For anyone who didn't see the match today and was hoping The Sunday Game would fill them in, Conor Lehane had one of his best ever games for Cork and scored 0-7 from play. They barely featured him in the highlights there!

This was somehow not awarded as a free to Cork to put them two up deep into injury time before losing to Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Mind-boggling decision.

Not trying to whinge cause twas a savage day but how was The Sunday Game more about Clare 'collapsing' than Cork outhurling & outmuscling them in the 2nd half? Game turned on switches - Joyce to 6, Spillane on Conlon, Fitz to half-forward - and Cork winning the middle third...

I can't understand how the analysis of Cork and Waterford on @TheSundayGame didn't refer to Conor O'Sullivan coming on as sweeper! He had a hand in four points and stopped a certain goal. It was a key switch by the management. And he's been on the fringes since 2016.

Clare pucked the game away, as they have before in recent Munster finals, but that was as stonewall a free as you'll see at the end of added time. Inter-county referees are not having a good run lately!

Daniel Kearney deserved a bit more credit on The Sunday Game, 0-4 from play, fouled for five scoreable frees and two assists. Close to Eoin Cadogan as Man of the Match. Also felt Fitzgibbon's display was very mature and disciplined. Held the middle and made some big tackles.

Last three years Ring's teams: played 13, won nine, lost three, drew one. Cork won their first Munster minor in nine years and first U21 in 11. All three defeats were by a puck of a ball and the U20 last night was always 50-50. Disappointing but a bit of perspective is needed.

Can't understand Rebel Óg's approach to this. Keeping players involved 'on the age' as much as possible should be the aim. Rolling grades in together because of a handful of stronger players is completely at odds with player development for all.
