I go to dozens of club matches per year at all level. Senior hurling in Cork is mediocre. Our performances at Munster level proves this.

Then you have Kilmallock who fucked away a Munster last year, NaP, who won it the year before, and even little Effin made it to an Intermediate All Ireland that year too. We ain’t perfect, but don’t give me this tripe about Cork club hurling being streets ahead.

Kilmalock and Na Pairsaigh are very good teams but you would have to say that there is loads of manure in the Limerick Senior Championship, probably 6 teams who are actual Senior standard.

I wouldn’t say club hurling in any other Munster county is hugely better than Cork club hurling.

And what’s the yardstick for measuring this, Jim?

Effin easily beaten by Blarney and Ballyhea 2 average intermediate teams in Cork in challenge games.

I watch both senior championships. They are loads of manure in Cork as well. The likes of Carrigtwohill/Bishopstown would get hammered by the likes of Kilmallock/NaP/Adare.

Kilmallock beat Ballybrown by 3 points yet would hammer Carrigtwohill and Bishopstown, your living on dreamland.

Brian Murphy will captain Cork on Sunday according to JBM. Means Cronin won’t start, big blow for them

Conflicting reports in papers in the past few days with regards to Cronin’s fitness. Is JBM ballhoping here?

Clare folk I know are going on about the Munster final in Thurles already and how they can’t wait to play Limerick in the dream game…this will all end in tears this Sunday when an underestimated Cork team catch them.

Cork are Cork.

Any reason the football and hurling weren’t put together as a double header? Given football support in both counties is fairly shite it may have attracted a few more people through the gate?

Clare probably wanted their home advantage in the Football. In reality the Co Board would have made a good deal more cash from a double header though.

Would they though? Think there was just under 4k at Cusack Park on Sunday. Presume it will be around the 20k mark this Sunday as well, doubt there would be a significant increase in that if it was a double header. If anything you would probably deter some people going as tickets would be €5 or €10 more.

The vast mjority of this Clare panel have not lost a meaningful game to Cork at any level and I don’t expect that to change come Sunday evening

Surely there would have been a better crowd from Clare with Limerick so close, hard to know with the Cork support as Thurles seems to be the ground they really travel in numbers to. I know last year when the Tipp footballers played before the hurlers in Thurles against Kerry, it was a better incentive for me to come in early & watch both games fully than going into watch an Intermediate Hurling match.
