Molloy is a savage player. He was corner forward for the Intermediates, he caused F/C awful bother below at the Bog, getting at least 4 from play

Would there have been many mushes on that u21 team last night ??
No idea tbh.

I would say the vast bulk were C/K

2 I think. Michael Sheahan who was on the Limerick minors, and Andrew White who is centre-back for the Mushesâ junior team.
Could have been more but I wouldnât know them, there was at least 10 Croagh names I recognised.
Iâve told its similar at various teams underage. Rathkeale contributing very few numbers.
Whoâll win the junior A lads? Complete toss up for me. I wouldnât have picked either side in my top 4 or 5 at the start of the year. Itâs more competitive than the Tyrone senior football

Caherline by 4 points id say.
Caherline are the better âhurlingâ side anyway. Kierans know their limitations and are very good at playing to their strengths. If they get a grip around the middle and start getting direct ball into Johnny McCarthy and Molyneaux inside they could cause Caherline problems.
Caherline for me. I think theyâll win handy enough actually, by about 6.

Caherline will win
Caherline for me too.
Kieranâs favourites with the bookies, but Caherline look very decent from what Iâve seen. Wixted, Brennan, yer man Curley, Jack Carroll; they have fellas who can score.
Kieranâs have a lot of pace though and some wise old heads. Did Molyneaux hit 7 or 8 from play in the semi-final? He must be some age now.
Saw Caherline against Pats. They were second best for 3/4âs of the match against a side heavily dependent on Hego and Baby Hego. Showed good spirit to keep going when things looked to be going against them. Curley got them over the line eventually.
Iâll go with a draw, in keeping with the Box Office nature of the Junior A championship.

Sound! Iâve been working nights so didnt get to attend, but hope to go to our game with the Well on Tuesday evening.
@Aristotle has got the gist of the team, the only omission is Andrew White - he doesnât play the small ball game. There were 12 C/K and 3 Rathkeale lads in the starting 15. Four Rathkeale lads on the panel - three of them are the Sheahan brothers. So the team really is mostly Croagh. 6 of the team started the Intermediate County Final.
- Cian Sheehy Croagh
- Niall Sheahan Rathkeale
- Barry Lenihan Croagh
- Conor Lenihan Croagh
- Josh OâConnor Croagh
- Adam Shanagher Croagh
- Seamie Lenihan Croagh
- James Lanigan Croagh
- Paudie Mulcaire Rathkeale
- Andrew Meade Croagh
- Jack Lenihan Croagh
- Pat Lenihan Croagh
- Michael Sheahan Rathkeale
- Jack Shiels Croagh
- Cian OâCarroll Croagh
3 subs - Jamie Burke and Kevin Dee (both Croagh) and Mark Sheahan (Rathkeale)
Itâs gas, if you saw where the Sheahan brothers live, about a mile from Ballingarry village, about 6 from Rathkeale, yet theyâre in Rathkeale parish in the townland of Fort William. Irish parish boundaries never cease to fascinate.

What level would Junior A be in Limerick? 4th tier? The two Hegoâs must do untold at that level.
0-5 to 0-4 at the water break to Caherline.
Caherline done most of the hurling so far but Kieranâs dogged & staying in touch with frees. Johnny Mac & Molyneaux isolated inside, must be as old an inside forward line around.
Brennan destroying them in the air as usual.

Yeah, 4th.
Senior.
Premier intermediate.
Intermediate.
Junior A.
Even having an established county player at intermediate or junior level is like having 3 players. Just too fast, strong and skilful.
Pats lost the junior semi final by a goal to Caherline. Think Pats scored around 0-14 and the two boys got around 0-12 of that. Baby Hego with four or five from play and big brother with another or two from centre back.

Looks small enough tbh
Paudie Mac is destroying Curley so far, unbelievable performance.
