Nemo by a point after ET. Newcestown had two chances to get the equaliser after the 20 minute mark.

Would be nice to see Nemo back competing again.

Micheal Martin would be more insufferable, much prefer to see likes of Castlehaven back

[gallsman]

To Castlehaven back? They won the last two and won Munster two years ago ffs.

Newcestown a far better and more heartwarming story. Tiny little dual club that punch way above their weight.

The GAA needs a strong Cork and strong Cork City clubs in my opinion.

Ballincollig win either would be nice.

This post reminds me of Colm O'Rourkes remark around 15 years ago about the GAA needing a strong Dublin and once they started to dominate he called for Dublin to be split in two or three 

Best to leave Cork footballers where they are,  bad enough with the hype surrounding their hurlers.

A strange thing about Cork senior football is the number of VERY old lads who are still massively important for their clubs.

Donnchadh O'Connor, Daniel Goulding, Fiachra Lynch, Paul Kerrigan all with big roles the last few weeks. Tadhg Twomey today playing CHF for Newcestown today is 42. My old mate JP Murphy playing for Ballincollig is 36, and I don't think he's even the oldest lad on the team.

I don't agree... I meant footballers only I should've stated.

Dont want hurling to take over in cork altogether.

Ulster Senior Champions and All-Ireland finalists Errigal Ciaran knocked out tonight.
