Cork 2-24 Clare 3-19
Somewhere on the way, Cork will receive his due. It will probably win an All-Ireland – and it's probably fair enough – but even with that, their second Munster title on the rebound, there is a feeling that they have not yet convinced the whole world hurling their qualifications. It is not quite right but it is there.
They can only do what they can only do. If nothing else, they came here with their courage tested energetically. When John Conlon seemed to seal his man of the match by stroking his fifth point of play while the clock scored 35 minutes, Clare had a lead of 2-11 to 0-9. They scored as they heard at one end of the field and held each of the Cork attackers the heroic Patrick Horgan to the other. "Coasting," as co-manager Gerry O'Connor later said.
If this championship in Munster does not tell us anything else, it is that an eight-point lead is not a suggestion of infallibility. Yet such was Clare's dominance at that time that it seemed that all they had to do was keep their edge intact and the slope of the second half of Cork would be too much steep. If this Munster final had a turn, then it was the puck that followed Conlon's fifth score.
Seamus Harnedy had not done much in the game except for a broken early point following some negligence in the game. Clare defense. But here, when he absolutely, positively, no room for the mess, Harnedy got a telescopic paw on Anthony Nash's puck, ignored a foul and headed for the Town End, slipping a pbad to Luke Meade for Cork When Mark Coleman curved a perfect sideline on the bar a minute later, it meant Cork was going to the four-point break but felt like he could fight lightning.
"It's the only thing," said Nash afterward. "We've played a lot together, the new format is useful because you're playing more and more games together, and last year we had a good series of games, but we think it's certainly positive." to do what we did, as a team before going back to more difficult situations, there was never really any panic with the guys. "
If there were, it was would not have seemed out of place. Not for the first time this summer, Cork has been open several times in this first half. Conlon was untouchable at the forefront, torturing Damien Cahalane for four points, then luring his new Colm Spillane marker into a yellow card foul as soon as he contacted him.
Tony Kelly was a pretty hectic presence but the only time He imposed himself in the afternoon, he skated on a 60-meter run that left Coleman coughing in his dust before he lead to David Reidy for Clare's first goal. When Peter Duggan got a long-range shot from goalkeeper Donal Tuohy for his second goal in the 34th minute, Clare was rampant.
It would be difficult to accuse them of falling asleep just before half-time – not to mention it would diminish the majesty of Harnedy's grip and pbad for Meade's purpose. But they came out unscathed after the break, needing a knockout from Tuohy to keep Harnedy almost immediately.
Darragh Fitzgibbon raised a point shortly after, the first act of a huge second half of Cork's midfield. Horgan, impbadive all afternoon, came out and threw his third game over his shoulder a minute later and then pocketed a 65. Clare's lead had vanished in the 45th minute .
They wobbled at the wrong time. Duggan had been perfect until half-time but missed three freed in the 15 minutes after the break. Just as significantly, the supply lines from Clare to Conlon were fatally disrupted. He barely touched the ball in the second half and finished with the same total of five points that he brought. If the victory of Cork match came to the extreme limit, it would have allowed to erase the influence of Conlon.
"That's why they are champions and worthy champions," said O & # 39; Connor. "The match lasted more than 75 minutes, we were not able to take possession of our own puck as regularly as we were in the first half and because of that there was a lot of ball that was cut by their players, half-back line and feed their front line.In addition, as a result of our supply to our front line, especially to John who had a great match in the first half. we were deprived of possession to the & # 39; inside the line & # 39; before second-half [19659003"Enpremièremi-tempsnousutilisionsnosmilieuxdeterrainetnosailierscommeoptionsdemiseaupotJepensequeCorkaprobablementeuunediscussionàcesujetàlami-tempsetilsontpoussésurnosdemi-arrièresetmilieuxdeterrainMaisnousavonsquandmêmeeuquelquesrondesdansnosdemi-arrièresetnotremilieudeterrainmaisnousavonsprobablementétéretournésoulaballeaétédroppée"
When the game turned the way to Cork. he stayed Turned out, Clare went for the first time all afternoon with the second Harnedy point in the 46th minute and was never able to get in the lead afterwards. Podge Collins' was insinuated in the game here and there and scored a few points, Conor McGrath came off the bench to grab one of his own.
But Cork was equal to all that. Harnedy snuck out to score his second Cork goal after Bill Cooper spotted him in his half-acre around the Clare 45. He placed them 2-18 at 2-15 in the 57th minute and the closest Clare was it's at that time that Ian Galvin came home with a goal of scoring goals in injury time.
The title of Munster of Cork, then. What buys them from here, however, only the road will tell us.
