Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Charley Sheen]

Surprised so many are claiming that Clare always have our measure

Are some people forgetting that we got a red card ?

John Mullane thinks Cork would have Ron by 5/7 pts but for the red.

IMO that's a fair conclusion.

Clare do not have our measure and we are a bit ahead of them.

You are forgetting 3 big players they were missing on SOD, Cleary and Ryan (who left early).

Next time we face off they could have SOD beside Duggan in FF line.

They beat us last year and some are treating last Sunday as another Clare victory! You’d swear by the reaction of a lot and even the normally semi comatose Lohan that they’d poxed another All Ireland.
But for as long as the game of hurling is played Clare will never have the measure of Cork.

Any update on Rob Downey's injury?

He's not injured. That seems to be the consensus anyway. He got a knock, it swelled up and caused him difficulty in the second half, but was fine again by Monday and he is back training.

(All updates subject to the caveat that pretty much all information reported here is at least second hand!)

I don't get this attitude.
They've beaten or drawn with us on every championship occasion since 2021. We have won no encounter with them since then. Played 5 Won 0 Drew 1 Lost 4. That's our recent record against them.

They have our measure currently and it needs to be rectified very soon.

Anyone saying anything other than this is talking absolute nonsense

But, we are Cork… but, they have Celtic crosses!

They beat ye twice last year plus 2023 and 22 round Robin games. Albeit most of them narrow margins that could have gone either way.

Brilliant news, many thanks.

Is Barrett suspended? How does all that work? If he is then Deccie has to come in I suppose.

I hear some people in Tipp are plotting to remove Joe Caesar from the half back line he would want to watch his back.......

Yes for one match, pending Cork's next move
