The School, College & University Competitions Thread (another thread gone west)

Davy up to his usual antics again.

Below is the last paragraph of Jerome O’Connell’s match report on the Leader website.

ā€œUp the field went DCU and Curran found the winner in a fiercely contested and entertaining contest that ended with both managers in a crossfield shouting match rather than the customary post-match handshake.ā€

He’s some fucking ape. :smile:

I wouldn’t know him if I met him but this report and player line-up positions seems correct from what I could see.

I was a few minutes late (parking in LIT is a disaster). I saw some people with one sheet programs. Perhaps they were handed out or perhaps they printed them out from somewhere themselves. I’ve heard of that before. A program would be a great help.

Is that Willie Connors anything to tommy who played in CIT?

I don’t know, I’m not from Tipp. @carryharry might know somebody that could answer that.

I wouldn’t be from that end of the county but they’re both Kildangan anyway so I presume brothers/cousins

It’s Tipp, could very well be both.

usually you’d have a bit of hype or awkward photo op
vincent hogan had a twee interview with yer man Wall who coaches MaryI allright on saturday and Dj i think was moaning that he couldnt get players as they were been held back for the walsh cup, etc…
id say the time has come now for this to go the way of tommy murphy, oireactas, et al…

Hes a brother I think.

Tommy was a lovely hurler, Willie is the same though much more mobile and able to use timber (too much at times).

Willie got a red card for one of the worst challenges I ever saw in a minor match against Clare a few years ago

Saw willie play against Nenagh last year where he was within inches of similiar challenges on a numerous of occasions.

It wouldnt be the kildangan style to produce such uncontrolled aggression, he could do be a good squad player with Tipp at wing forward/midfield if he curtails this.

His usual antics is right.

I heard he played all the Wex/DCU lads against KK, then played them all again against Na Piarsaigh last Sunday, and they out again yesterday against his LIT boys, with a fitness test planned for today.

It’s no wonder himself and the DCU manager had words. He brings it on himself the poor crater. He should have a thread of his own here…

DCU manager is a Limerick man. Eoin Roche. He Hurled with Faughs and has been involved with Dublin underage teams the last few years. A gentleman and I’m delighted he put Davy on his hole.

No surprise to see Davy implode again

To be fair … you called this a long way out and before it was fashionable… The man will be in an early grave.

Take your pick lads.

Would most of the Maynooth lads be studying for the priesthood ???

A lot of fairly established Kildare players in that Maynooth side.
