It was a very exciting game, one of the most exciting finals in a while.Lads, Cork hit 1-29 in normal time in that all Ireland final.
If that’s not turning up and not performing what do we call 2021? This is ridiculous revisionism. A call or two the other way by the referee and Cork win and everyone says they got everything right.
I don’t mind the suggestion that Clare were marginally the better side on the day. They usually beat us by a point or two wherever we play so I’ve no argument with that, but Cork dominated the first quarter and in the second half of normal time when they were under the cosh still managed to manufacture four more scores than Clare. Cork were also the better team for most of extra time.
Both teams are outstanding teams who played very well and it was one of the best 2 or 3 finals most observers have ever seen. Clare 2024 would beat Clare 2013 by a score a man and so would Cork 2024 beat Cork 2013.
I don’t know what you are basing your view on as even the group themselves acknowledges the day didn’t go to plan. It was incredible we were still in it.
Not many Cork players played to their normal standard not to mind lift it again for the final. Most players were in the 6/7 out of 10 range.
