Cork Camogie and Cork Ladies Football

I't time this thread was started to broaden the appeal of this forum.

Back in the early days of LGF in Cork, my brother was a referee (I once had to do an umpire job for him!) and before that he was coach to a camogie club.

Starting with a few links.

Cork's results in the league have been indifferent of late, so, hopefully this signals a resurgence.

Cork shot themselves in the foot with numerous wides against a more physical Galway in the Camogie League final. This is the second year in a row they have lost the league final to Galway, having also lost the All-Ireland final last year to Kilkenny.

Cork return to the All-Ireland final with a hard-earned victory over Galway. Like the quarter-final against Kilkenny they had to overcome the concession of goals when they looked to be pulling away. A good sign of a team to keep going despite those setbacks. They now meet Waterford, who have already beaten them this year,  in the final.



Cork v Kilkenny Report

Cork are out of the 2023 Ladies Senior Football Championship after a frustrating loss to Dublin in the semi-final. Five missed goal chance (three saves by the Dublin goalkeeper) and about ten wides made it an impossible task under the circumstances. However, a contrast in application was the biggest difference for me. Dublin gave Cork no respite throughout the field and throughout the game. Ever Cork kickout was contested by them, while Cork put no pressure at all on the Dublin restarts. Workrate has to change if Cork are ever again to win the football championship.

Cork leading at half time in the Senior Camogie final against Waterford, 1-9 to 0-3.

Waterford are stronger physically than Cork and like terriers at a bone. Cork were lucky when a last minute penalty in the first half to Waterford was driven wide.

All-Ireland Camogie Final

Full Time score:

Cork 5-13; Waterford 0-9

Three quick goals inside the first six minutes of the second half made a difficult task for Waterford an impossible one. Amy O’Connor scored 3-2 from play. Cork are now 3 positions ahead of Dublin on the All-Ireland table.

Cork all Ireland Champions

Well done to them. Fantastic achievement to come back after last 2 years
