Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Crankycorner]

Eoin sacrificed his own game to mark Patrick Fitzgerald who is a great talent so I would say he done ok considering.

Ben wasn’t at his best but he kept showing and fighting for the ball. His scores in those conditions were vital.

I don’t think Pat Ryan will be too alarmed if that’s what you mean

A full back’s role is to stop the forward from playing. Someone earlier pointed out he is 19, in my opinion he’s not ready to be our full back. He’d be coming up against very experienced players like Flanagan, Callanan etc and I don’t think he’s ready for that.

Showing and fighting for the ball is the bare minimum we should expect of forward.

Both lads will have better days.

Any favours in what exactly?

In their hope to play senior championship in 2023.

Downey did ok, the days of keeping your man scoreless are long gone.

Really? That’s just not true.

Agreed, i think if Wilk was fully fit he tends to get these man marking jobs on the main threats at school/minor level so would've probably picked him up and ED would've seen more of the game.

Outside of his performance (which I thought was reasonable but not great) did anybody else notice ED swinging the hurley a la Cathal Barrett as he was coming out with the ball? Something he'd want to watch cos it could get him in trouble again. Couple of things to iron out but himself and Joyce are going to be the two cornerstones of Cork hurling for the next 10 years.

Ben maybe because he has slipped down the pecking order but if you think last nights performance is going to stop Eoin Downey making the senior team you are delusional

Nothing at all wrong with it, Tommy Timber for one was brilliant at it

Not a problem if you dont get caught.

You got there just before me bb.
The best of the lot was Hartnett's "accidental" flick as he was charging down the line that caught Lynskey. Happy days.....
