Weather surely a factor in keeping the handicap down
Youâd also wonder what the likes of Conor Cahalane, Eoin Roche and Robbie Cotter are doing on the panel if they donât start in games like this.
Wrong thread, perhaps the horse racing one would be better suited for that ape.
Looking at the panel for tomorrow and the few lads injured and the lads playing Fitz, the training panel must be huge.
U-20 hurlers in a recent match, from PROC:
Dan o connell,
David o leary, killian o Callaghan, ??
Ben walsh, Cian Denis o Connor, ??
Dan murnane, ??
Barry walsh, Zak biggane, Timmy wilks
Mark o brien, Barry o Flynn, Johnny murphy
Some of the subs that came on
Ross o Sullivan
Adam o sullivan
Rory higgins
Liam kelleher
Oisin walsh GK played the second half
Literally picked the 6 biggest lads they could find in the forwards.
Mark OâBrien certainly isnât big but that forward line did surprise me.
The two OâSullivans will start come championsip, youâd imagine.
Not sure what Wilk is doing in the forwards. The minor management did the same with him in 2022.
Am I thinking of the wrong OâBrien? The half forward from last yearâs Minors?
Where is the full back from?
Wilk should be half back.
What is this about Pat Ryan pulling a load of the Fitzgibbon hurlers that are on the Cork hurling panel so they canât play in the last group game this week?
Never heard
But a guy connected to the Douglas GAA told me earlier that heâs definitely including them
In the panel
Be surprised tbh if heâd pull that stroke
all the talk re financial issues in Cork GAA, I wonder had they the price of a bit of an end of year team holiday for the hurlers?
Usually the beaten all ireland finalists go on some bit of a jolly
They were in Miami
Croke Park contributes a decent share towards both finalistâs holidays, they top it up themselves
Sure when you live in Cork itâs like being on a holiday every day.
Miami no vice
Tis to be fair
Not like us Corkonuans to brag or be boastful about paradise but sure now n then we slip up.
Cunningham putting in some shift for UCC here.
