Shane Stapleton has taken over as Manager of Whitehall Colmcille Hurlers. We will see how much he actually knows now though fair play to him for giving it a go.

They won Senior B last year but Iād say staying up in both championship and league will be the height of their ambitions. When they have all their county players they would be competitive at Senior A. O Donnell and Dara Grey from the hurlers and Cormac Costello and Lee Gannon from the footballers

Kilmacud* scored 1-40 against them in a league game last year.

makes sense now ! cute out
Theyāve a big lad in Full forward. Ryan I think? Lovely hands . A real throw back. Not your stereotypical Dublin hurler.
Itās a strange station with that Stapleton chap.
As lads from around the wider GAA hurling circle would generally tell you Borrisoleigh stock are very sound folk.
He is very much not the norm as regards the exports from that club.

Who was over them winning the B?
Odd move taking on Shane from an experience perspective
A local lad who stepped down. A lot of clubs in Dublin struggling for managers. Lucan and Brigids both senior A still have no one. Vincents had no one until last week when Pat Gilroy stepped up.
Cathal Ryan Iād say. Hands of silk, arse like a bag of cement.

Whatās the money like? I heard Baker was on big money at Crokes, same with the Cuala boys. And years ago John Thompson got 10k from a south side club. He got them relegated

Nice little earner for Shane āSaintā when heās otherwise relying on the podcast to put bread on the table.
Guarantee that podcast will fizzle out the next year or two. Really isnāt gaining any traction in regard to anything unique - and heās taking a stupid punt with those ācoaching workshopsā bollox stuff now
Lee Gannon looked a fine hurler at underage with Dublin.

Yeah, heās been a loss. He was probably the pick of the u20 team that reached the AIF in 2020
