I was thinking that Cork team looked ready for senior hurling pretty much directly afterwards.

And I know one of them has gone off to play rugby now for Munster.

But the rest of them were pretty much ready to make that step up.

And we're starting to see some of those lads over the last year, 18 months now, playing for the Cork seniors.

And they look physically ready to step that day off the pitch and thoroughly listen to a senior panel.

So different today has gone by.

Just even the way the lads are kind of conditioning themselves.

So the finals on Saturday then.

You were like me, Murph.

Sports, TG Carr, YouTube was on.

Over the weekend, I believe TG Carr showed over 30 games.

Because they were showing the Comortis Pell, which is on up in Donegal as well.

It was kind of just a crazy amount of games that they had over the weekend just gone by.

But Saturday afternoon, we were able to see the doubleheader in Crowe Park.

Might start off with the Christie ring because you would watch Derry and Kerry the draw from a few weeks ago.

Some Kerry fans were questioning maybe the team selection that time around.

They picked up a couple of knocks along the way.

And Derry would come out on top in the end, 324 to 319.

So this ends a horrible run for Derry of losing four finals over the last five seasons, going back to the Offaly final in 2021.

And now they've got over the line.
