Cork Footballers

[StJohner]

Relegated, won intermediate and 2 county finals all in 4 years. No doubt ye were the best team for 47 mins but the sideline lost it for us.

What did become of Jason Sexton? Pretty sure he got a few McGrath cup runs with Cork in 2011

There’s Clon men who have a similar gripe with the Leahy who started his son ahead of a far superior Clon player for a Cork u21 team. Never understood the clamour for him to get the senior job, was very lucky to have a really brilliant group of Cork footballers at u21 level the year he won the All Ireland.

Jason preferred the Garrission game which did not go down well with Management. Was good enough imho to play senior with Cork but at that time we had a serious forward line.

McManus on his best day was electric. Should have been involved with the Cork seniors in 09, would have dealt with Kennelly and co.

To quote his famous fellow Mayo man
“ he simply wasn’t good enough”

2009 final clon won by a point not by their brilliance but for the fact that nepotism was involved in the Barrs team where the manager played his own son instead of one of our best forwards J Sexton who nearly won the game for us in the 13 minutes he was on.

Clon took the foot off the gas when the game was already won and nearly got caught. It happens.

The most recent final matchup was a much closer affair. Many Barrs supporters there that day would admit the result could have gone either way without interference from the officiating.

Let’s not forget that Clon were missing their talisman Liam O Donovan.

Take Maguire or Sherlock out of that Barrs team and they wouldn’t have come within ten.

On another note, it looks as if Donegal and either Monaghan or Armagh will be joining us in Division 2 next season.

And possibly two of Cavan/Fermanagh/Down coming up as well. Some travelling there, next year

And 4 of the seven will be away

Wait are Cork moving to Ulster?

 

[Dagame]

And possibly two of Cavan/Fermanagh/Down coming up as well. Some travelling there, next year

Tough going alright big panel staying injury free will be key going forward.

Very true Trav, no chance the Barrs minus Sherlock are coming out of that one alive against a full strength Clon team. Even with Sherlock they wouldn’t have beaten a Clon team with Liam ODonovan.
