Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Big win yesterday....looked good. Whisper it for now but it could be Our Year

Roisin Phelan gone from the ladies football now too

Bit weird for them to be retiring now and not during the off season. All well in the camp?

One game at a time. Don't jinx it.

I think they said on the RTE pod that Coleman lost a lot of teeth and everything. Nasty injury. Is it broken?

Half time now in the hurling

Wexford 0-5 Cork 2-13

If Kilkenny lose, which they are at half time against Waterford who are up by 2, and Cork win, we will actually get a semi final place so you never know.

Two hattricks in a row for Connolly.

Another tough day for the ladies football, held scoreless for 25 min of the 2nd half, 2-11 to 0-6

Great character shown by the footballers to come back and win that one. That's our place in division two secured for next year. I think we need one more win to avoid the Tailteann cup now. I thought the hurlers would've got a tougher game from Wexford, but we won it handily enough in the end. It's a shame that we couldn't sneak into a league semi final, but the main thing is to have a strong championship campaign now.

Yes its one of those games where you are happy to play in a semi final or maybe final but then you are happy you are not too. I just think it would be hard to beat Limerick twice so soon so best left until championship where it really counts. I would be dreading an injury or two as well in those games.

Ryan has correctly seen we needed more options and feels like we are better this year. Feels like we are more balanced. Hopefully Coleman can recover for later Championship games as he is vital. I still think Cunningham if fit could play a very important part too. No one has said anything about Robert Downeys Oscar win either but he just gets on playing well for Cork! 😂

Sully comes across as a bit self entitled in this interview, having a moan about being beaten by Ben O'Connor to the u20 managers job.
