Cork v Waterford 2017 hurling

Waterford will win this handily. Cork have fucked this first half away. No way will Waterford be as bad in the second half.

The only thing is Waherfud are driving as many wides.

It’ll come down to fitness. Cork looking a good bit better but not getting enough out of the FF line at all.

Always annoys me when lads get advantage instead of the free when they’re under pressure and a score isn’t possible

Meade and Cadogan aren’t really in it for Cork. Kingston has had a good bit of possession but hasn’t made use of it.

Cork looked sharper for most of that half but should be in front.

Waterford have a chance to push on now with their superior physicality and I think they will.

Cadogan and Kingston have been septic. Harnedy should have buried his chance into the roof of the net, hit it a perfect height for the goalie. McDonnell having a mare. Meade not involved.

Ellis, Cahalane, Fitzgibbon and Lehane playing well.

Not like you to be pessimistic mate

You’d feel Cork needed a good lead at half-time. Should be a couple of goals up.

I’m only backing Waterford by 5 mate, very optimistic really.

Are you insane?
He is central to everything they do. His ability to get the ball away to team mates in really tough positions. Best in the game at it.

He has been hugely effective 1st half, top 3 Waterford player

Cork have worked their socks off and still only level. Waterford that bit more efficient. Fitness and timing of subs crucial now given the conditions. Waterford seem to have that bit more in the tank.

I think Waterford have been piss poor and Cork could be out of sight. They should have buried two goals at least. The 9/2 on Tipperary in Boyles looks better by the minute.

Stephen O’Keeffe is the best shot stopper in the country. Has been for some time. Don’t know why people have doubts about him on that count.

You would expect Waterford to win the game from the middle of the field, but Cork might surprise us. Gleeson really needs to get his shit together. McGrath can’t leave him languishing on the periphery of the game either.

2 great saves

Completely superior standard to the shit served up a fortnight ago

Cork look good is it me or Waterford a bit off

Nah mate, the Clare match was much better than this. According to the Clare lads.

Let’s try block fat out

:smile:

Waterford for me have the advantage. Their work rate has not been as good as Corks and still for all that they are level. Given the conditions that should work to their advantage. The bench will win this for either team

No Clare keeper is getting to them. Maybe Tuohy, but he’d drop 2 or 3 more over the line.
