Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[North Cork]

What gives us the right to say they don’t have our measure ? look at our championship results against them in the last number of years?

None of the above really matters at the moment anyway, Tipperary is our next game not Clare that’s what we should be looking forward to

We have played Clare twice in 2025 both times in Clare, we got a win and a draw there.

I am not sure why anyone would say that Clare have the measure of this Cork team which if I remember really came together after the defeat to Waterford last year.
We lost to Clare by a point in the second round after SOD was sent off( deservedly).

Clare have at least eight players on the team who are thirty or over, I think they are on average about three year older than this Cork who started with two players over thirty and had 6 players starting who are 24 or younger, 7 if COB had been fit.

These teams are at completely different stages in their lifecycles.

Things are going to get very interesting on sunday if the scoring is tight going down the stretch.

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

Clare absolutely poxed a draw last Sunday. We absolutely walloped em in the league…
That’s some measure

Clare will be beaten in Walsh Pairc this Sunday.

I'd be worried about McCarthy on Sunday. He's a very talented lad, but his first year in, you might expect the nerves to get to him. They won't. This is his second time in a sold out Park, so it's kind of like his second season in some ways. Generational talents like him often light up the stage in year two. I think he'll have that year 2 mentality, if not quite the physique. He'll take minding.

I presume what you mean was he elbowed reidy into his helmet ?

i’m not denying that it was a red card, Any contact with the helmet is a straight red card. (Not as if that rule is ever enforced but anyway) But youre here justifying Why Reidy went down like a sack of spuds when he had no reason in the world for doing so only to draw the red card.

Scumbaggish behaviour is what i say

Soft, effeminate behavior is what it is.

Clare will be beaten in Walsh Pairc this Sunday.

I’m sticking with Cork, Limerick and Waterford advancing.

I personally think it’s great that the games are spread around, nice boost to the local economy in places also. I’d say the lads in Ennis were delighted with the cork crowd.

They were delighted with the business, worth between 1 and 2 m apparently.

Great atmosphere, red everywhere, every pub swamped. More pub swamping next Sunday hopefully!

If COB and Downey are healthy what do you do in the half back line? I’d ease COB in by leaving him on the bench and springing him in the 2nd half if the opportunity is presented. If he picks up where he left off the debate about who should start can be had again.

Thoughts?
