Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Hegarty would be as well off staying with football, for all his athleticism and ability in the air he is far too slow in his hurling and his swing is far too wide and all the training in the world wouldn’t bridge the gap needs at senior inter county level. The other two lads in the half back line look to have plenty of potential though

@Big_Dan_Campbell

You can but you have to be realistic as to how much improvement you can make. His swing is terrible and it is very hard to rectify something like that in a lad who is 21 years of age. To go from the level he is currently at to being able to senior championship hurling would be a huge leap, I doubt you would find many examples of lads who have made similar improvements as Hegarty has. He is more than raw, he has serious technical limitations that a decent club side would exploit let alone I/C sides

@Julio_Geordio

I think you are wrong on this @Big_Dan_Campbell. I expect him to have a decent inter county career.

He is a young chap playing at a low level all his life, where he was no doubt lording it. Without running down the St. Pats lads I doubt he got the best coaching coming up. He has also been focused mainly on football.

The things he has you can’t coach, strength, height, positional sense, and an ability to win ball in the air.

Brian Begley completely transformed himself as a hurler much later in his career after giving up the football.
