A gentleman Leonard is
Len is sound manā¦he spent many a day hiding from Joe Player in Mary I and having to listen to Joe going on about Davy and Clare.
Len spent most of his time hiding alright but not sure if it was from Joe, the lads have the cushier number in Limerick,
Heās going through a tough time, the poor fella. You couldnāt meet a nicer man.
Leonard was unnaturally fit, with fuck all training. I was told that back in the 80s there was some TV show, kind of like the fittest family thing and Leonard got to the final where he was up against some army lad. They were sharing a room the night before and the army lad was preparing himself doing push-ups and stretching whereas Leonard fucked off and had six pints. Leonard bate the shit out of him the following day.

Iād believe itā¦
The new potatoes will do that to you this time of the year. Mind yourself but who am I to be advising a renowned good food expert.
Not this year Boxty. Very poor yield this year
Sometimes oulā wet boggy fields come in useful. This year being one.
Aristotle predictions- Round 3.
It was a great year with the county, but itās good to get back into club action; itās been a long summer just arsing around really, the matches are going to come thick & fast now and whoever assimilates quickest will succeed. I suppose it does depend how hard certain big players were celebrating too, itād be hard to blame them if their eye wasnāt completely on the ball.
In Senior A, you have a local derby in the Well vs Ballybrown as well as the clash of the two favourites- NaP & Kilmallock. Ballybrown have no county players, and the Well have 3 but itās still hard to see the Well not winning. NaP & Kilmallock should be a cracker, both looked very impressive in the first two rounds. I suppose youād have to go with NaP but they were without more players for a longer period, so theyāll need to bed them back in. Doon should beat Adare.
Seen both Liberties & Monaleen recently, impressed with both. I reckon South Liberties just have that little bit more firepower, especiallyy with Nash back in there. Youād have to fancy Murroe/Boher against Cappamore although they have struggled in the summer months, youād imagine they should have everyone back. Hard to see Ahane not beating Knockainey also.
In Premier, weāre playing Mungret which should be a good one. Garryspillane face Bruff, who are obviously without Paul Browne now, a big player for them. I still reckon Bruff might just edge this, although it should be very close. By all accounts, Bruree are back in form and now flying it but again, Feohanagh have a lot more firepower, although will need Flanagan firing on all cylinders. Blackrock vs Pallasgreen will be a close one, I think Pallasgreen might just edge it.
I somehow missed that Hospital/Herbertstown vs Knockaderry was on last weekend, finished a draw which puts real pressure on Drom/Broadford who are playing Croom. Croom should be winning that really. Dromin/Athlacca should beat St. Pats too; theyāre by far the strongest team in that group.
Glenroe won the Judes 7s, beating Blackrock in the final. No real indicator for proper hurling but they got a good win over Effin in the last round and now play the other side to have won both games- Granagh/Ballingarry. Again, youād expect it to be tight but I think G/B might just sneak it. Effin should bounce back and beat Claughaun/Old Christians. Newcastlewest vs Na Piarsaigh are both winless; I think NCW might just have enough to grind out a win.
SHC- Patrickswell, Murroe/Boher, Ahane, South Liberties, Doon, Na Piarsaigh
PIHC- Pallasgreen, Bruff, Feohanagh
IHC- Croom, Dromin/Athlacca, Newcastlewest, Granagh/Ballingarry, Effin

Adare will beat doon
Incredible scenes
Eoghan Mc, peter Casey and Robbie Henley are probably three lads that will obviously be in contention for the starting team next year. Iād hope at least one of colin Ryan, barry nash, Ronan lynch and barry Murphy can also push on now too. Then thereās wildcards like AlTC, Joy, jack o Grady, brian ryan, Ronan lynch and maybe somebody like Thomas grimes too. Grimes is one like a lot in an area we are not blessed in.
Who is Robbie Hanley going to push out of the starting team? He has a lot to prove, but fair enough bring him in and look at him.
Iād hope like last year the lads that get in at the start will hold onto their jersey so long as they play well. Henley is a very serious operator.
Flanagans brother is a fella that could come into it for the full back line. I heard he was wanted this year but couldnāt commit back in December with college work.
Sean? Heās a very good hurler alright. I was seriously impressed with him a few times. Probably not much more than 23 or 24.

Heād be 23 at most. Was in my year in school
we will definitely need cover in the full back line next year. Richie, Hickey and Condon are all the wrong side of 30 now.
Dan Joy Iād say will be brought in.
Whatever happened a lad called Irwin from Bruff. I had huge hopes for him a few years back but he seemed to go of the IC scene altogether
