Looking forward to the trip to portlaois today. As someone said it could be January before we see them play again. I think if we can get Daire cregg and the tow murtaghs scoring with enda then we can win. i see goals in this game today for both teams. Best of luck to the lads and hopefully we will all have a busy weekend next weekend following minors and seniors

Huge improvement needed in 2nd half. Cork forwards are causing a lot of trouble. Hurley has the beating Iof Stack so far. Too many turnovers and we are being punished every time. We have the bit of breeze for 2nd half but unless we change something at midfield and kickouts again, 2025 will end today.

Absolutely gutted. Thought we showed great fight, improved at midfield but our forwards are drained of confidence. It's been a trend for a while now but butchering chances has put us under pressure at the other end. Seemed to be pure panic in the ranks at the end then. Going through by drawing the game i don't think would have done us any favours. No win bar London since beginning of March is depressing. I'm sure no one more deflated than the players, they've put in huge commitment.

On the wrong end of a fine margin contest again bad habits hard to break. Cork had 4 point the cushion at half-time and that left us chasing the game 2nd half. A one on one goal chance at least 4 late effort for 2 pointers could have got a draw at least out of that game but all that would give is extra week and a likely bigger defeat against a better team than Cork.

That's the end of road for Davy Burke in truth he was done regardless of how we finished in championship. No easy task for the next management starting out in Division 1. Lastly thanks to all the players for the time and effort put in this year they'll be the ones most disappointed tonight.

Arguably the strongest panel we've had together for many years and that's our lot? 1 win in last 9 games, that against London. Fell over the line to get promoted. I hear Davy talking about people disregarding the promotion but that was the absolute minimum of what was expected of us this year. All things considered it has to go down as one of the most disappointing seasons in a long time. I really hope these players give whoever comes in now a chance and commit to another year. If they don't then nobody can begrudge them. Thanks to all the players for their efforts all year.

Wait till you hear why some players were not selected by Davy or dropped by him.
