Negative. I’ll respond with a like for the correct answer from here on in
Looking at the subs I don’t think Brendan O’Connor ever played u21 so it’s more likely to be a minor match.
2010 minor?

Semi-final team vs Clare. Clare have five of their respective panel still on the go, which is fair going
What happened Jamie Shanahan? Injuries?
He really drifted away. He was a brilliant underage player.

Back (and maybe hip) issues, couldn’t take the IC training load for a finish
A real shame, he was excellent.
Ballyhale Shamrocks will be down at least four first teamers – and probably five of them – for the 2023 Senior Championship. So it goes. There are, as you implied, a lot of our lads in America at the minute. So it goes. Everyone understands why young people want to travel at the moment.
I would be surprised if Ballyhale Shamrocks won this year. But someone will have to beat them. O’Loughlin Gaels are probably a value bet at 9/1. Brian Hogan is an excellent appointment as their manager.

Still going for the Bridge, and a key man

He is working for the bank and is a sound sort for a Clare man it has to be said.

I think we got 7 intercounty hurlers (6 in Championship) & an intercounty footballer from those 24 players.
Which is pretty good considering it wouldn’t have been considered our strongest crop. And that doesn’t include Adrian Breen & Aaron Costello who are both that age group and have senior All Ireland medals now. David Reidy would have been U-17 at that point too, same age as Dowling, Dan, Mike Fitz.
Most of them are still playing at some grade; I don’t remember hearing much of Sean Kelly after that though. Same with the two Ahane lads on the bench, and Keogh from Na Piarsaigh.
And a Monaghan/Louth legend in there also

12 championship hurlers from the Clare 24 I’d say
Might be better, for medium term player development, if we were.
Is Ronan Corcoran gone too? Thought he was on KK panel?
See private message.

That was a particularly strong Clare team though, maybe the 2011 minors were slightly stronger but that was still a serious crop.
Did Clare win a Munster minor that year?
Ya and that’s their last Munster Minor medal!

Kinnerk invovled with them that time
We won this year, won in 2011 also
