Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Next weeks fixtures:

Football - Cork v Limerick (Neutral)

Hurling - Cork v Antrim (away)

Kind draw for the footballers, decent chance we’ll be in QFs in both codes somehow

Does anyone know if the draw for the semi finals are pre-defined or does it depend on who gets through the earlier rounds?

I'm not for a second presuming Cork will get that far, but am I right in saying that if Cork and Clare both get through, then it'll be Cork v Limerick and Clare v Kilkenny in the semis?

And if it's Cork and Wexford both going through, then it'll be the opposite to avoid repeat pairings, so Kilkenny v Cork and Limerick v Wexford?

Yeah looks right. Repeat of provincial finals will be avoided as far as I know

bit of a bad patch for Beal Atha for the 10 or 15 min after half time but finish well to win for the 1st time, 2-10 to 0-11

I think if we beat Antrim and Galway, then it's Limerick in the semi finals.

Any one know if the Cork/Antrim game is going to be live streamed by any network?

Think Hurley had potential to be a great footballer but the injuries prevented it. Still handy on his day but can get marked out if it against the better teams .

Cork are really slack in the forwards. You’d need 2/3 better forwards plus a midfielder to consistently start making quarter and semi finals, rather than hoping for easy draws.

That said, I don’t think the tactics help the forwards. Slow build up, make sure to keep the ball and work out the wings before recycling backwards if nothing is on, which is often the case because the opposition are all back. Rare to see shots taken on from open play outside 30 meters and only a couple of players seem to want to take on shots.

I'm very sad to hear that Seamus Looney has passed away. Seamus of course played at midfield on our 1970 all Ireland winning team.

The one thing I'd have wanted from today was a good defensive display. Don't concede any goals. 2 goals conceded in 20+ mins against Antrim is just not good enough. Should still win this with a few to spare but it doesn't bode well really does it.

We can safely say that Cork won't go any further in the championship if we get over today. Typical Cork any team can beat them.

One of those games where you are happy to just get out with the win but we made hard work of it.

I expected us to start strong but we at least got going late in the second half. Cahalane did ok when he came on and Lehane was great again. We had to rely on out big guns to get us out of jail though.

Big improvement needed for Galway now
