there are no "outside chances" in Munster hurling round robin series

The home group stage game in the football against the Ulster champions will be in Pairc Ui Rinn. The pitch in PUC won't be available due to the Springsteen concert.

This was on at the very end of The Sunday Game last night; Donal Og Cusack highlighted the shocking lack of effort by Cork in the lead-up to Shane O Donnell's goal last Sunday;

Lads this is why Cork are not able to win big games, no excuses for this. I am posting it because the very same thing happened in 2022 when Clare beat us in Thurles. Clare scored a point and the ball was carried from the puck-out to the scorer without a single Cork player laying a finger on any Clare player. I can't remember who the scorer was but I distinctly remember that clip being shown on the Sunday Game that night to highlight the lack of work-rate by Cork.

And here we are two years later and the exact same thing is happening. The more things change in Cork hurling the more they say the same it seems.

The last 4 games between them have had an average margin of victory of 9 points for Limerick. It's been fairly one sided in most recent times with the exception of last year.

Well no one expects Cork to win, and a lot of people in Cork itself are not expecting a Cork win either. Hopefully we can keep it close, and we are long overdue to come out the right side of a close one.

Two of them played against Clare; Brian Hayes and Ethan Twomey.

A long shot but anyone hardly selling 2 Stand tickets for the game on Saturday night or point in the direction of where I might pick some up? I see terrace tickets still on Ticketmaster but was looking to bring my auld lad so seats are preferred. I'm a blow in so cant go through my local club etc.

Minor hurling tonight on YouTube

Goals were the difference in that minor game. We missed our chances whereas they took theirs!

Its worrying to me that we have a minor keeper copying Patrick Collins in just giving away points with poor puckouts. I was hoping Collins would be dropped for the seniors as he is a really weak link.

It starts with beaten in the seniors by clare beaten in the u20s by Tipp beaten in the minors by Clare and next weekend beaten by Limerick in the seniors. What a sh#t era for Cork hurling. We don't have the people who have the knowledge to make the changes here either.

A terrible decision if you ask me. Going backwards after that appointment.

It looks like Patrick Collins in goal, is going to be the hill that Pat Ryan dies on as Cork manager. The old saying about it harder to get off a Cork team than on it very much applies in this scenario!

I think it's fair to say that Pat Ryan is just not willing to make the hard calls as a manager. There's no guarantees that 2025 will be any different either.

I don't mean to single out Patrick Collins here, he's just an example of how certain players are just guaranteed a place on the starting fifteen irrespective of performances or lack of performances.

I have one spare stand ticket for tommorrow - Section 406 - North Stand. Any takers let me know. €30. I can transfer via Ticketmaster.

Edit; Sold
