"That level of performance is not something you'd expect from that Cork team from what we witnessed all year.
"So whether it was the pressure of the All-Ireland final or what, they were a shell of themselves."
Donal Óg tried to get back to his reasoning of the scalping saying: "I don't think it was the pressure like we said the points it was 2/15."

But the Portroe man wasn't finished making his point asking the former Cork goalkeeper: "Can you remember a performance that was as bad over a 35 minute period over the last two years?"
Donal Óg answered no to the question adding: "Cork have been consistent over the last few years, they've won the league, they've won the Munster Championship.

"We all want Dublin to be back, I don't want to take anything from them. But it was like as if everyone's views were obscured.

Skipper Gaby Lewis stars with the bat again as Ireland wrap up T20 series against Zimbabwe
Second T20 international: Ireland 176-4 (20 ovs) (G Lewis 87, O Prendergast 52; T Makusha 2-30), Zimbabwe 111 (20 ovs) (K Ndhlovu 46; C Murray 3-17, L Paul 2-9, O Prendergast 2-17). Ireland won by 65 runs and win series 2-0 Skipper Gaby Lewis kept up her brilliant form with the bat as she hit 87 from 50 balls to secure a convincing 65-run victory and a T20 series win over Zimbabwe at Sydney Parade on Tuesday. Zimbabwe won the toss and put the home side into bat, and they got the early breakthrough when Tendai Makusha trapped Amy Hunter lbw for one in the second over. From 14 for one, however, Lewis came together with Orla Prendergast and the pair formed a 131-run partnership which occupied 14 of the 20 overs. READ MORE Lewis – who also top-scored with 67 in Sunday's series opener – was caught by Beloved Biza off Makusha for 87 as she tried to accelerate to three figures. Prendergast made 52 before being bowled by Kelis Ndhlovu as Ireland finished on 176 for four. Ireland took wickets at regular intervals to stop Zimbabwe from making a mark on the run chase but while Ndhlovu was at the crease, the tourists were in the contest as she top-scored with 46. But once the opener fell victim to Prendergast, Zimbabwe started to lose wickets at speed – Cara Murray claiming three for 17, Prendergast two for 17 and Leah Paul two for nine to ensure Zimbabwe fell a long way short of their target. The series concludes at the same venue on Wednesday, with a pair of one-day internationals to follow next week in Belfast.

Gavin Devlin returns to Louth set-up as manager
Gavin Devlin has been appointed as the new Louth manager on a three-year term, replacing Ger Brennan. Louth GAA confirmed the news this evening, adding that Peter Dooley will be installed as assistant manager, having served as a coach during Brennan's term, which yielded an emotional Leinster title victory this season. Devlin, centre-back on Tyrone's 2003 All-Ireland winning team, was previously head coach in Louth during Mickey Harte's managerial reign between 2020 and 2023. The Ardboe clubman has been a long-time lieutenant of his former manager Harte, having been a coach and selector with Tyrone in the 2010s, before the successful stint in Louth and the ill-fated spell in Derry. After the pair left Derry following the 2024 season, they went their separate ways, with Devlin taking on a role of underage football development co-ordinator in Louth this year. Devlin's predecessor Brennan departed the role earlier this month after a historic second season in charge, in which Louth claimed a first Leinster title in 68 years, subsequently losing at the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final stage to Donegal.
