Kilruane manager Liam O’Kelly is quoted in one of the papers saying Kilruane have trained 185 times this year - its not a typo as after the Quarter final he said on Tipp FM they had guys training over 170 times this year who hadn’t played a single minute of championship.
Serious enough commitment. I hope they win on Sunday.
The all-conquering Under 21 winning sides from 2006, 2007, 2010 established them as a Senior team.
The beaten Under 21 county finalists from 2012, 2013 brought them on a bit to making County Quarter/Semi Final’s.
It looks like their star studded Under 21 teams from 2017-2019 who surprisingly didn’t win anything at that grade will actually be the one’s to lead them to a Senior County.
He’s made a right job of them as there was a good chance they’d fall away once their star studded management of Eamon O’Shea/Billy O’Shea/Cormac McGrath/Noel Larkin left after 2020.
