Cork Have won 30 all Irelands I would say half of those victorys have come from the line, We were shocking today in the second half 8 scores in a row before a reaction from the bench. Our forwards are immense and it truly is a sin that horgan has not got a celtic cross the man is one of the best iv seen in a cork shirt. As for john meyler I think the game is up we now need to look at a new man. Full credit to kk today they never let up they kept going kept it lit. As for the winners my prediticion is limerick they have been coming for a while the won last last year the politics seems to be sorted what beats them will win it imo all the best to the remaining teams blackrockeddie (Cork) - Posts: 160 - 14/07/2019 18:10:35 2210848 Link 0 |

This particular KK team are not the most successful team of all time. Their last All Ireland win was 2015 and they lost Leinster again this year. Limerick are the All Ireland champions, the League champions and the Munster champions! They are favourites to win it again and rightly so. Limerick have a huge panel, great hurling ability, physical strength and the confidence that comes from winning three major titles. Obviously beating KK won't be easy but it will be a great preparation for the final!

Settle petal, you seem to have taken that a little personally. Go and enjoy your win.

I doubt you could predict the result of last year's All Ireland hurling final!

Cork are missing the steel their half back line in particular had in the early noughties. And not forgetting the Rock. And its hard to see it coming back any time soon. Great attacking players though as always. I feel sorry for Pa Horgan what a brilliant player but then a lot of great players never got their hands on Liam. I think the 2 semifinals will be tough hard games. And while we will be the underdogs against Tipp I see it being a 50/50 game. Kilkenny v Limerick will be another hard game. Too close to call.

"This particular KK team are not the most successful team of all time. " He meant county not team. Any fool could see that. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2454 - 14/07/2019 19:45:32 2210926 Link 0 |
Well, thank you. Thought it was fairly obvious also.

Cork inability to win anything in the air in the half back line came back to haunt them again.. It's a problem since the great mid noughties team. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 14/07/2019 19:59:31 2210943 Link 0 |
One doesn't play a county but a team representing the county and this particular team is not the team that used to waltz through Leinster and blow every other team, bar Tipp, off the pitch by half time. That day is gone Cockney, you should relax and enjoy the win and not to be so disparaging of the Galway hurlers. Without club hurling lasting in Galway throughout history, you'd still be playing cricket in KK, as you were when Michael Cusack, another cricket man, learned the rules of hurling from two Galway hurling clubs in 1883!

Handy win for Tipp against a team who will never get that far again!

Cats prove again why we can never right them off. Limerick by far the hardest match up but they'll have to over come the munster winners curse. Break not as long as it used to be but still a factor. If Limerick are on form can't see them not winning. 3rd match in a row for KK in Croker. That should stand to them. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 14/07/2019 20:55:10 2210988 Link 0 |
When Kilkenny won their first hurling all ireland in 1904 captain Jer Doheny said 'In Cork and Tipperary they laugh at our love of cricket... but in Kilkenny we love our cricket, and we love our hurling too!'. Anthony Daly stole most of that iconic speech 91 years later. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 14/07/2019 20:56:59 2210992 Link 1 |
Agree with your comment about the kk defence. As I suspected though Cork really struggled against sustained intensity. Good luck in the semi final. I think you might need it, but that's for another day. Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 14/07/2019 21:07:27 2210999 Link 0 |
Very enjoyable match today I thought. I thought KK were dead and buried when Cork got their first goal but credit to KK, they showed the usual never say die attitude. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 14/07/2019 21:08:10 2211000 Link 0 |
Not quite as handy as the 1989 All Ireland!

Hurl8ng played continuously in at least 2 other counties I know of and maybe more. Wexford and Antrim for sure.
