

Well the colleges are allowed. These fellas are more of a club than them surely. Not having a pop at the colleges, I agree with them being in the championship.

0byme75341jo28 · 23-10-2017 6:27pm

I've no issue with the divisions being in the senior championship. Players should be allowed that themselves against the best if they're good enough. The likes of Harnedy/Paudie definitely deserve the chance to win a senior county medal.

I was only thinking that shortly after I posted!

munchkin_utd · 26-10-2017 7:46am

good article in the independent on the run up to the meeting and background to the "process" of getting the extension approved , and the various extensions over the years

The long goodbye for Cork GAA's grand master
Board's 12-month extension means Murphy's Law will continue for an incredible 45 years
Delegates to Cork County Board and supporters across the county could have been forgiven on Tuesday night if they felt a sense of deja-vu about the announcement that Frank Murphy was to have his contract as secretary extended by a further year and that in June the process to replace him would commence.
Sound familiar? That's because such a declaration has been made before, three times since this, the longest of long goodbyes, began in September 2009.

absolutely. don't know much about the structure of the championship but a real mess to rush every thing now and not play a few rounds in the summer. All Ireland series played after Christmas like the men so I don't know why the Munster fixture couldn't be put back a week atleast

Mallow 0-8 Dungarvan 0-7 HT in the Munster intermediate football.

Inniscarra 1-2 Inagh/Kilnamona 0-7 HT in Munster camogie.

pakie ed · 30-10-2017 12:11pm

Great win for Knocknagree in Junior Final, a small club from a rural part of Cork. The passion and pride was great to see. And their style of football was class, John Fintan's Daly has put his stamp on this Team. Also well done to Kanturk in the intermediate final, must say Shane Beston looks a class act for Mitchelstown

Mallow won Premier Intermediate so they are Cork's representative in Munster club championship Intermediate competition.
Mitchelstown probably left the game behind them, should have had 1-5 scored before Kanturk got off the mark. Kanturk took their chances better. Mitchelstown are a relatively young team with only one of the starting 15 over 30 so hopefully can build on this year.

Probably a bad sign that so many fellas, including those that worked with him last year (sully and the two pats) seem to not want to row in with him this year.

That and it taking so long to announce it appears he's almost having to beg fellas

Will there be a 2018 range of jackets/sportswear, or are they sticking with what they had this year? If they have new stuff - Will this be released before Christmas?

Looking to get my younger brother a christmas present so would appreciate the help. Thanks
