Didn’t see one yet. Going to be very difficult for them without McLaughlin and Kelly who were the athletic powerhouses in that side around the middle.

This was the Connacht final side that hammered the Rossies.

Subs used: Eoin Mannion (0-01) for Cooley (41 mins), Macdara Geraghty for Raftery (49 mins), Dara Whelan for McGrath (51 mins), Daniel Cox for Greene (51 mins), Brian Mannion for Culhane (58 mins).

Any notion on how our hurlers are shaping up?

Only report that I heard from the Cork challenge is that Whelan was cleaned by Colm Spillane.

Its all about the Wexford game really.

Oh great

Whaylan is a lad who seems to be either fit and interested, in which case he is borderline unmarkable, (as he was last year til he got injured), or anonymous.

6904

I suspect we will go in half cocked against an effectively professional Wexford set up and we will be up against it.
Tbh the championship is a cod this year if teams are having to field down lads because they were in a chip shop where a member of the public had sneezed earlier in the day.

Where is Anoin O Laoi?

Gleesons implosion last week was so bad he can hardly be tried again this season, but Bernie Power…

6909

Like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic

Haven’t seen a disappearing act like it since Dara Callearys career

Presume he’s injured. He’s not on their bench either. Michael Daly not among the subs also.

Result not important tomorrow but they need to show something substantial after last week.

if ye had him last Sunday ye might have been closer :joy:

6913

He was Spiddals leading scorer in the relegation match last week

6914

No medals handed out in October pal

6915

Daly was absolutely atrocious last week, I wouldn’t be surprised if his year is over.

6916

He was pretty poor alright but you could bin about 12 or 13 of them on last week’s display.

6917

Lots had a bad day but there was bigger issues with Daly last week than just things not going right. He is a lad Id really high hopes for but I’m not sure it’s ever going to happen for him now at senior level.

6918

Ah you can’t be consigning a lad to the bin after a team performance like that. I wouldn’t be panicking. Mayo were excellent and we had a bad day at the office. It happens.
