To be fair to Galway they have won a senior all Ireland more recently than Cork, and have a very good championship record against us since 2008 as well. In nearly all of those games Galway were the better team, but i felt that Cork threw last summers championship game against Galway away, but sure that's just my own opinion!

Outstanding by UCC to win the Sigerson tonight in Waterford.

Conditions were simply atrocious, truly abysmal, they were well ahead but UL came back well with 7 points in a row to take a 2 point lead with less than 10 left and there looked the likely winners but UCC got back ahead with only a minute left but UL got a very good equaliser and it went into Extra Time.

UCC coming out eventual winners on a scoreline of 1-16 v 0-16

Billy Morgan does the business again with UCC - winning it as a player as far back as 1966, a Legend of a man.

2 rounds of the league has nothin to do with it... the underage success of both counties particularly Cork would suggest that there day at senior level is not too far away... they have found an absolute gem of a hurler in Ciaran Joyce at centre back... plenty more of the underage players are coming thru... like Kerry football team with the 5-in-a-row minors it mite take a year or 2 to adjust to the pace but more importantly develop physically but success is not too far away... Tipp will be there or thereabouts as welll for the same reasons...

Please tell me what other counties have the talent coming through and the underage success that Cork and Tipp have had in recent years that makes them contenders...??

I see what you mean.

Since 2016 Tipp have won two minors. Cork have one. Galway must have four minors in the same time.

Under 21/20 - Tipp have two. Cork have two. I think.

Yes, plenty of players coming. But we only have to look at Galway to see that underage doesn't guarantee anything. I think Limerick, Kilkenny, Waterford, Dublin, and Clare are producing a lot of talent too.

I hope you're right that Tipp and Cork will have a seat at the top table for a while. But there might be a few developments yet.

Cork were beaten in the U20 football

On the other hand, in the opening round of the Camogie league an easy win for Cork

Cork 3-17 Dublin 0-5

Cork were 2-11 to 0-1 up at half time. Much as I am happy with Cork winning, surely Dublln should be doing better.

In Minor Ladies Football, Cork got the defence of their Munster and All-Ireland ladies football minor championship titles off to a winning start at Mallow on Saturday.

Cork 4-8 Tipperary 1-4

ShamoBuc · 19-02-2023 5:10pm

We are certainly using the kick pass well in the first half. Hurley benefitting from the fast ball and causing a lot of problems.

1-04 of the 1-05 from play.

2nd goal shouldn’t have been disallowed

He had half a boot in the square, normally that would not be given. We should have had another one too. I hope we don't live to regret these chances not taken.

Cork2021 · 19-02-2023 5:44pm

Extremely harsh second yellow for Maguire there

ShamoBuc · 19-02-2023 5:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120261809#Comment_120261809

The first was very soft but the second was a joke.

Game is gone now, our shooting hasn’t helped either

mossie · 19-02-2023 6:26pm

So close at the end from Hurley.

ACitizenErased · 19-02-2023 6:27pm

That effort will stand to them. Even when 5 points down we never looked out of it.

The referee was a disgrace

ShamoBuc · 19-02-2023 6:27pm

Yes, Cork lost, but that was a super performance in fairness. So much to be positive about. Our scorer in chief, Sherlock, was off the boli but Hurley stepped up and was a whisker away from scoring the winning goal with the last kick of the game - a man of the match performance.

Straight Talker · 19-02-2023 6:42pm

We gave it a good go in fairness. There's huge positives to take from this performance, of course some of the refereeing decisions didn't help either but sure that's just the way it is! Overall we were unlucky not to beat Dublin i think.

crossman47 · 19-02-2023 8:42pm

Can someone explain to me how a minor jersey pull is a yellow card and some tackles that border on assault are not?

As soon as he booked him the first time, I felt sure he would send him off at some point.

It was a truly awful decision. The same can be said for the Dublin red too, that was never in a million years a yellow.

thats what i have been saying about this side , excellent attitude today , yes there are certain limitations to the side but that was an excellent performance and a really good game

jokes aside i would love to bottle the confidences in cork hurling and football and bring it up here , we threw away a 5 point lead against kildare today because we were afraid to take them on , last week a comment emerged on here that in hurling ourselves and galway have serious all ireland potential but only ever tap into it one in a blue moon , its 100% accurate , send up a bottle of fresh air next week and see if it dose something for our lads against dublin saturday night , they might need it 😁

1997 really was some year for Clare. That was the year you knocked Cork out of both the hurling and football championships. Our summer was over by the end of June! The old instant knockout championship format had to go, but a part of me still misses it all the same.

And yes that was the last time we really had that attitude about our selves on the field , its amazing how expectations change from one county to the next , even looking at limerick their supporters still look nervous despite their embarrassment of riches , they would never do up in tyrone!!

and before you say anything we do have a fair swagger off the field but that wins nothing , kilkenny with yer 4 all irelands ye have a fine habit of calling us 😏😁

Boots234 · 20-02-2023 4:45pm

Is Maguire suspended for the next game or is he ok with the fact it was 2 yellows?

What's wrong with Horgan?

The White Feather · 23-02-2023 10:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120281159#Comment_120281159

He has a slight injury so he is being rested.

Patrick Horgan started against Limerick, scoring four points from play, but he was ruled out for the trip to Salthill and manager Pat Ryan won’t risk the Glen Rovers man this time around, either.

“Patrick has a chest injury,” he says. “He got a bang against Limerick. He saw out the match but it’s been sore, it’s just a slow thing.

He’s doing hurling and running and all that side but it’s just the contact, we want to make sure that he’s okay.

“It’s nothing too serious, he’d be able to play if it was a championship match but we’ll wait until he’s 100 percent.”

Well, Pat, I consider my fantasy team a championship match.

Cheers for that.

The White Feather · 23-02-2023 10:39pm

A controversy is developing in Camogie as they have scheduled an All Stars trip to Canada one week before the start of the Championship. The 7 Cork players have decided to boycott the trip. The timing of the trip is definitely treating the players shabbily.

Several players and ex players have tweeted about it
