Can you lads take this out of the Limerick v W. Meath thread pleaseā¦ before you tho, is Guiney gonna be back for Cork?
retarded.
Galway are the biggest hurling team I have ever seen. fucking massive. I know KK are physical, but soon Galway surely have to make that count.
Indeed, lads. I mentioned that on the Wexford thread the other night. You see the way Kilkenny under Cody have systematically targeted and exploited defenders down through the years. Holdenās good enough so there was obviously no guarantee of success but it was his first championship start at full back, replacing an all time great. At least ask him a few questions ffs sake. Aside from tactical set up to begin with, the Wexford players themselves should be capable of better game intelligence themselves.

players these days have had the brains drilled out of them. Everything has to be spoon fed. Except with KK. Everyone else is copying them now and will catch up, but Iāve had an insight into KKās underage coaching recently and its fucking a million years ahead of everyone. Proof that its not about development squads, its about whats done with those squads and whats fed out to the club coaches. Waterford are probably the best placed after KK in this regard.
They put movement before skill, thatās vital, and then everything they do in every session has decision making elements. Its actually highly scientific and a lot of it comes from concepts like FUNdemental Movement in Oz & Canada. Every kid gets a chance to enjoy hurling as they improve your movement first. What turns a lot of kids off is their movement is poor so they struggle to pick up skills, then that erodes at confidence etc.
Its brilliant stuff. And Demspey is behind an awful lot of it.

what did guiney do?
The Clare GAA Games and Development Page had a piece in their coaching corner of Bookface last week by SeƔn Chaplin on Small Sided Games if someone who has access wants to fire it up perhaps.
What good will it to Teege here??
ā¦didnāt you say that? Or you hinted at it heavily.
Very interesting stuff @caoimhaoin and @myboyblue.
I guess I donāt have a right to be vocal as I donāt contribute to coaching in any way whatsoever. But I was pretty dumbfounded watching our minor hurlers against Laois a couple of months ago.
Playing against a first half gale, they set up 6-2-6 and hurled away as normal even though our puck outs were barely going beyond our own '45. I queried on the Wexford GAA thread at the time as to whether we even coach or train for game scenarios like that. Have small sided games, where one team might have more players even, developing a system to play against conditions like that, more men behind the ball, work it upfield cohesively with support play and runners (rather than lorrying it up in the air and watching the wind take it back towards you) etc etc.
Last year our seniors were wayward in their finishing but the creation of space, general movement and support play was very good for the most part. I thought it might be signalling a sea change in how Wexford teams go about things but our seniors showed no semblance of that against Kilkenny and the minors were very disappointing. Check out the u21 hurling thread for the outrageous goal we scored last night though - movement, delivery, touch all quality. There may be hope for us yet.
I said I would be very surprised if Moylan had left.
OāBrien didnāt make the U-21 team against Waterford Kev. I assume his older brother is Patrick OāBrien who played U-21 a few years back.
Anyway all three were added on the basis of weekend performances.
You also hinted that 1/2 were leaving or on the verge of leaving.
sounds like a county not in unison? All management set ups working off different play sheets and approaches. Very same as Cork.
For that reason alone, and for organisational qualities and knowing minor/u-21 set ups, Denis Ring could sort out a lot of the issues in Cork if he got the job after JBM. His coaching has been questioned, but his management canāt be and he now is getting good coaches around him.
Wonāt play again. Not leaving.
a fairly narrow view alright, and the fact that he is from Landers club makes it look a bit sus alright.
You would have to wonder have they gone to see players in other parts of Cork.
BTW, I heard 3 of the minors were extremely impressive for Imokilly the other night. Thatās very encouraging that they are up to that standard and dominating. Pity Dalton is a keeper, apparently heās good and confident enough to play Senior now and his puck outs are supposed to be unbelievable. But its outfield players we need really.
Liimerick will feel at home in westmeath 
LOL. Wexford donāt do movement or thinking. Put the cones down there and fuckin use them.
We have nothing to do with limerick bar helping ye manage limerick teams UL, LIT CLUBS, THE LIMERICK TEAM
