Don’t think so

Yes, I think so.
Cork are through now, and the other finalists will be as well.

Great win tonight.

One question - why wasnt this game promoted more? I barely knew twas on, no mention of what day twas on in the original team list announcement.
Promote the dam thing

It was Tipp. My fault for cutting the heading when posting. which I do when printing it for my brother. It never occurred to me that people wouldn't head over the the Cork website to check. Look -

So last night's win was bigger than I thought, guaranteed then a munster final and at least one game in the AI series, that's what we want for player development

Clare bet Limerick in the semi final tonight, 2-21 to 2-25, so they'll play Cork in the final next week. I would imagine Clare will be favourites.

Bad few days for the Limerick machine

Munster final on tomorrow night against Clare, I think it's on tg4 online

Any link? I can't see it on YouTube tg4

Na, my stream isnt working.
And Cork arent working, its a mirror image of the group game but actually worse, Clare with 1-4 in 8 minutes and its all over with 22 to go, Clare playing with total confidence and will coast to victory

Clare 1-19, Cork 0-15. Congrats to Clare, a long awaited tile, good for hurling people up there,. They're going well.

Disaster again for Cork in the second half. Clare destroyed us. Didn't see it but it appears that the style of play was wrong. How infuriating is that? Only for Barry Walsh it would have been 12 points plus.
The team are way too inconsistent.

Play the winners ofLeinster next which will probably be Galway. Twill be all over after that I'm afraid

Are you sure of that last part Tipp? On PROC they're saying that the Munster and Leinster winners are straight through to the All-Ireland final.

Disappointing result, but perhaps not unexpected. After all, didn't Clare also beat them 12-7 in the round robin?

A lot of swearing and cursing at Donal Og over last year's minors, which were not supposed to have been great anyway before the season even began. He took the job because no one else would and I thought he did better than anyone expected because he got them to the Munster semi-final, where they lost to Clare 2-16 to 0-16 (I think). Tonight, with a supposedly better team and manager, they lost by 7 points.

I see they're following your line now Tipp. While there's life, there's hope.

Fair play to Barry Walsh last night. Unbelievable courage to out and perform like that after what he's been through. A real proper hero

Barry Walsh and the Clare corner back Gunning for Clare were the two stand out players of the game. Walsh looked the most filled out on the pitch. A great prospect.

The carrott here is that the AI final is on with the U20 final in Thurles on Sun June 4th, twould be something if they got through with the 20s.
However, i expect Galway to win tomorrow and to win the AI

Galway 10 minute burst before HT puts the game to bed. Cork look very limited.
Could get ugly second half

Up against it unfortunately

Doing a lot better but wides are a killer, trying hard

Totally outclassed. That's a fine Galway side with 3 excellent forwards in particular in Kileen, Niland and Rabbitte who bullied d Cork halfbacks all day.

Still though, from a player development point of view, Cork did well, theyd a good run. Played 6 proper games, one less than Clare (and Galway?) and hopefully they'll kick in at under 20.

By the way, I wish minor was still under 18
