Official All Ireland Minor and U20 Hurling & Football Thread (Part 1)

Great Klare point tbf.

Yes, we had a full team out when nobody else used their Minors. Anyway the team this year will be completely different, doubt there will be more then 5-6 of that team starting.

They have been better since the water break but can’t see them turning it around

Why is that? Wind won’t help Cork the way Donal Og sets up his teams.

We have a lot of stylish light hurlers and won’t do enough to counter the physical dominance of the cork half backline to overturn a 6 point deficit especially with a swirling breeze.

You’re better than this

Cunningham is painfully slow. I understand why is in the corner but needs the ball on top of him.

He is, very obvious watching it. Lovely stickman yet he has been miles off his man when the ball hits space

Clare well in this, Cork went from winning everything in the air to winning nothing.

Somehow it is only a 2 point game. Clare have settled and Cork forwards aren’t turning over the Clare backs as easily.

Hogans fuck up for the goal aside is dominating at full back

Center back and two half-forwards have been best for Cork. The rest of the Cork forwards are very heavy-footed and struggling to keep pressure on their men as the half went on. Your man Buckley off the bench is highly rated, looking forward to seeing him play.

Decent game, the commentator is an excitable chap. He could do with a co-commentator beside him, a difficult gig to cover a match on your own. He has great enthusiasm anyway. The streaming quality is very good.

Early on it looked like Cork would run away with it but Clare have responded well. The sub has made a difference since he came in.

Even aided by the breeze Jarlath Collins has a fair puck of the ball.

Think it is Eoin Brennan doing the commentary. Formerly of the Clare People

Cunningham put over a sideline - “that’s worth the €5 streaming fee!” :clap:

Fair play, a very good service they are providing. Covering a game on your own, with no long awkward pauses, must be draining.

Main positive for Cork is that Clare look like they have absolutely no interest in getting a goal. Cork got one from play and Cunningham should have buried another.

Shanahan in goal for Clare looks very jittery. Surprised by that as he was the minor keeper last year

Any subs?

Good save.

Great save by the Cork keeper

Who is Shane Kingston’s Father?
