A team in âserious declineâ would not be Munster Champions.
I remember exactly where I was sitting but can remember pretty much nothing of any of the games.
OâDonoghue likely out for Saturday with Kingston/Downey doubtful as well.
Bitta good news for Cork at last

Who would you replace him with?
Cathalane or Milerick maybe. Not natural full backs but Downey is a disaster.
Or else play the three corner backs
Cahalane will be half-back and Millerick will be eaten alive by Whelan.
I heard Des Cahill say on Saturday that Croke Park was only open to please the Croke Park premium crowd. Fuck me like, thatâs the way the gahâs gone.
Huge losses if true, OâDonoghue has been fantastic, Kingston has game changing ability, Downey wonât be easily replaced despite the snideness

From The Indo.
Galway forward Cianan Fahy and Clare duo Rory Hayes and Peter Duggan have opted not to accept proposed suspensions and will have hearings this week, expected to take place tomorrow night.
Fahy is challenging a proposed two-match ban for an alleged stamping offence in the Leinster hurling final, Hayes and Duggan are seeking to avoid a one-match ban that would put them out of their All-Ireland quarter-final against Wexford on Saturday for incidents they were involved in during that epic Munster hurling final.
The incidents involving all three were missed by the respective referees, prompting the GAAâs Central Competitions Controls Committee (CCCC) to investigate.
There is anger in Clare particularly that âThe Sunday Gameâ highlighted the incidents on its highlights show.
Meanwhile, all four All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals have been fixed for Croke Park on the weekend after next, despite concern over accommodation and rising fuel costs that impact on travel and attendance.
There were just 16,425 in attendance for last Saturdayâs qualifier double bill in Croke Park, even though Mayo and Kildare were involved.
It is understood that tentative discussions were had to explore if Dublin and Cork would enter a âhome and awayâ agreement, with PĂĄirc Ui Chaoimh hosting their All-Ireland quarter-final.
However, agreement could not be reached as Parnell Park is considered Dublinâs home venue and consequently would be deemed unsuitable for a championship match involving Dublin.
The match will go ahead at 6.0pm on Saturday, June 25, preceded by Derry and Clare at 3.45pm. Kerry and Mayo have been fixed for Sunday, June 26 at 4pm, with Galway and Armagh on the same day at 1.45pm.
Dugganâs hearing will just be him shaking his head and waving his arms in the air pleading his innocence.

Hope the Clare lads get off but Iâd love to be a fly on the wall to hear Rory Hayes explain away his âcattle flaking with a length of wavinâ stroke on Flanagan⌠
I canât see him getting off. Duggan might.
In a sport with a proper disciplinary system thereâs no way any of them could get off

He was only swatting a fly on Flanagans back. Sure Sham Flan didnât even feel it
One version has it that Hayes hit down on the GPS unit
