Cork u20 Hurling 2023

[UpCork123]

Delighted that Eoin Downey is available but this just sums up the U20 farce.

The final gets moved to accommodate Offaly players because they are 'only' a Joe McDonagh team. Could Clare or Limerick or Galway not feel genuinely aggrieved that it's one rule for one team in the competition and a different rule for other teams in the competition. Not having a cut here at Offaly rather just pointing out what a mess the GAA have made with the U20 grade.

No county has suffered more from this stupid rule then Cork with Ciaran Joyce and Shane Barrett missing out on All Ireland medals over it and Eoin Downey missing out on a Munster medal over it. Absolutely ridiculous.

Alan Connolly missed the All Ireland in 21. With Joyce we'd have beaten Tipp last year.

Jeez I'd completely forgotten about Alan Connolly.

Unfortunately. Big loss this year.

We didn’t look that seriously good when Clare up the physical stakes for the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half and started to run at / thru us. Ben Cunningham showing outstanding leadership and bravery got us outa jail.

Nah, they are a seriously good team. Why that isn't obvious to anyone who sees them is beyond me.
Nothing wrong with acknowledging that, alongside acknowledging that
Offaly have talent and a great attitude, and will fight to the death.

You want to beat them up for Clare upping their game for 20 minutes and having a go at them, fair enough.

You want to see a well fought win as getting out of jail, fair enough too.

Just bear in mind that Cork beat ye fair and square, and all the sly hinting that one of our players could/ should get a retrospective red is just a grand old dose of sour grapes

Grow up child , pipe down when adults are talking

Any news yet on the time, date and venue for the final?

I've seen Thurles on the 4th alongside the minor final.
It would allow Eoin to play.

Thurles v Offaly. The ghost of Seanie O Leary hopefully. A deft bit of skill combined with a tremendous use of the posterior.
