speaking of lifting us all Galway A rising tide seems to lift all boats, Dermot. Dermot Crowe with me of the Sunday Independent. What a game. What a performance by Galway.
Yeah, it's an exceptional performance. I don't think anybody saw this coming. I mean, you wouldn't have ruled out a Galway win necessarily, but to win in that fashion so comprehensively. And, you know, there's two sides to it. Obviously, Cork for Cork. It's an incredibly disappointing finish to the Championship.
We'll focus on the winners for a minute, because we'll give the winners their due. From a Galway point of view, tactically, I just thought really good in the first half. Allowed Cork to have the puck out. Cork didn't really know what they were doing, even for the first 20 minutes.
Yeah, and even the very first score, because a counter-attack, Tom Monaghan coming up, the turnover, and they packed that defence and crowded that area. And the acreage of space up there, just Jason Rabbit up there, and nearly the whole field in front of Tom Monaghan... He has the legs and all that. And that's what they do.
What were the key tactical decisions made by Galway during the match?
They have tremendous energy. They work back. And they have the players. Then they can really kind of carry the ball quickly up the field and score from distance. And that first score really was a sort of a great settler for them. And they started the match very well. You know, they got the first three points, which is what they wanted. And got their confidence going. Got an early goal. Very near his early goal. And then had a bit of a rocky phase. Started hitting a few wides and that. And Cork came back, settled into the game. But... you know, actually swung from five pints down, Cork went five pints up. Mad, wasn't it, really?
In the middle of the first half, Galway really struggled, but the start and the finish were key. But in the middle, you kind of thought, just Cork kind of figured him out here, like Brian Hazelman.
Yeah, it seemed like they were settling into, they were kind of, you know, they weren't panicking and Hazelman was causing serious problems up there, obviously. Galway had a number of different markers on him.
How did Cork's performance change throughout the game?
Dahi Bourke went in there first and He was getting a good diagonal ball. He was coming out onto it and he was winning it. And then he was turning easily enough. It didn't look good. He was going one way, he was going the other. And now he didn't get in for a goal chance. He set up a goal opportunity for David Healy, which was saved. But he had six points in the first half. He was a problem for Galway, no doubt about it. But at the other side, Rabbit was causing problems. Gahilan a lot of problems and like he's an incredible player he got man of the match afterwards for a young fella for a young fella it's incredible and he's like there's a lot of young fellas who've come in this year for Galway and people were saying it'll take Galway two or three years to be a serious all Ireland winning team or you know potentially but you know they're ahead of themselves you know winning a Leinster was their objective really this year they've done that and they just carry that form with the young fellas through the league and people thought would they be able to do that in the championship they'd kill Kenny in the championship early on haven't beaten them in the league and they were
You know, and there are a few kind of, I won't say shaky moments in the championship round, Robin, you know, but they kind of give up leads against Wexford and Kildare and had to kind of, you know, dig in their heels and get back and they lost at home to Dublin. But those young players particularly and the likes of Rabbit have been incredible.
