Did I hear that Kilkenny have the wind advantage ? I know ye are saying it's a defensive system but you'd take adavantage of what sounds like a very strong wind.

It's like Tyrone in football.

And the only way to change their formation is to get into a nice lead, like we are doing, game is really flowing, credit the ref.

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2017 4:24pm

Aishling Thompson is all over the field.

Yes Cork won the toss and opted to play against the wind

And they've got five points against the wind so imagine what they can do with the wind.

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 4:32pm

Great first half display, totally out playing kk. We are running at them at every opportunity, creating chances. 5 v 2 up is great considering we were against the wind but playing ball towards that wind will strangely help kk.

The first goal will be huge!!

Dirty Dingus McGee · 10-09-2017 4:35pm

Great bit of skill by the Cork goalie about 5 minutes before half time when she flicked the ball without catching it straight over to one of the Cork corner backs.

Has Briege Corkery stopped playig camogie?

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 4:47pm

Slightly off topic, but Anna Geary looks amazing in the studio!

yeah, didn't play football either this year. 3 points no lead for the possession we had, nearly 20 min without scoring in the 1st half

Briege has stepped back from both codes.

No fair play.

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2017 4:54pm

Killkenny have started the second half a lot better than cork. Cork would want to wake up.

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 4:55pm

I don't like the way the Cork goalkeeper/defence are launching puckouts down the middle into where the KK defence is clustered.We have to play down the wings.

Lead is gone after only 7 mins so its getting worrying

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 4:56pm

10 gone and kk take the lead, we need to get back into this fast.

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2017 5:00pm

43 minutes gone and it's cork 0-08 Kilkenny 0-08

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 5:05pm

We keep launching attacks into the middle of their goal, We need to go out to the sides and draw them out.

zetecescort · 10-09-2017 5:07pm

Forwards winning no ball

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:08pm

Could we have 2 draws today?

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:09pm

Very brave from Aisling there, would love a cork goal!

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:11pm

5 left a point down

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 5:13pm

I keep saying it but we are not going to win unless we go down the sides. Every Cork attack is going through their centre where they have loads of players

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2017 5:17pm

Gemma o Connor doubt ya.

DDC1990 · 10-09-2017 5:17pm

What a score there from O'Connor. Stunning equalizer.

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:17pm

Gemma!

5 left

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:19pm

Terribly soft free there and delighted she missed.

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 5:19pm

That was never a free. Shocking decision by the ref

Thankfully they missed it

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:22pm

Did not think you could solo the ball ? Should gave been a free to cork

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2017 5:24pm

Cork win by one.

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 5:24pm

What a fcuking finish to a game!!!

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:24pm

Absolutely ****ín delighted!!

Reena Buckley becomes the most decorated person in the Gaa !

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:27pm

When Julia came on I said make a name for yourself, and boy did she do that!

SeaFields · 10-09-2017 5:29pm

That was a score of the highest quality to win. Cracking way to win an all Ireland. Well done girls.

She got the winner score but Gemma O Connor scored a mighty point.

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 5:30pm

Aislings inspiriring catch....Gemmas inspiring score......Julias golden score..... Reena winning her 18th.....beating the Cats like that.....top of the pile on the honours list......what a day for our ladies....absolutely thrilled for them, totally deserving of the accolades!

Brian017 · 10-09-2017 5:36pm

Congratulations, 3 AI's in 4 years is a fantastic achievement!

Devastated for our ladies though. They put their heart and soul into it and to lose it with the last puck must be a very sickening way to lose a match

The White Feather · 10-09-2017 5:38pm

I thought Cork had better players but KK were very well drilled in their jobs. They nearly made it but unfortunately for them the one slip up at the end led to our winning point.

KK should really have cleared that and it would have been a draw.But still Cork still have to put the points over and Gemmas equaliser and Julia's winner were top class. Julia barely had room to swing her hurley(or hurl depending on where you are from!)

Aisling Thompson was fantastic. Works so hard and always seems to have time as she looks so cool under pressure

It must be Very tough...and to top it off it lashes down right on the full time whistle.

Setting out with such a defensive system while playing with the strong wind was a wrong decision.

rebel girl 15 · 10-09-2017 5:45pm

What a game - what a point by Gemma to equalise and by Julia to win it. Had my English housemate watching it, during Rena's speech she was like, I haven't a clue what she is saying and then I had to explain that she was speaking in Irish!

One or two Cork players who possibly should have been taken off earlier than they were - delighted to see a number of girls I coached when they were under 13 feature in both games.

Absolutely delighted for Rena to be the first person ever to captain their county to camogie and football All Ireland titles - fantastic role model for any sports person. I really hope there is a decent crowd out tomorrow night to welcome both teams home.

I missed the final 10 seconds of the game, RTE player/laptop froze so by the time I managed to refresh it Rena was about to lift the cup - little bit of an anti climax there!

gifted · 10-09-2017 6:24pm

Great result, delighted for out cork ladies...though Eimear o'sullivan had a great game, got hooked a few times but put in a great shift

zetecescort · 10-09-2017 9:58pm

Camogie team due in Kent station at 7:30 tomorrow, stopping in Mallow on the way

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 10:01pm

Player of the match...Orla Cronin, 3 points from play and a very deserving winner!!

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 10:08pm

Aoife Murray in goal ..... Rena Buckley......full back....Aisling Thompson midfield.....Orla Cronin centre foward.....Orla Cotter half foward......Amy O'Connor corner foward on the Camogie team of the year. Hard not to see Gemma there but Dalton had a super year aswell.

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 10:10pm

Camogie player of the year.....Rena !!

ShamoBuc · 10-09-2017 10:28pm

Delighted the difference in standards of the refereing was pointed out. The whistle happy lady in the intermediate final was Way too strict and not once did she allow an advantage in comparison the senior game flowed.

MrDerp · 14-09-2017 12:11pm

Quick question folks - I've got visitors coming from out foreign in a couple of weeks and they're keen to see a bit of hurling. Any chance there'll be a senior or intermediate semi on Saturday October 7?

Looking to plan other activities around it and they're gone Sunday afternoon. I don't see much in the way of fixture dates on the various websites so I'm assuming fixtures are pretty fluid to allow for replays etc.

KrustyUCC · 14-09-2017 12:22pm

As you say fixtures are fluid

Senior semi finals in both codes the last few years are usually on a Sunday

You have a good chance of PIHC or IHC semi finals being on a Saturday

KrustyUCC · 14-09-2017 1:10pm

Won't be the PIHC semi finals anyway

Páirc Uí Rinn will host the two very attractive PIHC semi-finals next Saturday night with Cloyne taking on Mallow at 5.30pm and Kanturk against Ballinhassig at 7.15pm

very hard replace once in a generation players but with our continued underage success we wont be too far away the next few years

I wouldn't be confident that the best players will be brought forward .team selection very prone to favouritism or corruption at all levels in cork lgfa something I don't see changing any time soon. the no.1 obstacle to success in my opinion
