Cork U-20 Hurlers 2025

[Killyoursons]

That's a fine result and a better performance.

In a way it's better we had a wobble in the 2nd half. Lads will get additional belief from coming through that.

I thought the first wave of subs unsettled us a small bit but we regrouped big time near the end.

Lads like Adam Sull, Walsh x 2 and Wilk really stood up. Fellas with that previous years experience. That's a good sign for those lads.

Ross Sull and JWB will have better days at the office too which is positive.

I'd agree with almost all of that, especially the benefit from ceding the momentum to Limerick in the second half and coming back to snatch it at the death.

One thing I'd disagree with: tonight was first and foremost about the result. Things would look awfully different had Cork lost or even drawn: they would have been relying on favours in the other match to have any chance. As things stand, if they beat a Waterford team who are all but mathematically eliminated, they are in the Munster semi-final, against the winners of Clare-Limerick.

The performance was clearly better, though still lots to work on. But the momentum from a win changes everything.

Fair play, great win, showed again they have some grit.

If they can rack up a big enough win v Waterford next week and could be through to face Tipp for a re-match in a Munster Final.

That point Limerick scored looked messy out by the line. It put them a point up.
Umpire didn’t look too happy he had to give the point. He seemed sure it was wide

That's not quite right. If Cork win, the margin of victory is irrelevant - either way they'll be in a Munster semi-final, playing the winners of Clare-Limerick (or Limerick, if that match is a draw). Tipp are straight through to the final.

Are Cork out if Waterford win by 5 or more?

Ah right, forgot about the 1 semi final

2 cork lose Limerick win waterford limerick clare on 3 it comes down to scores and clare have a 2 point head start
