Aylward would want you cop himself on. He must have something big over Lyng!!
Looking at it, this isn’t going to be the team to start. I’d have Wally on, Buckley and Richie starting too. Fuck it, go hard or go home
Walter and Buckley are starting according to a knowledgeable Kilkenny man I was talking to today, who’s rarely wrong on such matters.

Cody doesn’t do dummy teams - dummy teams are for counties with no hurling tradition
Cody does dummy teams all the time ffs. He did a dummy dummy team in the AI Q/F last year.
He’s been doing them a bit last few years. There was no need for dummy teams when he had the greatest team of all time at his disposal. Cody is just mucking around now with the rest of the also rans.
I think Ray was hopping ball lads

So long as they field someone who can pass the ball to TJ they should be fine anyway.

Will you ask him to have a look again and see if he can find a corner back

Unrale.
Mole in the camp.
A grandnephew.
Grandson of Jim RIP, someone who hurled with Knocktopher during 1960s, and son of Niall. He is younger than me but still not someone whom I remember hurling, even in school.
Nephew of Brendan Mason, an excellent hurler who was on 1990 Club AI team at corner forward.
There is family tradition of good goalkeeping. Another granduncle, Bobby RIP, kept goal for Knocktopher when they won the 1965 Junior County Final.

Was unfortunately foiled from being there.
Who was the full back on that Great Ballyhale team ? Liam Dalton was it?
Liam Dalton, exactly.
Son of Billy Dalton, a Carrickshock clubman who hurled against Cork in the draw and the first replay of the famous three match sequence that was the 1931 Senior Final. Won a Celtic Cross as a sub in 1932.
Liam lives down in Slieverue, I think, and did not really take part in the club after retirement in the mid 1980s. Opinion at home always said Liam was unusually brilliant at 17/18 but gave his prime years hurling in England. He would have been 30 or so in 1978, when the first Senior title was won, and did not appear, because away, on 1973’s champion Junior team or 1974’s champion Intermediate team.
You probably also remember Wattie Phelan, mostly a corner back in that era. His father, Jack Phelan, likewise hurled with Carrickshock and won an AI (as a sub) in 1935.
