All Ireland Gold or now to be known as old matches on d’tele

just finished watching 1990 hurling final

Joe Cooney had a heap of wides for all his brilliance

Jim Cashman was terrible on the long range frees\65s

Noel Lane destroyed Denny Walsh, 4pts which could easily have been 3-1

The 55 year old Brendan O’Sullivan had some whipping with Michael Coleman

John Fitzgibbon was red raw useless for 55 mins, passenger - snipes 2 goals and pops a pass to Mulcahy for a point in the closing stages - what a sniper

Teddy mac - 3pts a decent contribution on a day when he wasn’t even at his best

Cunningham and O’Gorman superb, O’Gorman man of the match

Fitzgibbon set up the first minute goal for Kevin Hennessy too. Hennessy a real unsung hero for Cork in that win.

1625

I missed the 1st few mins

a cork man tells me Fitzgibbon scored 24 goals and 17 pts for Cork and Glen Rovers in 38 championship matches

yeah Hennessy was effective, great duel with Sean Treacy

1626

So unsung he got RTE Man of the Match.

1627

Did he? He rarely gets mentioned in any discussion of that 1990 final now.

1628

did he get it? OGorman should have. He saved Denis Walsh and Jim Cashman bacon a few times covering

1629

Yes. His interview was very Boys of Fairhill stage Cork.

Useless quiz question for useless trivia buffs: in which hotel was the Cork “banquet” (as they used to call it) held?

1630

And provided a bit of light relief in a very tense Cork dressing room at half time.

1631

Hennessy was cult hero material. John “Schillaci” Fitzgibbon and Teddy McCarthy too.

Bit further south than that.

Tipperary and Down both had their dos in the Burlington the following year.

RTE sport has been utterly appalling since the current lock down . A disgrace .

“Jacki, there are dishes to be done out here. What are you doing?”

“I’m compiling a list of hotels which held post-All-Ireland final banquets over the last 30 years.”

“OK, carry on.”
