Great team, but their manager clearly doesnât trust his squad. He sent two obviously unfit players out to start an All-Ireland final. By the time the tone of the game was set they were chasing shadows.
I wouldnât scoff at them at all. They are making semi finals every year with relatively limited resources. Itâs not long since we couldnât make a semi final and we were lucky to get by them last year in the semi.

Agree
No excuse mistake he made,unfit player should be in the stand
Who? Cork?
They have the greatest resources of any hurling team in Ireland.

Heâs another lovely hurler alright.
Theyâve lovely hurlers coming out their ears. Cadogan, Meade, Kearney
They havenât enough dog in them. Too nice.
In fairness they were key players. Most managers would send out their key men at 80% for a final.

Do in me balls
Too much of a gamble,they died
No more Mr nice guys
Ok maybe resources is the wrong word, talent in their squad then.
thatâs why Cork arenât at the top table and wonât be for at least another 5 years. Itâs only now they are winning under age againâŚ
Sure weâre Cork biy, we donât need an academy at all.
Sure hurlers are planted and grown down here, biiiy
Those days are well gone
you just said it a few posts up about tradition you langer
Thatâs the way it used be true,but a lot of competition ref soccer, rugby, basketball etc etc
Theyâre very thin in defence. Maybe they can unearth some new talent but I feel theyâll come up short of the big one. At the moment Iâd fancy us any time we take the field against them.
Bar the mid-90âs thatâs probably the only time in my life Iâve said that.

Tradition dickhead got Cork past the post umpteen timeâs, especially over Limerick,ye were scared ,beaten for decades before a ball was pucked,same as cork footballers v Kerry etc
Winning an all ireland without underage success is very difficult. This cork team were constantly beaten at underage between minor and 21s. Very difficult to make the break through. Theyâve a lot of talent but tend to collapse on the big day.

Only one team can be at the top table. Cork drew with the eventual champions in normal time in the semi final, theyâre not far off at all.
By the way I confidently predicted a few years ago that limerick would win an AI before cork. MBB helpfully bookmarked it and himself and kev brought it up regularly.

Tradition???
13 years and counting without an All Ireland hurling title of any description, thatâs some tradition youâre trying to paste, a 13 year tradition of shitting the togs once ye pass the Red Cow Hotel.
