Cork Hurlers - Part 2

Honestly if you told me Limerick 2/7 and Cork 7/2 I wouldn't question it. Very little today inspired confidence I feel.

Collins and the full back line were all very very solid which is something I'm very happy with.

Half back line struggled somewhat, especially Meade in the first half.

Midfield was solid. Fitz definitely had his few booming runs for scores, and Joyce seemed alot more comfortable than the Offaly game

Half forward line was very good. Barrett and Dalton our two best forwards of the day.

Full forward line aside from Hoggy was unusual. Connolly was absolutely locked down and didn't get much action. I'd nearly start ROF in place of Hayes. Not to say Hayes was bad, but I think ROF is up to speed now

Midfield was solid: Dublin Midfielder man of the match but its irrelevant , this was a zero intensity challenge Game.
 
Meade was midfield. Joyce replaced Downey at center back. Otherwise yes, I agree with your assessment. ROF will be a candidate for selection, as will Ethan Twomey. Rob Downey will most likely resume at Center back, and Joyce will take one of the half back slots.I feel that Cork will rise to occasion and give Limerick a rattle
 
Don’t think that was as bad as a display as man people made out. We weren’t great yes but very comfortable bar the last few minutes. We lost all shape with all the subs coming on. Positives were 1-4. Excellent. Collins’s puckouts were outstanding and deserves huge credit for his displays of recent.

Negatives: Connolly had a poor day out as did Hayes but I wouldn’t rule those lads out just yet. They’ll relish playing Limerick. No two ways about it not a great performance but an improvement on last week. Rebels Abú!

The subs really did interrupt things, apart from ROF. worrying
 
We need to rediscover the form we had in mid to late May. The last two matches we were expected to win and did not play well in either.

All on the day against Limerick now and isn’t it great to be there especially after our first two matches. Bookies and pundits won’t give us much of a chance and all the pressure will be on Limerick.
 
The Connolly display is a bit worrying alright, might get away with it today but will really need him in the bigger tests
No it isn't, if you've got half a clue.

That was a poor game, made hard work of it towards the end but result was never going to be anything other than a Cork win, delighted it's out of the way!

Roll on Sunday fortnight, fingers crossed no more illnesses or injuries!
