Whereas, it's funny, in Leinster, and we talked about Leinster, if Dublin win this weekend in 10 years, it'll be four different counties will have won Leinster.

Yeah.

You know, so it's funny the way it is.

Asher, like most teams, I think you're advised on average, now every player might follow it, you're advised on average nutrition-wise to eat your full meal three hours before throw-in.

So usually wherever they're meeting, it could be, wherever they're meeting, I don't know if it'll be in Cork or on the border or somewhere down, they'll be meeting for food at 11.

I'm just going, I'm just walking back here off the top of my head.

So they'll be meeting for food at 11.

they'll have their grub at 11 very same as I'm sure Cork will they'll have a bit of just crack together and a bit of downtime then for an hour wherever they are meeting and then you know it'll ramp up then and it's some feeling as well once you're final when you're getting that you know that guard escort in through all the crowds and everything I remember playing down in Cork

They seem, I think they will, they seem to follow all the time and I think that's why you described it, Downey sits at times and not only will they follow him back to field during the game, it seems, John, they continue to follow on puck outs, you know, which I find, I just, I feel Emric are getting the better of puck outs but I suppose, look, it's all, Cork will still be happy to last it, you know, they still won the game so I presume they'll still go with the same tactic because I talk Rod Hegarty

two or three years ago I think we played them in 2022 down there in the first round and we came across over the bridge and we were coming there's a big pub that's a busy pub and like every county has one I'm not just giving it to Cork now there was there's a few you know gum beans in every county there was one or two one or two of them fired bottles of cider off the bus glass bottles

and Cotten O'Neill were really, really good against Cork the last day.

I thought Grodd Higgarty was brilliant and he won a mountain of puck-outs down in Parc y Cuid the last day.

So, it's an area that I think Glimric will continue to get joy from.

Well, to be honest, I think they'll continue to win puck-outs.

yeah genuinely now but you know what at the time I didn't I thought it was unreal you know in one way I know one way that shouldn't happen blah blah blah the windows didn't break right but there was one or two bottles fired off the bus if anything it only got some fellas going I was sitting beside some of the lads that were starting that day and I tell you one thing it got them going oh yeah if anything they shouldn't have turned the bottles because they were they were ready to go and I think we won that day by 8 points

The half-forward line, it's a thing where Cork continue to struggle these half-backs marking the likes of Grodd Higgarty and Cotten O'Neill.

So, I think they will continue to follow, yeah?

And I think they'll continue to follow across, over and back the field with, say, on Nicky's puck-outs.

which suits the likes of Grodd-Higgarty because if you're at a game, let's just watch the run that Grodd-Higgarty does.

It's not a lot of his skill or he's feeling it a high ball.
