Cork v Kilkenny

Well done to the Cork lads. Yes, they lost, but they put up a brave performance against such a strong Kilkenny side and made me truly proud to be a Corkonian. Players such as Diarmuid O'Sullivan were truly superb. This is the Cork team I have grown up with. They made me develop such a deep passion for the game, and for Cork. Speculation is everywhere that the Rock and others may have played their last game in Croke Park, and this may be true, but I know along with everyone else that there are another few years left in these players yet, if they choose to continue. I have such respect for the Cork team that walked out on Sunday. They went into that match as underdogs and were unsurprisingly beaten, but one match does not defina a team. There is alot more to that team than what we saw on Sunday, and they will have their day, some other time.
