Well done Cork brilliant display, ke40 (Kildare) - Posts: 209 - 20/05/2019 09:22:08 2185750 Link 0 |
What a turn around from last week. Just goes to show, that when we fight for every ball we're a serious hurling team. What pleased me the most yesterday was the intensity, they never stopped and completely hounded Limerick out of it. The panel is also looking much better. However, as you say, It's only one game and needs to replicated the next day. As for Hoggy, I've been watching him since he was 12/13. The man is a magician.

That's the problem Slayer , Limerick were deserving champions last year but the Munster championship is so competitive that almost every game is a total dogfight...if you aren't on he top of your game you are in trouble and being all Ireland champions means everyone wants to take your scalp.....a whole new learning curve for thus young talented Limerick team, I have no doubt they will bounce back and gave a big say before the summer is over....

Hanging my head in shame this morning for writing off Cork so easy. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 20/05/2019 11:15:53 2185827 Link 0 |
To be honest, I wasn't very confident at half time. We were very badly caught, position-wise for the Limerick goal (a rocket, which would have taken Nash's head off if he had got in the way), and I felt were just about containing Limerick. In the second half, the team buckled down to their job and gradually stifled the life out of Limerick. The feeling at the end was unbelievable.

Only got to see the last 25 mins but thought Limerick lacked a bit of savvy. Cork were in the groove and when they get on top maybe a Limerick player should have picked up a knock so that the team could reset. They will learn from this though. I think you will see some reaction from them next time out Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 20/05/2019 12:18:38 2185869 Link 0 |
Very good post,was thinking the same at half-time, but the work rate from cork was top class,they fought for everything, we were lucky ye didn't beat us more,two weeks to get it right.

Yes, but the town goal in Limerick is always the scoring goal and a nice breeze was blowing down there as well. Our management team I thought were far too slow to make chances and at least one of our wing backs should have been substituted about ten minutes into the second half and Paddy O'Loughlin. Taking off Mulcahy who had scored a goal and four points looked a very odd decision.

A bit rich considering his own team could struggle past Carlow at home the last day.

Thanks Ballydalane. Insightful and generous comment- But of course in my experience Kilkenny hurling fans are always magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat.
