Well its the big clash on Sunday down the Pairc at 4. How do ye think we will do lads? I think its going to be very difficult for us to win but in JBM we must trust. I think our biggest issue is full-back. I think this is where our downfall might be on Sunday.

mcdonnel had a poor showing against the cats in the league final , but to be honest was playing well up until then , cahalane is young but did not dominate durning the under 21 outing against tip very undeciseve alot of times so i think JBM will stay with the Glen man , league and championship are totally different
but still think we have the fire power up front to worry them but the extra match they had against limerick may stand to them

verdict Cork to shade it

Really looking forward to this down in the pairc on sunday...lets hope the rain holds off
Cork need to win this more than tipp and for that fact ill go for the rebels to win
if cork lose on sunday i dont fancy our chances of going through the qualifiers
if we beat tipp i reckon we will beat waterford and go on to an all ireland semi final where its anyones at that stage

heart over head cork by 3

Rebels abú

six changes from the team beating by the cats , heard mcdonnel was injured recently in a club match may explain him not starting or are they all paying the price
for there poor showing in the league final ?

I think JBM has made the right call in dropping McDonnell & Sean Og in defence. As for midfield, its great news that Darren Sweetnam is starting but id have picked John Gardnier over Lorcán Mc Loughlin at midfield.

its nice to give youth its shot , but if JBM is not going to use sean og in the championship would he have being better to have given another youth more matches in the league campaign , nice to see the league being taken more serious by most counties now but alot of young guns out there could still be brought on board for more league exposure

sounded like a close game in first half today but you pulled away well in the end. offaly and cork games are always enjoyable , best of luck in the next round whoever you get.
