Cork have beat Tipp , Waterford and Clare in this hurling championship which one of them gave Cork their toughest game ? Redhot (Cork) - Posts: 698 - 12/07/2017 11:32:38 2015464 Link 0 |
None of them! Cork were far superior on all days and should be joint favs now with Galway for the All Ireland.

None it's Cork's All-Ireland to lose now. Galway might stay with them for 30 - 40 minutes if they are lucky. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 12/07/2017 12:05:35 2015494 Link 0 |

Corks toughest game in this years HC MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13706 - 12/07/2017 12:12:43 2015500 Link 0 |
I agree Clare were best against Cork and might well have won had they taken their chances.This Cork team has come overnight like the mushrooms and they are serious contenders for the All-Ireland.I still think either Galway or Tipp will win it out this year. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2160 - 12/07/2017 12:15:46 2015503 Link 0 |
I still fancy Tipp and I am not sure if Cork will even make the final. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 12/07/2017 12:56:15 2015532 Link 0 |
Tipp were closest to Cork without even being in form. Cork only won that game in the last few pucks of the ball. Cornerback1977 (Cork) - Posts: 67 - 12/07/2017 13:07:25 2015543 Link 0 |
You are probably right because a Kerry person would know all about the game of hurling

Nothing to do with him being from Kerry ......... 2002 Waterford won the Munster Final, knocked out in the semi final by Clare who lost in the early rounds in Munster 2007 Waterford won the Munster Final, knocked out in the semi final by Limerick who lost the Munster Final 2008 Tipperary won the Munster Final, knocked out in the semi final by Waterford who lost to Clare in Munster 2010 Waterford won the Munster Final, knocked out in the quarter final by Tipperary who lose the Munster 1/4 final to Cork 2013 Limerick won the Munster Final, knocked out by Clare who lost to Cork in the Munster championship ...... The winners in Munster often face a 5-6 week break before their next game and the sides with the momentum from back door games pick them off. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 12/07/2017 13:42:24 2015572 Link 0 |
Ignorant comment Redhot and not one a lot of Cork people would agree with........an awful lot of good hurling people in Kerry who have helped them make massive progress in recent years so catch yourself on.

In 2013 both provincial champions were knocked out in the semi finals. With Dublin losing to Cork after a 5 week gap.

How many teams have won the all Ireland hurling after coming in the backdoor

I think the long break will suit this Cork team. This team puts in a savage effort in every game closing down the man and have an immense work rate. This was very obvious in the league against Tipp in Pairc Ui Rinn. The next week out Limerick beat Cork. I don't think the back door would suit this Cork team.

This is an absurd comment. There is a hotbed of hurling in North Kerry and Kilgarvan. Johnny Quirke, 4 in a row winning Ireland hurler was from Milltown.
