Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[JimmyBarrySmurph]

This is where Frank Murphy would come into his own and ensure Cork got a bountiful supply of tickets. There will be a lot of disappointed fair weather supporters for this final as we don’t have anyone of his calibre there any more.

There is a lot of extra tickets being redistributed to Cork on Monday I’d say.
Clare are raffling off tickets in desperate attempts to try to get rid of their allocation and they have to hand back whatever is left over to the Bishop after mass on Sunday.
You get a free All Ireland ticket if you pay into either Bunratty castle or Cliffs of Moher tomorrow

My dad used to talk about the awful disappointments between ‘54 and ‘66. Losing year after year and then the joy of finally winning one in ‘66. At least theres more games nowadays!! I was at almost every match with him then until he passed away. season ticket holder now for years with my brother & nephew, so we still go regularly Been at all the finals since ‘76 except for ‘99. So I’ll be bringing my dad with me in spirit on Sunday week.

Brilliant! My dad still here but at wrong side of 90 so won't be travelling.
I've been to every final (h&f) since 1982 except 1984 hurling (sick) and 1988 football (j1).
The famine of 54 to 66 was grim (not helped by Tipp being in their pomp) but this one surpasses it by 7 years.

First one for me was 77, barely big enough to see over the fella in front of me. Then 78, two losing ones 82 & 83. Then 84, 86, 90, 92, 99, 03, 04, 05, missed 06, made 13 both games, missed 21. So what’s that 8 wins 7 losses.

Went to a few KK 4 in a row as well, Limericks breakthrough one in 2018 and 20 and 22. All with my dad bar one or two. Was blessed to get there so many times with him. He’s gone now since earlier this year. Won’t be at this one (not from the want of trying) but was at a good few games in the year and made the semi final which was on a par with a final for me. Had a lump in me throat at the end. A lifetime of memories.

Have not missed a Cork all ireland since 1976 Saw Kerry win a 4 in a row but missed 1982, so its my fault they lost out on the 5 in a row,was at the 1997 Tipp v clare where the woman from Clare sitting next to me got out the rosary beads with 10 minutes to go and started praying.
Be Aware they will try anything to win on Sunday week.

I’m convinced that these are sold out even before going on ‘sale’ to the general public..
