MichaelCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, it wasn't four and a half or five, John, I'd say it was 11 or 12 steps there, but the clock is running down, 30 seconds, and even if Carrick do get a goal here, they may not have a chance for a second.
JohnHOST
30 seconds remaining, 170 to 15 points, Carrick trying to get the ball from the puck out, shot coming in from James Mulcahy, is right and wide, and they look back on those shots in the second half, and the disappointment of their... shooting success and their ratio of success has just not been good enough in the second half into that Blackrock goal.
MichaelCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, and James Mulcahy there will be disappointed with five points down.
MichaelCORRESPONDENT
They needed a goal, really, and they needed to lob it into the square.
Rory BurkeHOST
They were the team of the championship in my opinion.
Rory BurkeHOST
The way they... took a number of big scalps there over the course of the championship including the likes of Blackrock and Sarsfields before eventually succumbing to eventual finalists there St Finbar's still in possession here with Kent Turk they're about 55 metres from goal central position there with Brian O'Sullivan slowing it down here a touch towards Paul Walsh kick pass here towards the sideline here now with Shannon Doerr, Larkon McLaughlin the 2013 finalist there with Cork against Clare, now it's back here with Liam O'Keefe, long curling ball out low towards Paul Walsh here in the left half forward position goes lateral towards the centre here now it's the outlet there, the quarterback, this is Brian O'Sullivan waits for the run there from Grantis but he didn't use him, Grantis still open there now outside him but he goes with Cush Nabrog out towards Paul Walsh again Erog happy to defend here now from the edge of the arc they are playing with a slight breeze going down towards the Black Rock side as Cantor again continuing to play in towards the sunshine here and towards the city end Liam O'Keefe back towards Tommy Walsh in the left half forward position 55 odds from goal here back with Grantis again not really threatening the goal here they still have Alan Walsh who has been a big figure in this game But he's played most of the game here at the edge of the square.
Rory BurkeHOST
Now with Brian O'Sullivan.
Rory BurkeHOST
Just throws a little shimmy there.
Barry O'MahonyPANELIST
And look, yesterday, there was a great crowd down there and the weather as well helped.
Barry O'MahonyPANELIST
It was, you know, smashing, you know, considering the weather we've had previously maybe for country finals, you know, most notably in 22, obviously, when the Bowers beat the Rockies and inside in the back when it was a downpour really
Denis HurleyHOST
and the fact that the Glen bounced back so well after relegation it just shows that no one likes to go down but it can be the kind of the jewel that you need it need not be fatal obviously it's no barrel of laughs and you can end up in a downward spiral if you don't halt it but it is what you make of it I suppose is the bottom line
Barry O'MahonyPANELIST
Yeah, like we've seen before, especially in the old structure, relegation, you know, could have been a hammer blow.
Linda McCarthyCORRESPONDENT
And I think it's our first time winning the county in the new stadium as well.
Linda McCarthyCORRESPONDENT
Having lost a couple, one in COVID to Blackrock and to Midland a few years ago.
Linda McCarthyCORRESPONDENT
But an outstanding second half performance, to be fair.
Adam LynchGUEST
Um, f-I suppose probably it was a bit of luck as well.
Adam LynchGUEST
Like, do you know, like we were, we were a bit unlucky against Blackrock obviously.
Adam LynchGUEST
I know they went down to 14, and we were probably well ahead at that stage, five or six points, and then came back into it.
Adam LynchGUEST
It's, it's probably a credit to Blackrock really.
Adam LynchGUEST
Um, but I suppose what changed for the Canturk game is that it was a knockout game.
Adam LynchGUEST
We knew we lost, we were out.
Brian O'SullivanGUEST
Yeah, we knew coming into the game that Blackrock were the top class side.
Brian O'SullivanGUEST
We played them in the league earlier in the year, played them in the semi-final last year.
Brian O'SullivanGUEST
So we knew we were under no illusions that there was going to be a battle coming in.
Rory BurkeHOST
It was a good, hard, tough, physical game.
Rory BurkeHOST
I suppose Blackrock kept Ritchie in the opening maybe 10, 15 minutes, but Sorkin McCartan, player of the match, rose to the challenge and she reeled off five unanswered points.
Rory BurkeHOST
I think three of them were frees, two from play, but she really was the catalyst for you to really get firing.
Stephanie PunchGUEST
Absolutely.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I remember Brian Cody coming with the Cup in 1982.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Liam McCarthy, I'm sorry for the Blackrock crowd for bringing that memory back.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Joe Hennessy, who was my favourite hurler.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They, you know, brilliant.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And even Pat Henderson and Johnston, their neighbours.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You can't beat that.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it's brilliant to have members of the Blackrock team up here.
PJ KennySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Frank Murphy, who's probably coming back home, half Kilkenny man.
