Lol
Nothing at stake - nice to win but ultimately Mickey Mouse. Like the League at senior level.
Games last year were very one sided.
Lesson for seniors is Davy looks like sabotaging Clare’s golden generation by overthinking it. Cork were shocking and shows you JBM is overachieving in finding or making players at senior.
Jack Brown was immense tonight.
Cork are happy to count underage titles when they win them.
Bar room bores. The only relevant AI is the next senior one. Nice to have history and a tradition of success because kids grow up with role models in clubs. Anything won before living memory is irrelevant.
Clare and Tipp the two best teams in the country easily, Clare a bit ahead of Tipp
Waterford seriously need to get their shit together. With the minor teams they’ve produced over the past half-decade there’s no way that Cork team should even be competing with them, never mind beating them.

I think the Tipperary team of 1981 would trump that team fenway
The Tipp u21 team of 2010 was fairly special. The one in 09 was actually just as good but they fucked up in the first found
Before my time Fagan.
Fair enough. They demolished Kilkenny in Walsh Park in 1981, to seal the three in a row.
U21’s have different values at different times. The first Lunerick and first Clare ones were important in recent years. Repeating means little.
Cork could do with one though, just to stop the rot of talk in the county if nothing else. People do make a big deal if underage success so that seeps thru to players weather we like it or not. And some coaches don’t help with the pressure either from what I believe with opening day speeches based around Corks lack of success and the point re-inforced throughout the year.
Ya but they have yet to go on to back bone success at senior in a dominant way like those Cork and Tipp teams the lads picked have.
This Clare side could go that route too very easily.

Whatever hope that Cork group had, it evaporated when they put that gobshite Kenneally over them.
Ya. I have a cousin playing, it’s more than silly. Apparently the new selectors this year improved it a bit, but they only have so much say.
Never a vintage crop though. They will actually take a good bit from the 2 games I’d say. It’s easy to point at Clare and say that’s what senior hurling is like lads.
Huge difference between hurling and football management in Cork at underage over last 10 years

excellent sides, but I think the Clare one from last year would trump either, especially from 8-15, those sides had better defenders
KK also had a side circa 2005 that was awsome
Tyrell, JJ, Tommy, Phelan, Fogarty, Rice, Tennyson, Michael Fennelly, Cha, Power, Larkin, TJ. I’ve no doubt forgotten a few.
They win this argument, for now.
