Fairly happy with the performance at the weekend. Wayward shooting let them down but that happens in the stadium in winter

Impressed with Niland and Rabbitte off the ball and their linkup play. For young lads it's quite developed. Neary looks good too

Once Whelan is back they have the makings of a very good forward line it would seem with options for different scenarios off the bench

Game should have been dead and buried by half time.
Leading at one stage in 1st half 1-07 v 0-03 missing scores, could easily have scored 1-14 by half time.
Over relining on C Mannion for scores and A Niland towards the end.
No enough scores or return from other forwards
Wonder what Neary, Fleming, Mcloughlin, Rabbitte and Niland combined scored from play maybe 3pts between 5 men.
Barrett absolutely destroyed or Centre Back
36yr old Harmendy cleaned out Loftus/Glennon on that side.
Cork must score atleast 2-14 from play
Galway score atleast 0-14 from frees.

Replying To SouthGalway:  "I don't mind who wins now that Gort Community School is out of it but whoever wins please win the All Ireland. Was very close last year."
Don't think either are strong enough this year to win it out. I'd be very surprised if both Kilkenny schools weren't a good bit ahead of everyone else. Raphael's on paper have a decent team though.

For once, agree with everything you said katser. A lot will be found out come championship time
