It was a big weekend of championship action. Cork’s performance in defeat against Mayo was a big talking point...

Being a Mayo fan is not good for your health! Stress levels! Well done Mayo! What a game! You can’t say ye don’t entertain! #corkvmayo

Ref played over a minute more at end of 1st half in which Mayo got a score yet plays 30 seconds less at end of ET??? #GAA #CORKvMAYO

Jim Crowley @Greatbleddyman

Glaring issues for all to see but for tonight we called for pride and fight and we got that #corkvmayo

Today’s performance has layer a good foundation for the new manager #corkvmayo #GAA #rebels

Al Flats @alflats11

How do they keep coming back? There has never been a team to face so much adversity and keep coming back. #incredible #MayoGAA #CorkvMayo

Credit where it’s due to Cork players today - a gutsy, committed performance. Beaten but not for lack of effort. No shame there! #CORKvMAYO

In hurling meanwhile the sweeper debate continued to rage...

Colm Crowley @mrcolmcrowley

The sweeper system sucks the potential joy out of hurling.

Michael Foley @MickFoley76

Hurling has plenty room for lots of styles, and equal room for criticism of styles too. Today was a hard, boring watch. Michael Duignan

@DuignanMichael

Sweepers should be outlawed! Not the game I love. Coach players to tackle & to use their heads instead of using extra backs to compensate!

DJ Walsh @dj_breathnach

Cant see team playing sweeper or short passing going all the way. Hurling too instinctive. Neither would beat Tipp or Galway #wexvwat #GAA

Mike McCarthy @MikeMcCarthy67

If it’s not broken don’t fix it ... Hurling like, this sweeper thing is fair boring #WatvWex
