Depends what you are looking for, Hayes has had two fine games against Limerick but hadnāt exactly lit it up in any other championship matches close to that standard. Rodgers has had a number of excellent matches in the past two years in both the full and half forward line.
Horgan while still an excellent finisher is not the player he was at the end of the last decade.
Hayes was brilliant against Limerick but itās fair to say that was the exception rather than norm all season where he has been good without being great. Need both him and Connolly to perform to that level on Sunday
You have to laugh at the Carkies ā all they want is smoke blown up their hole - shur godāhelpus.
Theyāve been demanding Limericks to come out for a bit of ābanterā for years ā the Limericks make one barb agin Cork and theyāre screaming about bitterness and sour grapes. Youāve one fella preaching to us about how inter county hurling is all about having a laugh and please donāt take it so seriously ā two tiny comments about Cork being a British royal family stronghold (which it is) and he has a mental breakdown, screaming about about bitterness ā lolz. Shur god love him ā it could be a repeat of the Taylor Swift cryfest all over again in his house when it dawns on his eldest that she wont be able to chase jersey in the woodlands this year.
As for the rubby fella ā 6 years of his wife and kids wearing Limerick jerseys looking down on him as an inferior in his own home must be some shock to the system for a Cork man. You can almost feel the repressed rage bursting through the screen ā heās doing some job to hold it back till Sunday. Iād say keep an eye on the news headlines Sunday evening on this one.
On the final, Cork are massive, massive favorites - but Iāll be cheering loudly for Clare. Thereās no love lost between Limerick and Clare ā weād gladly murder each other. But when it comes to Cork, Kilkenny and Tipp ā Iād go to war and die for any Clare man ā even the fella behind the Clare Times. Iām sure most sound minded people will take great joy seeing Pa Pat Patrick Hoggie Horgan in a heap of tears come Sunday evening.
Safe travels to all heading along, I hope you have a great day out.
Oh deary me speaking of fellas holding in an explosion for weeksā¦thatās some splatter across the screen kidā¦welcome back you uucoam
Psā¦only one of my kids deserted their place of birthā¦the remainer will be rewarded with a trip to the final whilst my @thelimericks can wallow at home
Could have really done with another week in the calendar to allow this fixture the space it needs to breathe.
Obviously Iām mostly rooting for Johnny Murphy on the day and hoping he can engineer some sort of con-troversy that means nobody wins (if anyone has it in his locker, he does) but if pushed Iāll be siding with Clare, mainly because I think Cork will win one anyways in the coming years regardless. Wouldnāt say the same for Clare.
Jayses kid. Youāre a betting man. Had you gone into the bookies in January 2018, what odds would you have gotten on limerick winning 6 munsters on the trot, 5 all Ireland and 4 in a row?
