Were Pats holding back last week for this ? That was some trimming.

3454

No idea pal

3455

They were down three or four I think, fuckers must be exhausted as well

Fair enough - Just looking beyond Catherines and just wondering how strong Ardmore are cc @anon70480284 @Fagan_ODowd

Big strong winter hurling team. The two Prendergasts still play and SĂŠamus Keating is knocking around the fringes of the Senior panel.

Pats had no interest in the Munster competition, were missing a few. I don’t think they’d have won even if they were going flat out and had everyone though.

I think they’ll win this weekend though.

The two Gartland brothers are meant to be useful also and the Hennessy clan are there too - they’d be an experienced bunch most of them hurled senior cship for ten years or so, hardy boys up that way too

3460

Jim-Bob retired :frowning:

3461

You’d need your examined to be playing inter-county into your 30’s now.

3462

2nd of the 2005 minors to go in a week .

Richie, Hickey and Condon the remaining ?

3463

The Brick is still flying and he’s way older than Gavin and Jim-Bob. I know it’s a lot of commitment but it’s sad to see these fellas go so young.

3464

Pity. We are seriously lacking experienced players these days. I wonder has Kiely retired them or have they just seen the writing on the wall.
A great servant was Jim. Must be a couple of hundred hurlers in Limerick with more hurling but very few with his heart and drive. Himself & Browne were a great pairing for a few years, but struggled a bit this year. Always gave us a great bite at midfield. We are lacking a few hard nuts now.

I wonder would he give the football a rattle for a year. He is a flaking footballer, came more natural to him.

Yeah, and Richie & Hickey were minor again in 2006 iirc?

Joe is the only fella from that Galway minor team playing intercounty still. Maybe Skehill too.

3466

The wrong ones are retiring :grinning:

3467

Brick strikes me as a freak of nature . I assume the two boys feel they won’t be starting and hard to make such a sacrifice . Hard to blame them .

3468

Oooooooooffffffttttt you caustic bar steward .

3469

Ryan has struggled with injuries as well the last few years so hard to keep plugging away knowing you won’t be guaranteed a start.

3470

I mean they’re probably right, but you’d imagine that they’d still both be among your first 5 subs. And if they were in particularly good form, could force themselves in.

It’s just reducing our options, and the loss of experience and leadership in the camp is one of those things that’s hard to gauge.

3471

I’d love to see him give the football a go. Much more naturally skilful footballer, and definitely would be good enough to make the panel.

3472

He’d be a great addition and he can actually score points in football :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
