    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.

    Would do no harm imo, he's not a starter as he cannot win his own ball. He's best suited to coming on fresh and running at hopefully tiring opposition.

    Ben O'Connor has signed a contract with the Munster rugby academy. Extremely difficult decision for him, his first love is hurling but being able to play a sport professionally is what swung it. In fairness to Munster rugby they are allowing him finish out the GAA season.

    Waterford only lost narrowly to Limerick, so we'll have to be at our best to beat them. This is a team that went toe to toe with Limerick in championship combat. Something we haven't done since 2019 when we beat Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

    Is that team close to or basically the same as played the last 3 games?

    I don’t believe that was an Echo show that day - that was Big Red Bench on RedFM. It came across awfully.

    Damien Cahalane starting for Cork at the weekend. Anytime he is involved with Cork they are going nowhere. Is there someone better in the county to replace him? I can't answer that but he's there along time and isn't good enough In my view. Has got his opportunities over the years along with Conor Lehane. We will see what this year brings but not confident with the above still involved. Just my view with the team for the weekend. If Cork want to be successful they are going to have to at least drop these players from the panel. If this was Tipp or Killkenny they wouldn't get a second chance or Limerick of late.

    Cork Hurling Team for Sunday. Tommy O’Connell, Brian Roche and Declan Dalton get handed their first Championship starts. Eoin Downey is suspended and his brother comes in at Full Back. Fitzgibbon is back. Shane Kingston, Tim O'Mahony and Robbie O’Flynn are among the subs. Our subs look a lot stronger this year in my opinion.

    Subs: Ger Collins (Ballinhassig), Cormac O’Brien (Newtownshandrum), Tim O’Mahony (Newtownshandrum), Brian O’Sullivan (Kanturk), Ethan Twomey (St Finbarr’s), Conor Cahalane (St Finbarr’s), Brian Hayes (St Finbarr’s), Seán Twomey (Courcey Rovers), Robbie O’Flynn (Erin’s Own), Pádraig Power (Blarney), Shane Kingston (Douglas).

    Two Cork keepers from one household. That's unreal. And I guess the full back position too. Is that a first? Has to be. Two brothers on the same panel. Starting and sub for one position. (I know Eoin is suspended. but it will be the case soon)

    With O'Connor if it doesn't work out for him with rugby he could eventually return to GAA as happened with Alan Tynan.

    He'll be as big a loss as Setanta was 20 years ago. An absolute disaster for us again losing out to another oval shaped ball

    Cork have lost their opening Munster Championship match 4x years in a row. (Includes 2 years of the Knockout system).

    Similar batch of players, and with Waterford having the aid of being able to gather some good data on last week, I have a feeling they'll come to PUC and knick the match.

    I'd say Sweetnam was a much bigger loss than Setanta.

    Limerick leading 0-9 to 0-4 after 20 min. Fair enough Limerick have more to play for but we are 2nd to every ball, kinda going through the motions

    Just about to say the same thing. Every ball we are second to or a few steps behind. We look like we haven't got out of first gear yet. At least its only 4 points behind as I type

    Healy goal gets us back into it, 0-11 to 1-6.

    We've started to get into the game in the last 5 of the half.

    Cremin had 5 attempts before he got the ball in hand but a quick offload lead to the first goal of the game.

    Only 3 down at ht. Considering how we've played, we have to be happy with the score.

    Limericks number 14 could well have been sent off, use of the hurley after a bit of shouldering. Not even a yellow. No harm done, but still.

    Limerick seem to be getting their frees rather easily.

    You can see O'Connor was very rusty throughout. Def a second yellow card.

    Should have been about 3 frees for Cork in this passage at the 59th min as I type and the ref somehow gives a free out for Limerick!!

    Clear free in and the ref gives a free

    e out - incredibly poor decision.


    But Cunningham wallops over a great point to take the lead with 3 mins injury time left. The 14 men doing well v 16.
