Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Cork really running away with it, great ladies

I really don't know what they can learn from today's game let's be honest?

Feel bit sorry for Waterford, but Cork were super.

That's not good enough for an All Ireland final. At one stage I saw the Waterford management talking on the sideline and they were having a laugh with themselves and their team getting beat out the park. I wouldn't be happy if I saw my management team laughing with themselves on the sideline and doing nothing to improve the situation. They came across as people who werent taking the task at hand seriously. They should be no where near an intercounty team if that's the attitude. They can laugh after the final whistle. That's my view on it.

Who's looking good for the senior hurling a few shocks at the weekend..

Suck it up mate.😁

Seriously are people actually offended, over someone having the opinion that Waterfords performance in the final was pathetic? I think that's just calling a spade a spade, Waterford offered up no challenge to Cork whatsoever. I honestly think in Waterfords case, that just making it as far as the final was their all Ireland.

Midleton beat the Glen 3-19 to 1-13

Yes the Glen and Bishopstown are out. Rockies and Midleton qualified for at least a quarter final

Quick SHC overview:

Group A

Midleton & Blackrock are through - winner of their game will probably get bye to semi

Bishopstown & Glen play - loser will go to relegation playoff - draw will see Bishopstown in playoff

Group B

Douglas are through, they play Charleville, Charleville through with a win & maybe a draw

Erins Own v Fr O'Neills winner would go through if Charleville lose to Douglas (If charleville draw a 3rd game it'll come down to points difference)

Group C

All still can qualify

Newtown v Sars a straight shootout - winner goes through (Draw sees Sars through)

Bars v Kanturk - If Bars win they are through if Kanturk win - Bars are out but Kanturk not 100% - might come down to score difference

My Predictions:

Semi final: Blackrock

Quarter final: Midleton; Douglas; Fr O'Neills; Sarsfields & St Finbarrs

Group C is very odd! If Kanturk had their shooting half way right they would’ve won both games!! Sars beating The Barrs comfortably enough after the draw with Kanturk and then Newtownsandrum winning Saturday! Calling the Barrs and Kanturk game will be tough. Kanturk probably should’ve started the strongest team and shouldn’t have waited for Aidan walsh to get injured before introducing the likes of Darren Browne and Brian O Sullivan

Midleton - Semi finalists

Sars v Blackrock

Charleville v Barrs

Douglas v Imokilly

Kanturk v The Glen relegation playoff

Really interesting - Credit to Charleville beating Douglas. Erins Own v Fr O'Neills draw made that group super interesting.

The Glen losing to Bishopstown was a bit of a surprise but that will be huge relegation play off for them. We could have a Cork Senior hurling championship without Glen or Na Piarsaigh in the top grade...

Sars Blackrock looks a mouthwatering clash, the Barrs (should) have too much for Charleville. Douglas v Imokilly - very close as well, Imokilly aren't as strong as some previous years but still have a serious squad of players (Castlemartyr getting through in the Prem Int might stretch a few players though)
