The White Feather

About the match yesterday, I read in De Paper that Darragh Fitzgibbon was not feeling well all week. Still played well though after being switched in the second half!

Also,Damian Cahalane was helped to the dressing room having heatstroke after the game and Lorcan Mcloughlin was seen in a sling which is why he was replaced by Dean Brosnan late on after coming on himself.

Shows how hot is was out there and great fitness levels from all in the Cork team.

The actual longest undefeated record in Munster hurling championships stands at 15 games held by Cork from 1982 until 87 replay.

The White Feather

Is that live on tg4 too or even deferred coverage?

ShamoBuc

Think it's live on tg4 and the Leinster u21 final is delayed.

Who would we like to get in the semi final ,assuming we can't draw Clare.Kilkenny? Once we don't get sucked into a physical battle we should have the speed and hurling to take them.I imagine the gas would love cork v Limerick as it would draw a massive crowd.

ShamoBuc

Think we could end up with Galway if kk win next week.

Don't actually care.

Bring on whoever!

mossy464

Anyone know when we might get confirmation of which semi we will be in? Saturday or Sunday?

Will HQ leave it until the quarter finals are over to decide?

Definitely Kilkenny. It doesn't count as an all-ireland unless you beat Kilkenny along the way

The thought of that gives me chills, not even the thought of winning it. Would just be amazing to go into a big game against Kilkenny after all these years with such momentum behind us.

Well we won all Irelands in 1984 1986 1990 and 2005, without beating Kilkenny, and i don't feel that those all Irelands are cheapened.Getting one over on Kilkenny would be great.But seeing that i live in Galway, seeing Cork knock them off their perch would be sweet.:cool:

I remember it well, there wasn't half the buzz as there would be this time though.

zetecescort

early Tipp penalty saved by Collins, 0-1 each after 4 min

zetecescort

Robbie O'Flynn goal, 1-5 to 0-2 after 15min

zetecescort

Cork 1-12 Tipp 0-5 HT. Some fine scores and great workrate, Tipp getting no time on the ball

ShamoBuc

Ht Cork 1-12 v 0-05
I fancied this team to do well after the way the Waterford game went. But tonight they started well and got better. Some outstanding scores and pressure being applied. Healy caught and delivered the outstanding point of the night over his shoulder on the sideline.

The White Feather

Yes a very strong performance so far.

We seem to be out working Tipp and some excellent score taking.

Goalkeeper made a fine save and is hitting some very clever puck outs so we seem to win possession a lot.

Dalton has some strike of a sliothar. Seems to hit it very sweetly.
Unbelievable point from Healy there. I know some of his family and they have been telling me how good he is for ages.

Just have to keep things going in the second half.

ted2767

Lock the gates and make Tipp watch
We’ve taken plenty beatings of that lot

zetecescort

bit of a lull in the 2nd half as you might expect, 2-16 to 0-11 with 10 min left

You’ve just struck 22 of Cork’s 30 All Ireland senior hurling titles from the record.

zetecescort

some great scores but some great defending too to deny Tipp a goal. Robbie O'Flynn after picking up a knock

zetecescort

2-23 to 1-13 FT. well done to all involved

ShamoBuc

Awesome performance all Ireland is there all going well.

Ompala

Congrats lads, awesome performance from your lads tonight. I hope that Tipp team bounces back as plenty of good hurlers on it, but 2nd best tonight. Ye are strong favourites for the All Ireland now.

Lot of talented players there and Ring & Co had them working very hard last night

Wexford will put it up to us in the semi final though

Sprinter Sacre

Might be worth trying Mark Coleman out at 6 next year in the league. What a player.
