Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Interesting that you said that because in this article that I was reading Linda Mellerick says the Camogie team should have went all out to beat Galway the week before their final. Then they would have played Tipperary in the final and she thinks we would beat them easier. So maybe it does pay off to think about who we want to play in the final and who would suit us better!

"Galway, like Cork, have injuries and were without key players and, already qualified, Cork gave their panel members a run. We were coming into the final with a better team ‘on paper’.

But, in hindsight, that was a mistake. Had Cork beaten Galway, they would have faced Tipperary in the final. 

They would have beaten Tipp, of that I’m sure, and it would have been a league medal, important silverware, and a first win since 2018 in HQ."

I think that would have required a series of unlikely results to put us in Tailteann like Tipp beating Kerry which didn't happen.

Today the Cork Minor Camogie team qualified for the All Ireland final beating Galway in the semi

She has some cheek saying things like that…

Similar comments made ahead of Sarsfields’ Munster Camogie Semi-Final against Scariff-Ogonnelloe. ‘I haven’t seen Scariff play but you’d imagine that the Cork champions would beat the Clare champions’

First of all with Sarsfields losing their county final and 2nd of all, Cork clubs haven’t done anything for years

Barry Walsh returning to the team is a big plus

The Kerry free taker takes an age to kick the ball. Surely he cant be allowed to take that long every time.

We have missed 2 goal chances where we have missed the target completely. Very disappointing

Ref gave them a free out when it should have been a free in just there

This game is over already and its not even half time. Unless Cork get a few goals this is a write off.

O'Driscoll is the captain and has been beaten about 3 times on the turn already. Should be taken off

Jesus if Cork football is in bad state now it looks like it aint getting better anytime soon on this basis. Brutal by u20s.

Embarrassed for them

only Blackrock end on ticketmaster anyway. Dont think Waterford travel in big numbers, was only 1 terrace open in Thurles yesterday

Think that was the Gaa decision only to open one terrace yesterday for both sets of supporters yesterday, not sure about this weekend.. There are Plenty of Waterford supporters travelling this Sunday AFAIK

Simply awful.

I just don't know how Cork football is always this way. Some nice footballers who are never coached properly it seems. We aren't winning nothing for long long time.

How long is Shane Kingston out for?

available for selection, maybe lacking match practice

Supposed to be very close to playing. He is training away but the match might be too soon. Sounds like he may be sub or given a half type of thing.

Limerick 1-14 Cork 0-20 FT

Minor game was very interesting. Both sides were very good. Cork were getting on top in the first half when Limerick got a goal and it drove them on for the half. Going in a point ahead

Second half Cork were much tighter tackling and Biggane, Lynch and Walsh were the standouts. Limerick missed about four frees in a row that would have kept it closer. Should really be getting them. But Cork were really tigerish in their tackling in the second half and were giving Limerick nothing easy. In the first half Limerick got numerous very easy points. Work rate was immense from Cork in the second half

Only disappointing thing is Cork picked up numerous injuries. Walsh seemed to be limpng throughout the second half too. Now straight into the Munster final!
