excellent second half could have been much more , no sherlock either , i have been talking ye up for a while now i expect ye to hit division 1 before long , hopfully we can do ye a favor in derry in two weeks time but i highly doubt it on our showing today ,

It’s crazy with the politics in cork gaa that he didn’t get the job 10 years ago

We haven't heard from Lupin in a while. Not to worry though, i'm sure he'll be back whenever the hurlers or footballers lose again!😁

The u20s will play Wexford in a challenge game at 1:45 before the senior game

A good win in the end. We didn't look that interested in the first half and Wexford were really working hard. Then we got going a bit and began to play. I don't think we were trying that hard to win until near the end. When there is a few points in it, we all want to drive on and get the win.

Another 2 goals scored which is very nice. We really look a goal threat now from a lot of players. Felt a bit sorry for Jack O'Connor getting sent off. He was obviously busting a gut trying to impress but was a small bit reckless.

Great to see Harnedy get a few mins as well as Cadogan. Lot of younger players putting their hands up. Power looks to have a great touch and will be a great asset to bring on in the Championship.

Lot of things we can improve on though and this was a great learning experience. 20 mins without scoring and still pulled out the win.

The encouraging thing is that we're winning games, and we still have a fair few of our more experienced players to come back into the team. I'm not overly fussed about winning the league, but still though if we win it it's some national silverware in the bag. We haven't had that since 2005, and it's almost been quarter of a century since we last won the league. I still think though that whoever wins the league, will find themselves in possession of a poisoned chalice going forwards.

Wexford were just as bad, we made them look way better than they are. Very disappointed in a number of players today who I thought were having good leagues.

We won and are in the league semi finals, and we still have some regulars from last year to come back into the panel. So far we're ticking along just fine in both codes imo. That of course could change though!

Wexford full strength are excellent but if you look back at our game against them last year , they lost Rory O'Connor early on then O'Keefe and Mathew o hannlon in the last ten minutes , the last two were the difference plus Damien reck was out on his feat , but like ourselves first 15 very strong but weaknesses Start to show when a few are injured,

Cork have used this league well and have got some excellent scoring options out of it off the bench, something that was missing last year

Feel like Brion Saunderson is a future senior keeper. Thought he was outstanding again against Wexford. He has had a good year with UCC too.

Ladies football leading Kerry 1-9 to 0-4 at halftime. On TG4
