Says a men who watches Scottish soccer and Italian soccer.
The backdrop to the camogie and ladyball finals is the screeching noise in the background from bus loads of Under 10 teams packed into the stand.

Italy are the most successful nation in European football, the most popular sport in the world.
This is a bespoke sport, played by a bunch of teenage girls.

The games are mostly fixed and played by juiced up auld men.
That’s the English Premiership, mate.
The rain falling now. Will make this interesting. 2 attacks for Cork and 2 scores. Dublin struggling to get scores.
Cork defending well and playing on the break.
Dublin are afraid to shoot, their striking seems to be dreadful.
You can hear @ChocolateMice shouting “Kick her in the fanny, Kellie.”

Bless the poor lassies. The wet ball and pitch has most of them completely baffled.

They are doing well but just need to start taking scoreso. Cork are defending well.
Shocking game. Some of them are fresh airing the ball when attempting to draw a kick at it. One of the former Cork players was saying her only regret was the fact that she never got a chance to play in front of a full Croke park. You’d want your head examined to go to this shit.

Great score from Noelle Healy. Dubs will win this they have more cutting edge up front. Cork have great backs.
Clare really messed up their clock management in the intermediate final.
Two points down with 54 seconds left when they were awarded a free on the 21 in front of goal, they wasted a load of time dithering before finally putting the ball over the bar. The Kildare goalkeeper then wasted more time dawdling on the kickout and the game was effectively over by the time the ball was kicked out.
This is my annual “I think the countdown clock system in women’s Gaelic football is shit” post.
It’s hard to know what level it’s comparable to…maybe boys U14 or thereabouts?

Someone would want to tell them that bouncing a ball on a wet pitch is asking for trouble.
Cumann na mBunscoil boys’ primary school finals played across the width of the pitch.

The kildare keeper was a big lass.
That the little lads who play during the half time break at county matches? It’s on a similar level to that alright, sure they probably use the same size ball and all.
Maybe U14’s in a GAA wasteland like Cork. Some of these dont even want to be there playing in those conditions. Tucked up with a hot water bottle with some Haagen Daz and watching Bridget Jones would be more in their line.
