I had Niall Moran, Paudie McCarthy & Richie Murphy still playing first-team first team hurling last year.
I think Clancy was only playing junior but I could be wrong on that.
The likese of Alan OâConnor, Tobin & Paudie OâDwyer were still going very strong right up until they retired tbf. A couple there I wouldnât have seen much of at adult level tbh.
My proposed Championship Team if we can get everyone fit.
Brian Hogan
Cathal Barrett
Barry Heffernan
Alan Flynn
Seamus Kennedy
Ronan Maher
John Meaghar
Dan McCormack
Noel McGrath
Michael Breen
Jason Forde
Patrick Maher
John McGrath
Seamus Callanan
John OâDwyer
Iâm introducing a policy that nobody under 26 should be allowed start as they are all hopeless.
Forget this transition game/hybrid nonsense and use Brian Hoganâs big booming puckout to land it on the opposition 21 and let the âsnipers in Cooper Helmetsâ do the rest.
3x All Ireland Winner, Declan Ryan was manager of that Clonoulty team today.
He took over from 2x All Ireland Winner Joe Hayes who managed the Clonoulty Junior B Team in 2020. The Late Great Theo English was on that management ticket too.
Just shows you the depth in strength of Tipperary hurling when a 5th Tier side can command that calibre of manager.
