At the weekend? Was it not a few weeks ago?
But yeah, not safe yet. I do think theyād probably beat H/H or Kieranās if it came to it.
I donāt know if Knockaderry will heat Claughaun/Old Christians though. Maybe if Condon and Hanley are both available, and if Byrnes is still out for Christians.
Sorry it was yeah
Hanley hasnāt been playing all year I heard?
Is OāSullivan still playing with them?
Which OāSullivan? Havenāt they like 4? All playing last time I saw them anyway.
Diarmuid the lad who played in the minor all Ireland final that time was the one I meant but thereās a shot of them alright
Thereās a Donagh, Donal and Liam too. I actually canāt remember if Diarmuid was playing. Liam was probably the best of them this year.
JL? Excellent coach.
Yeah thatās him.
He had a stint with the Limerick camogie team too, I think. Meant to be a top class operator.
Our lads still rave about him, got us over the line after a rake of near misses in the previous five or six years.
He was with the camogie as well alright. He was Limerick Intermediate coach for 2 years I think. Had a stint with Killeedy and Croagh too I think (Could be wrong about Croagh).
Drom wanted him to coach the hurling at one point but he said no as he was worried he wouldnāt get the commitment with the football taking priority.
Hes not coaching anyone at the moment as far as I know.
JL is an excellent coach. Great to relate to players, good training sessions and a good motivator.
Only place he falls down is on the sideline during games. Panics a bit and not great to spot switches. A lot of good coaches are like that, actually. There was another involved with my own club who was flawless leading up to games and could go to pieces during them. Strange, but not uncommon, trait.
I think you see that all the time. I think itās to do with getting so obsessive with everything that youāve done in preparation in the build-up, sometimes you can be blind to something obvious thatās happening on matchday.
I think the key is to have people in your backroom team who are more coldly analytical on matchday in judging the ebb & flow of the game, and how the match-ups are going, etc. And obviously you have to trust/listen to those people.
JL a super club coachā¦heard heās not training anyone because he wants a break from it. But Iām sure heāll return again to some side soon. Also a very good point regarding good coaches not being great on the line. Different skillset really and not every good coach has both. Reverse is true also, good motivators/team managers who are good on the line and in the dressing room arenāt always the best for coaching sides
A former Limerick camogie and intermediate club hurling coach only known by his initials is getting a lot of exposure today, is his name top secret?
Top top secret
I suppose itās one reason why pinning all your hopes on one manager to deliver success is a bit mad; it has to be a backroom team really. And manufactured backroom teams with big names donāt always work, you do need to be comfortable working with each other.
A good skills coach, a good man manager/motivator and a good tactical/analytical mind are all essential for a team at any level really.
No comment.
