John Cleary has said the rules governing the kickout mark need to be reviewed after Cork were thrice penalised for interfering with the Kerry ball-winner, infractions that cost them six second-half points at a time when the sides were level. Within the space of seven second-half minutes in the third quarter, referee Derek O’Mahoney brought the ball forward 50 metres when deeming Cork players to have intentionally halted the Kerry kickout winner.

A rare deluge of orange flags from the men in green and gold. A not-so-rare victory for the green and gold over the neighbours. Kerry remain in pole position for direct progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Cork have 70 minutes against Roscommon to rescue their summer. The third quarter was the busiest and arguably the defining quarter of this second championship instalment between Cork and Kerry. The third quarter was busy before it ever began.

Patience and Barry Dan O’Sullivan are long acquainted. Perseverance and Barry Dan are equally familiar bedfellows. But it is only in the past month where this pair of attributes, on display by the 29-year-old midfielder for almost a decade now, have finally begun to receive payment. Mike Quirke, to give him his credit, was first to advocate for Kerry’s current middle-third arrangement and how effective it could be.

Commentary surrounding the supposed poor health of Kilkenny hurling's underage system was “built on sand”, according to the county’s U20 manager Mark Dowling. Kilkenny will this Saturday attempt to win a second All-Ireland U20 title in four years, the 2022 success representing their sole national crown at either U20 or minor level over the past 11 years. It’s 2014 since an All-Ireland minor title last pitched up on Noreside.

Cork manager Pat Ryan has said Munster SHC final ticket prices are expensive, but is hopeful of providing Cork supporters with value for money after their shortchanging of fans at the Gaelic Grounds the weekend before last. Adult tickets for the Cork-Limerick decider on Saturday week are priced at €50 for the stand and €40 for the terrace, an increase of €5 on last year’s provincial decider between Limerick and Clare. Ryan singled out the price of terrace tickets as being on the steep side.

Cork’s performance against Kerry in Saturday's second round of Sam Maguire group fixtures will make or break their season, former forward Paul Kerrigan has said. The 2010 All-Ireland winner sees victory over the Kingdom as a stretch, but a performance that rebuilds confidence after the below-par Meath effort would set them up for the defining Roscommon fixture. Cork know two points off the Rossies will more than likely see them into the last 12 of the championship.

The past has lifted. The pessimism has lifted. Tipperary arenât so much through as they are out the far side of a most painful chapter. A week ago in Ennis, Liam Cahillâs emotion was uncaged at the final whistle. A season-surviving victory was met with trademark fist-pumping and one relieved leap into the summer. Yesterday at home stirred a different reaction. This season-extending victory was met with a long embrace between himself and Mikey Bevans.

Nowlan Park seems a strange place to start Liam Cahill’s reflection. But that is where the Tipp manager brings us. He brings us back to last year’s All-Ireland minor final. In June of last year, Tipp went down and turned Kilkenny over on their home patch to secure a second All-Ireland minor crown in three years. Cahill was a delighted Tipp spectator. He was also an embarrassed Tipp spectator.
