Cork have really caught fire in the last 2 weeks. They look like all ireland winners on this form.
Still not sure what Cork will turn up. They had some following in Thurles today. Like a home match for them. Be interesting to see where they finish up this year. Last year, they weren't that far off- only beat by a point or two in a few games. So they have improved enough to get the wins. They weren't hammered last year. You could see the progress.
On a big pitch, they have serious pace up top. Connolly is a real goal threat now. Straight for goal. The goal Cork got on half-time was a killer for Tipp. Half-time talk changes for both. Nobody put a tackle in.
Next goal was poor. Barret was down injured (hamstring I think) and then Hogan gives him the puck out. He fumbles and gets turned over...bang goal. Hogan shouldn't have went short to him at that time....madness.
Tipp are in big bother I think. Be a few years before they're back. Big changing of the guard now you'd think - Mc Graths, Ronan Maher and Bonnar Maher etc. Will Cahill be the man to oversee the change over?
Downey's at 3 and 6 are good. Improving with each game. Hard for Joyce to get back in again. Kingston is some lad coming off the bench. 4 pts in a 15 mins spell. Only thing is that he's now nearly a sub because of this impact in recent games.
Big win for Wexford V Carlow. For all their effort,it'll be a big battle for survival between Carlow and Antrim. They could find it hard to come back up again as Mc Donagh is tough.
Plenty to play for in the other 2 games in Leinster. Management will be tuned into the other game I'm sure.
