Best game of the weekend. Winner faces Limerick. No love lost between these old rivals. Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 10/07/2019 10:54:05 2208922 Link 0 |
Cork for me. They should be too fast and nimble for those Kilkenny backs. But again I would trust that Cork fullback line. They are sometimes very good and sometimes equally as bad. I think Limerick would prefer Kilkenny to come through but it ll be a hard game whomever wins out. For me if Cork can get motoring in their half forward line and get any sort of rhythm then it's hard to see Kilkenny stop them. I'd be surprised if Kilkenny dont attack Cork right down the middle. They need goals to win. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 10/07/2019 12:02:37 2208970 Link 0 |

I'd fancy Cork to win. The thing with modern Cork is they win games with big scores and concede a lot too. They beat us in the Championship and the NHL but still conceded 1-22 & 1-19 in the process. There doesn't seem to be a plan B apart from win the shootout and they are always a very entertaining side to watch. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 10/07/2019 14:58:40 2209080 Link 0 |
Contemplating on what I've seen and perusing over all the results of the championship so far; I haven't a clue how this match will go. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2418 - 10/07/2019 18:35:28 2209193 Link 0 |
Yes..,Hurling has always been the winner here.

Should be a fascinating game. Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 10/07/2019 19:59:30 2209224 Link 0 |
Looking forward to this game. I think it'll be a 15 on 15 trad. game and turn into a shoot out. The winner will give Limerick a tough game but ultimately lose. I see Kilkenny's defence as weaker than corks( both sets forwards represent the strength of both teams) so I believe Cork will ultimately win.

By far the most exciting match up this weekend. Really looking forward to seeing how it all pans out. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 11/07/2019 14:26:19 2209518 Link 1 |
It was hardly going to be the Tipp match Jack! Cork should win comfortably and I'm already looking forward to them winning their Semi Final too!!

I thought they'd been doing that the last decade and a half ;-)

That's right in that time KK 8 Tipp 2 = 10 of the last 13 all Irelands won by the other Kingpins, so not much of a chance there... oh but Clare were magnificent in '13!

I've been posting on another thread on how I think, while the Leinster championship has been better in terms of excitement, entertainment, close games etc., the top teams in Munster are better overall. Cork hammering Westmeath while Dublin losing to Laois would be exhibit A for me. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 12/07/2019 05:37:07 2209776 Link 0 |
Maybe you're being a bit harsh on your own team. At the highest level a team's defence is only as good as the weakest link. The last day, Wexford exposed that player. Cody rarely makes mistakes. He never makes the same mistake twice. If Buckley is fit I expect him to play at CB with Walsh to his right. Up top Walter has had an extra 2 weeks and there are sure to be positional changes if not personnel. In my opinion, cork are a great team when they're on top but I'm not convinced they are the best at absorbing the pressure. I'm not into the Leinster/Munster which is better bullsh*t, but I hope KK win. Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 12/07/2019 09:48:35 2209810 Link 0 |
I agree, you can't compare Leinster and Munster. Munster is generally a high scoring shoot out with teams getting 25+ points in games. In Leinster you have to earn your scores a lot harder. It's a much more physical battle. I think Limerick have come to the table in terms of their physicality and that's why they are the top dogs at the moment. What would worry me if I was a KK person would be the fact that it's been a few years since they've gotten on top of a team and really driven it home. All the games they win now generally come down to the wire. I think it'll be either Cork by 5+ or the Cats by 1 or 2. It'll be interesting to see the forward line up of both teams, that'll tell a lot. Faithfull (Offaly) - Posts: 573 - 12/07/2019 12:52:08 2209924 Link 1 |
