Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Crusty Ring]

A nervous quietness has gathered over this thread tonight, and with good reason, tomorrow we go to battle with one of the greatest teams ever

are we ready? are they in decline? are we too good for them? was last year just a blip for them?

A lot will be answered tomorrow but there is so much hurling ahead of us in 2025 too.

I just can’t seperate these two in my head. A draw remains the most logical outcome to me but logic goes out the window in the Munster championship

These are the days we live for. Roll on tomorrow! Rebels Abu

My head is telling me a draw and so is my wallet that’s why I backed it at 8/1

"Cork can definitely get at Byrnes, 100% get at him"

Name checking and calling that out is very disrespectful in a national paper, Silly from Pat Mulcahy

I would say Wayne Sherlock is looking at Mulcahy saying you cost me a medal before don't cost me one again.

Actually he is probably not....(he's too solid for that its just my observation.....

It was the management who left pat on too long in 2006 , Not pats fault they left it too late

P Ryan comes across so well in the media. A class act. Cannot say the same for Mulcahy Landers & Sully. JBM also comes across as a class act.

I tink Sh

I was actually bemoaning the lost start in the 2005 win, and had forgotten about 2006,

100%. Wayne has always made it clear his issue is with management in 2006 as he feels he was playing his best ever hurling that year

Really looking forward to the game now.

Its incredible the enjoyment, these amateur hurling players provide.

I'm biased and you can feel it in the Aidan Walsh interview, Cork hurling - nothing else feels like this. Its the same for lim supporters and their team.

Lim are going for 7 munsters in a row and deserve huge respect, they have it.

I'm hoping we can use our pace to score goals,draw fouls and cards. B Hayes has been our best player this year. He wins so much ball and creates so much including goal opportunities for Fitz, TOM and Barrett powering through the middle.

Kinnerk will have noted. Its understandable they will try and stop him by any means.

Connolly & Hoggie, especially Hoggie are in form and need to step up IMO, it can't always be Hayes.

While Lim have to stop B Hayes, Fitz etc, we have to stop Gillane & Lynch with quality tackling and touch.

Coleman needs to be tight on Morrissey. E Downey & SOD needs good games.

We need to break even in the air, enter R Downey, Joyce, TOM, Dalton, Fitz , Hayes. Fascinating.

Lim build so much from their wing back line. They have no problem with Byrnes taking shots from 90 yards plus, safe in the knowledge they can win the puck out.

If lim do get on top in our puck down the stretch, lets see if we have a plan b.
