All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

They are like a big fat one who lost a bit of weight and tells everybody about their fitness and nutrition journey. Eventually normal service is resumed and they go mad at the world that inflicts a body norm on women #creambuns

The macnas heads know what’s coming. They’ll yap away like an auld fool of a dog abandoned on mart day but their hearts won’t be in it.

How is the missus?

For a team of their size, the instinct is more to, as you say, get the head up and pick a pass, rather than put the head down, break a tackle and see where it goes from there.Their ability to play these passes, and make them stick, is phenomenal. A lot of them are high risk. And because there is an intent to move the ball forward despite the risk, rather than passing to a free man for the sake of it, it remains exciting to watch.

Them Limerick lads will be unbearable this week

Id say once ot hits double digits

Be interesting to see will they go with the tried and trusted or can we expect a curve ball thrown in

It will be lovely to have a day out in Dublin and only beat by 15 points. That would suit us down to the ground.

Bate by the price of a fry

The Macnas are lacking any cut and thrust in their postings at the moment, it’s all a bit “tick the box”. No real belief can be sensed.

Disappointing really.

We’ve to get a 6 point defeat to Armagh out of the way first pal. Hold your horseys till Monday.

The Tipp lads have their whole summer free. No hassle of Dublin, trains, tickets, trying to arrange the whole thing, nothing. A lot to be said for it

Is a lot of it football (which was his primary playing sport) on a hurling pitch, IE finding support runners waiting for a man to break free then timing a pass. It’s the patience before passing that’s very impressive, the coolness but also not just passing for the sake of it. And the directness separates them from the corks of this world

Youd be worried if cork had a team heavy from one club considering there is over 200 gaa cluns in the county

We’ll look it, they won 30 in the past and there would usually be a few clubs dominant in the starting 15, so I’m not sure about that.
Football clubs aren’t much use in providing senior inter county hurlers :man_shrugging:

Considering the population and depth of clubs cork are under performing. Imagine if they could tap it all in fairness

24 of those before 1980. 6 in 42 years is very poor for a county the size of Cork. 0 in 17 is woeful. The stats show Cork hurling has been in decline for nearly 50 years.
