Looking forward to it.

[Pepe]

is it on tg4 at all?

[bodly]

It is

[whathefeck]

Looking forward to this one. Cant help feeling they will miss Sweetnam.

I hope they get through this as he will be back for the semis and it would be nice to get a prolonged run in the competition this year.

[rebelman]

Yeah big game..least they win have limerick at home.

U win munster..there more or less in the all ireland final.
To even get to the final ve a benfit to cork.


It be close,the bookies have cork slight favourites.

Tippeary be a big threat...and they will travel to cork with more than hope.

Looks like it be damp eveing..slow the game up .

It could be a battle of the wills more than anything if the heavy rain keeps up.

[Roundyfield]

There is a lot of talent off the field for Cork in Lordan, Finn, Wall, Hallissey, and Sweetnam, but Turrene said Tipp are missing a few too. We have more seniors in our panel and I'd expect Coughlin and Lehane to have big days, they'll need to. I hope Drake will shine and puts himself in the window for JBM. Joyce, O'Mahony, and Cahalane should be able to impose themselves on this match. This team is our only chance of an all-Ireland this year in hurling. C'mon Cork.

[rebelman]

Id agree roundy drake needs.a.big game.testing conditions tonight more like winter hurling.be an ideal test
.

Id expect chalane to relish these conditions..expect him to have a stormer.

Suprised wall didnt even make the bench.

He physciality be ideal tonight.

Hopefully home advantage will.swing it for cork.

Id imagine tipp wont travel in huge numbers with the match on Tg4.

[rebelman]

Best of luck to the U21 tonight.

[Youghal Exile]

Hopefully we'll get the win tonight and drive on and win our first munster title since 07.Even to get to an all ireland final (i think the year we last won the u21 all ireland 1998 was also our last all ireland final appearance) would be of great benefit to these players.Some success at this grade will speed up JBM'S rebuilding project with the seniors.We have been competitive at this grade over the last couple of years but we badly need to start winning some silverware.It's time to reverse that trend starting this evening
