He was a reasonable enough stick man in fairness but not in the league of the likes Tony Sullivan, Joe Deane, Pat Horgan etc. but he got goals, had speed in early days anyway when he was in the half forward line, anticipation was another knack as you say
not in the discussion for best cork hurler ever but he just seemed to be the adored one for various reasons. Looked a better footballer from the footage I have seen
have JBM and John Doyle the record for munster senior hurling championship medals?
He could have been lost to football forever only for Kiely.
He was maligned as a young lad by management and selectors and was intent on not playing again. He has gone from strength to strength. I can assure you he will tell you himself his brother is twice the hurler but he will need time also. Had a poor year at minor but is way better than shown. He should be in the half forwards to start with.
I’m on hols in Spain never thought I’d see the day Cregan was getting on the hype train but fookit don’t mind next year or the year after @Julio_Geordio said the time is now
Lads I am sitting here in Cambrils on a fooking high since Sunday thinking this could be it this year. Ennis was deflating but these lads have gone toe to toe with every team this year.
Limerick have it all to do yet, a semifinal against Cork will be the acid test. Knock out hurling is a different animal to a round robin game. Let’s be honest, Kilkenny were knackered after two grueling games against Galway and had lost Walter who is the one forward who could have done serious damage against the Limerick full back line.
That’s not to take away from what was an impressive 70+ min performance by Limerick, especially after the Hogan goal. It was reminiscent of the way Galway reacted after shipping three fluke goals the prior week. But it also exposes how relatively poor this Kilkenny team are, out again before the semis.
Should be a classic clash of styles game, Limerick have to take their goal chances as you can be sure Cork will.
