A fantastic win in a game far from the classic so many predicted but the dramatic finish more than made up for that. Sliothar73 (Limerick) - Posts: 18 - 08/06/2026 17:06:59 2678717 Link 1 |

not so sure if cork get to the final they will be better (if they are playing limerick).....mentally they are soft. and a croke park with 82000 fullhouse will they have the bottle to see off a limerick team that take a full croke park in their stride.

add Shane Fitzgibbon to that Cork team and he improves them by at least a couple of points Add in that BOC is really only learning his trade as a manager - he will improve The guts Cork showed last year to win Munster, after we had hammered them in the round robin doesnt show mental softness. But they are a bit of an enigma. What struck me about last Sunday is that Limerick were by a distance, and by all the metrics, the better team - shots, possession, wides, puckouts. And yet we won only by a single point, we trailed for most of the game, and Cork could have stolen extra time at the death. We played like the team that lacked a wee bit of confidence and I cant help but wonder if those narrow defeats to Cork had the team questioning themselves The relief on winning from the coaches and players was evident Now, maybe we will kick on, and improve further or maybe Cork will take heart from an average enough performance (no score from play for more than 30 minutes!) that still almost won the game? No matter who we play in the semi is going to be a challenge Clare may be on the wane, and maddeningly inconsistent but tare capable of beating anybody in a one-off game. Dublin lack a bit of belief in themselves (they are not as bad as they looked v Galway) but for obvious reasons might fancy a shot at Limerick We have a few things to work on for 3 weeks time We have to play English (he is too good to not start) which means shuffling the deck as we also have to play O Donovan and Lynch Gillane is a wee bit off but he has to play - he is too important to us And we are still vulnerable to pacy forwards (Clare, Cork) And we are creating more goal scoring chances but we are not as clinical at taking them as some teams Yadse (Limerick) - Posts: 267 - 12/06/2026 00:34:04 2679067 Link 0 |
