Hard luck Longford, I'd have loved to have seen ye win it. Sounded like a good point from Wexford to win it. Ailteoir (Galway) - Posts: 921 - 06/04/2011 21:13:44 905624 Link 0 |

Feck, that is some trouncing by Cork, are we now witnessing the shift in the balance of power at all levels of Munster football and with it, the national picture as well. brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 06/04/2011 21:25:51 905638 Link 0 |
Great result for Wexford. We needed a win in something, it was getting very depressing down in loch Gorman when the talk turned to gaa. Really now we can let loose in the semi. Cork look awesome but we should just put the head down not and try and win it. No point is going this far and being content with a Leinster medal. Come on the yellow bellies. Hard look to Longford but it sounds like a lot of that team will be back again next year and give it another shot. Nick (Wexford) - Posts: 1100 - 06/04/2011 21:31:39 905645 Link 0 |

Cork U21 were men against boys......and would beat a lot of senior teams. The development squads of counties like Cork, Tyrone and Armagh are really paying off. Cork outran, outplayed, outsized and of course, well outscored Kerry. Deserving Munster champions. kerrykerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1779 - 07/04/2011 09:38:23 905719 Link 0 |
Very satisfying display from Cork last night who overpowered and outplayed Kerry from the start. Walsh and O'Laoire gained a complete stranglehold at midfield and the forwards were deadly accurate from play. Cork have now amassed 47 scores in two games which is a serious return at any level. It wouldn't surprise me if one or two of the young forwards - Collins and O'Driscoll in particular - earn a call up to the senior panel before the year is out. Obviously the winning margin off 22 points was not an accurate reflection of the two teams but sometimes games, particularly at underage can take on a life of their own and everything Cork tried last night came off while the opposite was true for Kerry. eviemonkey (Cork) - Posts: 308 - 07/04/2011 11:11:45 905825 Link 0 |
This is really an embarrassment to the national newspaper. Ever hear of rubbing salt into wounds? Hanley2 (Longford) - Posts: 420 - 07/04/2011 11:23:10 905838 Link 0 |
In keeping with the poor standard of GAA coverage by RTE, I couldnt find reports on any of the U21 games from last nite on their website, although in fairness their cricket coverage is second to none! brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 07/04/2011 11:35:26 905853 Link 0 |

It's taken down now. Your man wrote about Longford finally winning the Leinster and a load of bull. Obviously wen it was level. He's reworded it now and has the headline 'Leinster set completed as long drought ends in purple and gold oasis' as opposed to 'Longford's drout ends in blue and gold'.

the thing that hanley though offensive was wexford won.... But serious its a good article telling about a team winning against the odds 20 point hammering to louth last year with 12 players from that panel still playing tells a fair tale story... It the end of the line for wexford as either cavan or tyrone will maul them in the semi finals... shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1948 - 07/04/2011 12:06:38 905899 Link 0 |

I don't agree that wexford will get hammered by the winners in ulster. Think people are still taking for granted that because none of the big guns from Leinster made it through that Leinster is weak this year. Time will tell anyway but I think it's impossible to gauge each province against each other at the moment. The argument could also be put forward that cork walked munster and so the other teams were very weak this year. I am sure that most people will say no that cork are just awesome. If Waterford were in corks position at the moment we would be saying munster was **** and they will get hammered. Nick (Wexford) - Posts: 1100 - 07/04/2011 12:31:50 905938 Link 0 |
IT has taken a long time, but Longford have finally completed the Leinster football championship title set. Hanley2 (Longford) - Posts: 420 - 07/04/2011 13:00:54 905965 Link 0 |
Agree it is hard to know but I was in Pairc ui Rinn last night and I have never seen a more complete performance from any Cork team in football. Plus they have a really plum manager in JOhn Cleary. In fact that management team are there for years. 6 Munster championships in 8 years . marym (Cork) - Posts: 242 - 07/04/2011 13:11:53 905978 Link 0 |
