Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Outside of Limerick i think we're well capable of beating anyone. The main thing is to make sure we get out of Munster and then take things from there. I don't agree with this talk that it was good that we lost, just because it meant that we avoided Limerick. Limerick are a challenge that we have to try and face up to and deal with, i see no point in trying to hide from them.

Limerick have been the standard setters in hurling in the last five years, and that's the level we have to get to. Hurling has changed so much from the sport i grew up watching though.

I remember against Waterford in 1999 when we gave six players their championship debuts. You couldn't do that in the modern era, because the game has gotten so physical in the last seventeen or so years. The young fellas would just be eaten alive!

Those great Kilkenny teams under Brian Cody and the current Limerick team under John Kiely, have totally transformed and changed the landscape of hurling. We have struggled to adapt to that changing landscape. In the more modern era of hurling, you have to earn the right to hurl before you can hurl!

Given our injuries then getting out of Munster would be great, anymore a bonus. Expose the young players to senior hurling and be patient with them.

3-19 to 0-15 FT. great start to the championship

He was great and Barry Walsh got me out my seat down the Pairc - that was some pair of goals. We were far better than Waterford all over the pitch in fairness.

Cork 1-9 Waterford 1-10 HT. Waterford the better side in the 1st half but a goal from Colin Walsh and a couple of points before halftime has us right back in the game

we are 2 up with 10 to go

He's a serious player alright Shamo. Has all the signs to be a great hurler going forward.

If you walk across the bridge to merchants quay shopping centre you can get the 202 bus to the venue bar on blackrock road, which is 5 mins walk from the stadium
