Clean break thankfully, should be fine 6-8 months recovery

Mungret win the west junior b football and D/A the West Senior.
Back for 6 in a row
Downes at 7, Daithi back in the team at 12. Two big additions from earlier (and ye won all those matches too).
Not a bad effort from the Well to even get to the final considering all the players theyāre missing.

Downes looked like he drew inspiration from Kyle Hayes first half last week. Plucked a few great balls, a few good bursts forward and a point. 7 probably suits him better than the centre back experiment last year.

The West will end up running the county.
That Mungret junior b team was basically their 21s. Nice team. Mungret will be hard stopped once they are rolling
Thought he was lost at centre back. 7 could work alright
Poor fucker has had no luck. An awful loss. Not found the balance to the forward line without him

I didnāt see the match tonight but could definitely see how 7 would suit him a lot better than 6. 6 is a tough position to play, especially for a fella whose natural instinct is to run with the ball. It takes time to learn where to be at 6 and I wouldnāt have said heās a natural playmaker or pure striker of the ball to be playing that role. Heās strong in the air though and unbelievably at carrying the ball, 7 could really suit them.
They might need him up front though with Casey & Breen injured. Probably lookin at Boylan, Henn, Dempsey x2, Downes + 1 more (Lynch or Carey maybe) as their front 6 in Championship. If Downes was at 7, theyād definitely be down a fair bit of experience in attack.

Iād say you are right, there is no shortage there either from 5 to 9.
He had been anyways but came on the last day.
There could be some changes before throw in

Iād say thereās never been a more guaranteed cert for a newly promoted Senior side to make the knockout rounds than Mungret this year.
Mungret are coming like a train. With demographics they will dominate for years

Didnāt Adare win the county in their first year back up?
And we made the knockouts in our first year in 2022, thereās definitely a gap between the very top teams and the rest so if you have a favourable draw, itās more than possible with a bit of momentum.
Kieranās in the last round could be the crucial fixture, you could see a situation where both sides are going into it with a chance to qualify.
Same format isnāt it? They have to make top 4. They wonāt.
Edit: This is football talk?
I presumed he was talking about football.

just edited my comment. 
They have a chance in hurling but it will remain tough to even avoid going back down to the B group.
