Proper order.
V true, you possibly have to have Nash 6 and Kyle 11 next year or vice versa, like U12,.your two best hurlers. Also got to integrate O’Neill, English, O’Brien fully, they are very lucky what’s coming through. O’Neill’s score taking is godly in general and O’Brien is just class on the ball, so calm.
Our players applauding the fans after the game was great. Something not seen enough in GAA, the money supporters pay to travel throughout the year appreciated by players. Great bond between the players and fans in fairness

Limerick stayed out on the field a fair while in 2019 when they lost too.

One hundred percent. Different team when Lynch is 11.
I commented 1000 posts up on the quick puck out.
How was it allowed today when it was clamped down on all year?
Well done to cork. We didnt win this year but we start again. Hopefully wont be too long, the good days are only good when you remember the shit days.

What a fantastic group of players.
Hard not to be gutted after that - a game we could have won. We had the bones of 20 misses again.
Injuries definitely caught up on us - losing Casey and Nash was huge.
Finn needs time to get back to his best but he’s after two ACL injuries and looked it yesterday.
The team needs some surgery to replace Declan going forward.
Overall I think we will be very competitive in next 2/3 years but not sure we will win an All Ireland. We had two good chances to knock that cork team out and they will get stronger with the underage sides they can feed off.
The worry is we might have a dominos effect if a few lads call it a day - lads with more years to give could call time early if they think the good days are over.
DOD was underused massively yesterday - his distribution skills offer this team a lot.

Limerick are a bit like the Dublin footballer’s there’ll be a few changes but they’ll still be there at the business end of the championship for the time being.

The whistle was 100% not blown for that one. It was actually weird enough, because while he had let a few marginal ones go, he had blown back the couple of really obvious ones.
Although by the time he had looked up from writing Kyle’s point down, the ball was already on its way over the bar from Fitzgibbon.
To be fair, I’d always tell goalkeepers to test the limit of the rules on that. The worst that can happen is it gets blown back. If you get away with even a few, the pay-off is huge. Thought the Limerick players were a little quiet on it to Walsh though.

At this point in hurling should we not have fellas in the stand noting the scores. Let the ref focus solely on the restarts?
I mean he’s in contact with people through an ear piece anyway.

Fair point fir IC level, the fourth official keeps notes or something
The fourth official’s main job these days seems to be as some sort of lightening rod for manager ire

The ref still marks it down.
The puck outs are absolutely vital. Too much happening and too often you see refs fumbling when they are happening.
