Especially Barrs of they win , 29 years in all that. They be pulling fellas out of the pub for munster championship.
I think Barr’s will win the final and I hope they do. They have the pace to do damage in Munster - ballygunner can be got at with a strong running game.
While the games were one sided yesterday have to say i enjoyed them - some superb scores. Few random thoughts:
- You won’t see 3 better goals of a Sunday anywhere in the country - Hayes was the best one I reckon, really slick team move; Cotter’s next - the turn of the wrists to flick the ball inside was Hoggy-esque, and Cunningham’s at the start of the second half was a deadly finish, great killer instinct
- Refereeing was on the soft side, moreso the first game - way too many whistles that could have been waved on. A yellow would have been plenty for twomey in the second game
- Of all the Barr’s young stars, 2 stand out a mile - Ethan Twomey and Ben Cunningham - the former seems to be getting better every time I see him, could play anywhere I’d say but stick him straight in to number 8 for cork. Cunningham unreal killer instinct… made a couple of brilliant runs in the first half (where he didn’t receive the pass) but was always alert to the goal opportunity. Corks next free taker surely
- don’t think the Barr’s went to sleep as others have said - Newtown had to come up with something and Barr’s took a while to figure out what to do with their spare man. Eoin Keane lumped plenty aimless high balls in that period, and Ethan twomey got an awful awkward bang that put him out of the game for a while
- John Cashman very impressive at 3 for the rockies; they probably have the more natural defenders - Meaney and Cathal Cormack very solid also
- lastly, charleville’s stock rises further - they had a mighty championship in fairness to them
