In the football? Iād say so yeah. The manager was in the paper yesterday and said they they are not just down the 3 Moycullen lads but half a dozen would probably be missing. Presumably close contacts of the Moycullen trio.

Just because youāre not used to chaps going to school to learn and write good.
Quite a management team the Cork Minors have.

Dublin u20s have a pile of injuries and Darragh Canavan back for Tyrone. Doubled Tyrone at 2/1 with Kerry at 4/7
Surprised Cillian McGroary isnāt starting considering he started a number of games last year. Should be competitive team, won the under 15 arrabawn 2 years ago and a good number of them played last year. Hogan the full back is a great bit of stuff
Reactor in Kerry
Thatās probably linked to the covid outbreak on the football panel

How good is your man Rodgers from Scariff lads? Is he anywhere near a Clare Panel?
He is on the senior panel and will start for the under 20s on Monday night. He is very talented and has an excellent set of wrists on him. Might lack a but of pace to be a standout senior intercounty inside forward but he has a lot of the other attributes needed.
There is a very nice crop of young hurlers in Clare aged between 16 and 20 at the moment, think we will have a couple of hard years at senior until these lads come through as the players between 22 and 25 who came through the 2013 to 2016 minors are limited enough mainly due to their development being stalled by terrible appointments at minor and 21s- Shanagher, Fitzgerald, Jason McCarthy, OāMalley et al all have glaring flaws for senior intercounty hurlers.
Fergal Lynch was parachuted in out of nowhere by the Ayatollah to take the minors last year as they were seen as a talented bunch. Thankfully he has been moved on but I have no doubt that our āexecutiveā will do their best to undermine this group coming through. Hard to see us having any real sustained success at senior until there are changes at the top table.

Cork a point up. Clare have the wind and are hitting a load of dropping puck-outs into the hands of Corkās backs.
Cork goal, Colin Walsh.
Howell, OāConnell and Mullins very good so far for Cork.
Fluke Clare goal from long range free.
Cork forwards working very hard, Clare look very nervy and fumbling a lot of balls.
Goal for Clare. Free from out the field straight into the net
You jammy cunts. Iām fucking seething.
Cork half back line very impressive. Hoovering up every Clare puckout put down on top of them
Winning everything in the air and the forwards working extremely hard. Itās like watching the Cork Senior Hurlers in reverse.
Didnāt Cork win the U17 equivalent of the All-Ireland in 2017 when they had U17 and Minor finals? Should be fairly strong in U20 this year so.
