I felt noticeably tired for sure with 20 mins left, movement had ground to a halt and also couldnt deal with Limerick running at them. Of course Quilligan could have done better also.
You’d think Cork will cut the umbilical cord with the 2013 crew. If they do they have a right chance but they dont have an alternate free taker unless Dalton is fit so may have to retain 1 of Horgan or Lehane. I’m convinced the dropping of Horgan and the free taking disaster that unfolded vs Galway in Semple stadium a few years ago is a cautionary tale in terms of making him undroppable now.
I dont disagree but team the Cork team selection will be interesting. I’d be leaving Lehane and Hoggie for the last 20 mins when the game might open up for them
There’s a huge difference between the two defeats. They gave away goals early last year and were always struggling to get back into it. It was an easier defeat to digest. Yesterday was different. They had limerick on the ropes and imploded. A lot harder to recover from
Barrett and Connolly were very good yesterday to be fair. Cork will be delighted to see two of the younger forwards stand out for a change. Is Shane Kingston injured?
