Cork u20 Hurling 2024

[conchuir]

Great to not lose to those mucksavages. I was pleased with how much dirt we left into most tackles & rucks, maybe it's a Ben O'C thing but long may it continue. We'll need it in spades vs Tipp.

Unbelievable turnaround. In fairness Adam O Sullivan and a couple other subs came into the game after I was critical of the changes earlier.

I still feel taking off James O Dwyer in particular took away some much needed strength at half back but the lads showed real character to turn that back around.

Tobin had a big game at CB. A good decision there, as was getting Hugh O Connor involved. Looks a great option.

A savage result up there tonight and plenty to work on.

Great win, they really ground that out

Didn't we beat these by 30 points at u17?
Going backwards...but great to win it.

Lots of development in those 3 years, would be slow to read into any results at u17 these days

Really enjoyed Tobins's performance!

That u17 result means nothing now, it wouldn't even be many of same players involved I'd imagine . If anything it made Clare look at their underage development and since then they've won an all Ireland minor and been competitive in all grades.

Great to beat Clare in Ennis any day, even better to ground out a result like that.

People who doubted Buckley were put in their place tonight. His conversation rate is unreal. Great second half. Tobin was immense, just as a proper centre back should be. Great to grind out a win when it looked lost. Character shown tonight.

40 I think.
I think Clare had only 7 starting tonight from the team that started the minor game

A huge improvement on the Tipp game a few weeks back from both players and management. Cillian Tobin was immense. Certainly a mistake taking off Dwyer unless he took a knock although O'Regan won 1 great ball late on after hitting a bad wide.

Ref was brutal and assisted Clare back into the game before a short panic period from Cork before they regained composure and saw it out. Excellent goal from Barry O'Flynn and good to see a player who struggled against Clare minors last year make such an impact at a higher level. Timmy Wilk and Adam O'Sullivan also made a difference when introduced.

In attack Hugh O'Connor was too casual for my liking and displayed poor accuracy but showed he has hurling and the game should bring him on big time.

William Buckley class and Diarmuid Healy very good.
