Biggest win since 2010 - challenge now for footballers is to kick on again
<p><strong>Rebels flying high after Donegal win</strong></p><br><p>The Echo Sport Podcast crew is back to discuss another bumper weekend of Cork GAA action.</p><br><p>Now in its fourth season, the podcast sees the Echo team discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. In the wake of Saturday’s incredible All-Ireland SFC win over Donegal, Denis Hurley is joined by Barry O’Mahony and John Horgan.</p><br><p>Going in as outsiders in the round 2A clash in Ballybofey, Cork were given little chance of taking the direct route to the quarter-finals, especially when they trailed at half-time, but a flurry of two-pointers swung the game the way of John Cleary’s men.</p><br><p>All things considered, Barry O’Mahony reckons that it was the county’s biggest football championship win since the 2010 All-Ireland, with the county board’s decision to sanction a flight to Derry vindicated.</p><br><p>Cork now have the luxury of a gap until the quarter-finals at the end of June, with the round 3 fixtures this weekend set to eliminate four of Monaghan, Westmeath, Donegal, Dublin, Kerry, Armagh, Mayo and Meath. Waiting along with Cork for the last-eight ties in Croke Park are Galway, Louth and Derry, underlining the sense that it is the most open football championship in years.</p><br><p>In the recent past, Cork have been guilty of following a good result with a poor one and the challenge now is to change that record and reach a semi-final, something that has not happened since 2012.</p><br><p>That year, both the Cork hurlers and footballers made the last four of their respective championships and the hurlers can complete the first leg of such a double this Sunday if they beat Offaly in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final in Thurles.</p><br><p>Despite the expected absences of Tommy O’Connell and Tim O’Mahony, Cork will be strong favourites to get the better of the Faithful County, though Offaly did impress in qualifying from the Leinster round-robin.</p><br><p>Notwithstanding Limerick’s defeat to Dublin last year, the panel expect Cork to respond strongly to the Munster SHC loss to the Shannonsiders. Also in action this weekend are Keith Ricken’s minor football side, who take on Derry as they seek to build on an impressive campaign to date.</p><br><p>While the minor hurlers lost their semi-final to Tipperary, it was their seventh championship game and laid a foundation for the further development of the players involved.</p><p>You can listen at https://<a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.echolive.ie%2Fpodcast&data=05%7C02%7Cbri.hyland%40examiner.ie%7C2b0e61ac752e4249f8c808decabeb526%7Ce6c8e7dc529047f68b07209934781091%7C0%7C0%7C639171117598597622%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Qd5XqJqFLtRZ87b5SsJD%2BHAm95AMD0kFD1ffjiDh0yo%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>www.echolive.ie/podcast</u></a> or wherever you get your podcasts.a</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Down but not out – Cork regroup after narrow loss to Limerick
<p>The Echo Sport Podcast crew is back to discuss another bumper weekend of Cork GAA action.</p><p> </p><p>Now in its fourth season, the podcast sees the Echo team discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. In the wake of Sunday’s Munster SHC final, Denis Hurley is joined by Barry O’Mahony and John Horgan.</p><p> </p><p>They assess what might have gone differently, both from a Cork point of view and in terms of the officiating of the game, and what effect it might have.</p><p> </p><p>Cork had only one wide but fell short of their opponents in terms of shots taken while the panellists discuss whether or not the bench could have been used more.</p><p> </p><p>Referee James Owens’ performance came in for plenty of attention and John and Barry give their view as to how much of a factor that was, as well as acknowledging the brilliance of Limerick in bouncing back following last year’s penalty shootout loss to Cork.</p><p> </p><p>In the wake of that defeat, Limerick were then eliminated by Dublin and that is a pitfall Cork must avoid as the reset and refocus before facing Offaly in the All-Ireland quarter-final.</p><p> </p><p>Also in action this weekend were the Cork minor footballers, who had an impressive win over Meath to reach a first Electric Ireland All-Ireland MFC semi-final in five years. Champions Derry await but it has been a hugely positive year for the team, with John rightly pointing out the impact of manager Keith Ricken, renowned as a top developer of young talent.</p><p> </p><p>The minor hurlers are in action this weekend, with Munster champions Tipperary lying in wait in the All-Ireland semi-final in Limerick. Donal Mulcahy’s side have improved since a seven-point loss to the Premier County in the provincial round-robin and will be keen to show their wares with a final at stake.</p><p> </p><p>That game is on Saturday and so is the senior football round 2A meeting with Donegal in Ballybofey.</p><p> </p><p>Cork are massive outsiders against a side that put Kerry to the sword in Killarney but Barry O’Mahony feels that they have to approach this in a positive frame of mind despite the size of the challenge, with no thought given to a potential round 3 tie. Hopefully they will be in ‘flying’ form.</p><p> </p><p>You can listen at htps://<a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.echolive.ie%2Fpodcast&data=05%7C02%7Civan.rodriguez%40examiner.ie%7Cdfa43c1c9e444921977508dec547c30f%7Ce6c8e7dc529047f68b07209934781091%7C0%7C0%7C639165109161596157%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=MN7PDDTJkWCETjG2n5iEU8rs0B6WYRBOAvqbf7kBWCw%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.echolive.ie/podcast</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Munster hurling final preview, can Cork beat Limerick again?
<p>It's the calm before the storm as The Echo Sport Podcast crew previews the Munster hurling final.</p><br><p><br></p><p>If it's a case of familiarity breeding contempt, then we are in for a fiery battle by the Lee on Sunday as Cork and Limerick collide for the fifth time this season, going back to the preseason Munster Hurling League. The Treaty had the upper hand in the first three meetings while Cork snatched a narrow win in April when the absence of Aaron Gillane and the dismissal of Cian Lynch were major factors.</p><br><p><br></p><p>This time, Cork have home advantage again but are without Ciarán Joyce and captain Darragh Fitzgibbon against a full-strength Limerick. On that basis, John Kiely's charges are favourites, even if Cork haven't lost a game in league or championship in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in two years.</p><br><p><br></p><p>The Rebels have an excellent record against Limerick, with four championship wins across the last three seasons but Fitzgibbon was Man of the Match in three of those, which underlines what a loss he is. In contrast, Dan Morrissey is back and will be tasked with outmuscling Brian Hayes.</p><br><p><br></p><p>Still, Cork will tear into it with the pressure off in many ways, as the losers will still be expected to beat Offaly to reach the All-Ireland semi-finals.</p><br><p>KEY QUESTIONS:</p><br><p>Can the younger guns like William Buckley, Barry Walsh and Diarmuid Healy fire in Fitzie's absence though? Who will be able to handle Gillane, who smashed two goals against Waterford? Can in-form Mark Coleman, Rob Downey, Tim O'Mahony and Shane Barrett offer match-winning leadership?</p><br><p><br></p><p>There's also a discussion on Patrick Horgan's reaction to Ben O'Connor's comments on Cork's work-rate.</p><br><p><br></p><p>At minor level, the U17s were brilliant at times in their All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Kilkenny. They now join Tipp, Limerick and Galway in the last four.</p><br><p><br></p><p>At club level, there's a look at the stage of play across the hurling leagues, with Midleton and Sars on course to meet in the Division 1 decider.</p><br><p><br></p><p>The minor footballers are back in action this weekend, taking on Meath in the All-Ireland quarter-final.</p><br><p><br></p><p>Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O’Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
