Dublin Short of Options

Who are the Dubs?

Cork 0-21
Dublin 2-14
I don't think we learned much about Dublin and Cork that we didn't already know on Sunday. We knew Dublin could more than hold their own against the defending All-Ireland Champions and that they are a real contender to lift Sam in September. We knew Cork was more experienced and tough as nails in midfield. I don't think we knew just how badly the Dublin attack would breakdown with Bernard Brogan on the sideline. That's exactly what happened when Cork returned from an 8-point deficit to win the National League Final for the second year in a row. Let's take a look at a few issues in the match...

All-Ireland Final 2010: Cork v Down

Another fantastic summer is coming to a close. There were some great matches this summer. The semi-finals were both great but earlier rounds were exciting as well. There was the Leinster Final controversy, Down's destruction of Kerry, and total unpredictability in Connaught.

It was a year for underdogs as all of the giants, most notably Kerry and Tyrone, were cut down by deserving teams. There is still one giant left though and I think Down have what it takes to slay Cork and make this truly the Year of the Underdog.
