Down's turn to be cynical here and put in the rugby tackles. Can't let Cork through for a goal

Goal cork - game over it seems!

You cursed them AFS!!!

Full Time
Corcaigh 1-13 An Dún 2-09

Gavin Joyce was talking to the physio looked like he said shouldn't have let it in and she said it's not your fault. Must be awful being GK in situations like that.

Horrible luck. Hard luck Down.

Game over - ref gave down a chance and if the no 5 had picked the ball up rather than playing soccer they'd probably have equalised it!

Heartbreak for Down who gave Cork a lesson at times. Cork were a much bigger, more physical side. Best team lost.

Football can be cruel at times.

Fair play to Cork at the same time - never gave up and fought to the end.

The throw up ball about 5 mins from the end proved costly.

didnt get to the match watched it on tv. was an excellent game of football, both teams tried to play good open football. heartbreaking for down. 2 points is a dangerous lead.

Don't know about that. Cork led for most of the game.

I thought Cork were the better team - no 13 and no 14 were the two best players on the pitch and 11 and 12 weren't bad either.

Down have some good footballers on that team too who'll go far. The big midfielder and McComiskey will probably see a good bit of senior action this summer.

No 7, 13 and 15 will also be good when they beef up a bit.

feel sick after that ending

Cork football looks to be in for a relatively healthy period.

I'd also disagree with that.
Down worked the 2 goals well but I was disappointed with their forwards.
Cork effectively had to play without their best forward (Sheehan struggled badly with injury and had to go off) but Gould, O'Neill and the centre forward played well.

You have to be joking, Cork looked the far better team for long periods and while they caught a break at the end to win it there is no way the better team lost. I wouldn't say Cork were superior either but they are as deserving winners as Down would have been had Down held on, now when they beat Laois 2 years ago with a late goal, in that one they did beat the better team.

Cork have been coming for a good number of years now and I've said it before but they will be the standard bearers in football over the next 10 years IMO. This won't be the last decent U21 side Cork will produce over the next few years of that you can be sure.
