Kerry and Cork are taking part in the pre-match parade, can the Rebels pull off a huge shock?
Poor crowd here. Poorest Cork-Kerry Munster final attendances these last 40 years are 17,553 in 1983 and 22,784 in 2008. Both in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. #GAA

excellent Cornelius. true that.
if he wins it on the last shot though he’ll be as Irish as myself.
Unlike us punctual Irish!!!!
According to Skysports he’s now Irish again :)
Of course he’s Irish, Jason, Europe is losing!!!!
He was watching the All-Ireland Hurling Final!!!!
Surely in the scenario described he would have been an hour early with Chicago being an hour behind the eastern coast. Unless the earth spins in the opposite direction stateside….
If its 10am in Chicago it’s 11am on the east coast….
Mr crow u beat me to it! silly brits with their tardiness ;)
Cornellius and maverick. You are ignorant gits.
Are all Rorys slow today? Twas a joke. Declan summed it up by what i meant.
sense of humor by pass for Rory Conway !!
@Alan you must be from Leitrim I’m guessing and you support Liverpool and you have a dislike for snobby c@@nts who play golf… All combining to show why you hate 3 champions ie Kilkenny, Man United and McIlroy
lol, probably. would rather go and watch shels than man utd and spend friday night under lights on the driving range with a bunch of other people who kit themselves out from car boot sales and who couldnt hit a wall with a tractor
Man United.. Champions? I think you must have time warped in from 1999??
You don’t know Leitrim people, we laugh at your silly comments!!!!
for some unknown reason some sports people really annoy me. i cant figure out why. mcilory seems a real tosser. i couldnt care less what he does or doesnt achieve. same with alex feguson, wayne rooney, brian cody and others
If Europe wins he’s British , if they lose he’s Irish . Wait till you see.
“eastern seaboard time”? Lads, it’s called Eastern Standard Time in winter and Eastern Daylight Time in the summer…..
Ten minutes is the the time most golfers turn up for their tee time, no big deal.
