The auld bouy would have made and/or mended their hurls at some stage over the years

Are you even trying?

Johnny McCaffrey always struck me as a fairly weak link on that decent Dublin team

Good shouts in midfield. Two that I strongly considered

I found three out of the list that have been to the house and spoke hurling with the father along with adding to my inheritance. Thatā€™s trying mate

McCaffery is a gentleman and a great leader

Joe Quaid
Cha Fitz - Noel Morris

Joe Quaid, Derek Lyng, Mike Houlihan.

Very poor striker of the ball.

Seamus Shinners. Lock the thread

The father would have played some club hurling with him

I watched the 2005 AIQF last night. David Tierney and Richie Murray was a decent combo.

Murray was talented (but infuriating hurler) capable of the sublime. The throw-in against KK in 2001 was fantastic, and Noel Lane had clearly gotten inside his head.

You could say that about so many Galway lads from about 99-2016

Donā€™t. Just donā€™t.

Wasnā€™t Murray only 19 or so in 2001

He was. When he flattened Brian McEvoy before the throw-in, you just knew Galway had decided to turn up.

Edit: Cloonan, the fucker. He cost us a proper shot at an AI in 2005. Niall Healy was like a lamb to the slaughter against DOS.
