Cork U20 Footballers 2025

[Pooman]

Some very good individual footballers in this team but zero intensity or cut in them overall. Passive football which allows weak teams look good and actually good teams will tear them apart. Cork should have been out the gap when they went 3 up and if Tipp hadn't absolutely butchered that scoring chance to go 2 up it was all over.

Passive football has been Cork's problem for a long time.

Was not pretty but give the lads some credit they still won the game
Sheedy while he looks injured won the game ...
There is a number of very good players on that team
And looking on the bright side thats our 15th in a row Munster final apperance !

100%, you can see lads with the ability, but a woeful set up.

How does the manager progression work? Will they want O'Mahony and his backroom team to succeed Cleary?

That was worse than the last game against Kerry.

We didn’t beat them, we drew to tipperary at u20 level, We’re in the pits man.

I don’t believe for one minute we don’t have 20 quality footballers that wouldn’t be able to go out and beat tipperary comfortably, This is all down to the management, this better be the last time we see them over a cork team

A draw match...and we can thank the ref for that.

Ref was brutal alright. O Shea basically gave the ball to them and he still gave free. While he also gave him a yellow card for a free just before which was barely a free.

Why not even name Sheedy on the 24 then bring him on at half time. He was wearing no 24 so the management are basically putting dummy teams up online.

He made a difference when he came on. Thought Clifford (Eire Og) midfield was excellent. O Leary wing back also a fine footballer. Sheedy made a difference in forwards. O Neill will be a loss. Aaron O Sullivan in and out of game but couple of excellent scores.

 

[CORK1990]

Drawn match it was ! but it got us to the final ! two Cliffords are excellant players Niall O Shea did well in patches O Leary and Aaron O Sullivan, played well
but would not have won this without Dara Sheedy .

Sheedy, Myers and young O Neill look like really good natural scoring forwards.

Every other county imo would have a clear pathway to seniors (proper S&C etc) but I fear like a few before them they could fall through the cracks or just plateau under current senior management if they are brought in. They already look behind in S&C tbh.

Pity they didn't have a better U20 set up to help them develop.

Anyway best of luck to the young lads against Kerry. Get a couple back from injury and throw off the shackles lads. At least let them play ball and show their true abilities.
