Cork dominated this grade until the last 3 or 4 years. I could be wrong but I thought that Cork had won 10 out of the previous 14 up to 2017, with Kerry winning twice and Tipperary winning twice. The simple answer as to why this has not followed through to senior is that there isn't one. There will s a massive difference between u20/21 and senior. It just does not compare. Also, other counties have taken teams from underage and put them into a development system to play a certain way, to reflect senior systems. Cork never did this. Whilst talent is there, the tactical awareness was not and they naturally fell behind other counties. This is a feature in Cork with both codes. One poster has commented on the quality of last night not being up to scratch. I think he is wrong with that assessment but understand where he's coming from. The quality of skill and ability was top class. The tactical awareness from both teams and unusually Kerry, in terms of a match with Cork, was lacking. That is typical Cork and needs to be addressed to make the senior team competitive at the top level. BaldyBadger (Cork) - Posts: 311 - 19/07/2019 16:20:55 2213224 Link 1 |
Oisin Gallen another very obvious omission who is also eligible next year. On a separate note to Galway posters what happened to Evan Murphy? He was a very talented minor as we in Donegal found to our cost. Plus I had seen him separately. I think he had injury issues and is also a very talented footballer with cross channel interest. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2779 - 19/07/2019 18:27:27 2213256 Link 0 |

Couldn't disagree with you more,it's the smaller counties that are at a huge disadvantage.
