Munster council maximising gates as per usual. Big local derby in Tipp QF and good chance of Cork derby for the final.

After all cbc have spent it would be no harm for them to win, it’s hard for a school to get over the line

Fuck them, poaching players of north mon year on year. They have a few midleton lads playing with them ffs.

They will probably win it though.

Twas a bit tongue in cheek, they are completely wrong in their approach and it does Cork hurling no good. Long may it last

How far have Flannans fallen?

4840

They won it in 2020 just before covid and won the Dean Ryan this year, all with players from their own catchment. I’d say they are back, the team wasn’t there this year.
They have a handful of young coaches/teachers that are driving it well, lads like Tony Kelly, Jack Browne and Brendan Burglar plus other like Jamsie O’Connor and Gary Brennan

They are no longer a boarding school or an all boys school. Change of head master there over a decade ago saw a big shift back to academics.

Flannan’s teams these days are pretty much made up of lads from Ennis and the surrounding area rather than boarders from East Clare, North Tipp and South East Galway.

As @PasqualePaoli said they had an exceptional team in 2019/2020 who won the Harty but Covid meant there was no Croke Cup. The current side lost a couple of close games but appears to be a very young side on paper with a number of their Dean Ryan (under 16.5) team starting this year.

I know someone close to the scene and says Flannans have really got their act together.

They won the Dean Ryan a couple of weeks back. There are two young Hegarty’s from Inamona, James and Fred, who are supposed to be exceptional, back boning the side at 6 and 11. Both are under 15s. James was a half back on the harty team this year and supposedly Flannan’s standout hurler at that level.
