Dionâs father Aengus Fanning was an Austin Stacks clubman who played minor championship football for Kerry. He might have featured in a few league matches for the Kerry seniors as well.
He mustâve been underwhelmed with the son who went completely down the nerdy Paddy Footix route. Did Dion play much GAA at all? Heâs chairman of Dalkey United I believe but rarely if ever mentions Cuala.
He mentioned them on a recent podcast where he said Dalkey United had a very good relationship with Cuala.
4 players have already done aclâs in the kilkenny senior championship. Tommy Walsh and Harry shine, kilkenny panelists among them. Thatâs after 4 weeks in a row of the condensed season
Was Harry Shineâs injury not before club championship?
Grand specific number
Sounds like they need more laps
âPlayed a bitta minorâ
Who are the four?
Harry Shine did his in training between the Leinster final and AI semi.
Very sad to hear this.
The injuries in Waterford are piling up too.
Jake Morris and Ronan Maher are playing through injury at the minute and who knows at what cost long term.
We are hurtling towards professionalism where County players wonât be playing any club. Try explaining it to the split season zealots though ![]()
Young lads arenât as fit as us
Most likely.
I see something like having two club championships in the future.
Inter county season and club season running from April to September.
You could have a second straight knock out club championship with inter county players involved and even allow lads who are based say in Dublin come back and play with their home clubs.
Lads need to be thinning more turnips - thatâll solve the injuries
FFS Waterford players donât really play IC, theyâve no excuse
The condition of pitches is a big talking point in Waterford too. Walsh Park and Fraher Field got hardly any use in May, June and most of July. Both getting used around the clock now for last month to play off the county championship blitzes, with inevitable deterioration in surfaces and accumulation of injuries.
That could be class in some ways
Youâre right it was
Tommy Walsh, David fogarty, oâloughlin wing back and Tom Kenny dicksboro. Shine did his before the all ireland semi final.
Do you ever shut de f up?
