Saw Costello last year play for Whitehall and he was well off the pace at senior b level which was disappointing to see.
Footballers only seem to play hurling once the county footballers are done which doesnât help. Senior b championship was held up last year
Con is better IMO. Danny was even betterer but heâs lost to us now
The eternal lament of Dublin hurling. Fucking football
Not entirely true
Connolly played this evening sure
Seriously?
Great to see.
Is he still good ya
Costello was a great hurler as a minor. The best hurler in the 2012 minor final with John McGrath and Ronan Maher also on the pitch
Diarmuid Connolly plays this time of year always and at the tail end of the year if Vincents still in it
His family very involved in hurling in St Vincents
Mickey Whelan over the Vincents hurlers this year.
Ciaran Kilkenny plays with Castleknock. Conor McHugh is back with Na Fianna too. Paul Flynn did play with Fingallians but not anymore I think. Connollyâs prowess at hurling is overstated in my opinion. He is a decent club hurler but no more than that.
A good club hurler now when he plays but pretty evident as well he had what it took to make it as a hurler if he could have given it more time
only dips in and out now so he not going to dominate games
Iâd agree with that. But I still feel he made the right choice and was always a better footballer
I saw him hurl way back, he stood out, but he was also physically dominant.
I seriously doubt he would have been as much of a star. Obviously team mates and profile matter as well but his real strengths that set him apart in football are not as necessary in hurling or certainly the way a man of his size and ohysicality would have been used which is likely a ball winner at h-f who chips in with 2-4 points a game. His balance and movement is ideal (if obviously developed by as well) for Gaelic Football.
Would have been an awful shame had he choosen hurling.
Big win for OâTooleâs
Thatâs a big step up for Barrog though. Big shock with Craobh beating Na Fianna.
Boden beat Cuala as well
Where does that leave Cuala ??
Itâs a 4 team group. Top 2 qualify. They have faughs and Crumlin in the group to play yet. Youâd imagine they would account for both handily enough.
Cuala must have been cocky enough to let the game go ahead without Con OâCallaghan.
Sickened I didnt lump on Ballyboden.
Wouldnât be much between the teams. Cuala beat BBSE after extra time in the county quarter final last year.
Yeah I know Ballyboden are good enough on paper anyway.
Must have been some talent on show in that game that sadly wont tog out for Ger Cunningham.
Off the top of my head.
The two Schuttes, Cronin, Sean Tracey, Paul Ryan, Shane Durkin and Keaney.
All of them plenty to offer Dublin hurling.
Ger Cunningham, no clue.
