Ben O’ Connor and Ethan Twomey will be welcome additions to midfield. That’s where Cork have fallen in big games, as the present occupants Fitzgibbon,Meade and others couldn’t mix it with physically imposing Limerick men.Any clarification on Ben O’ Connor’s availability? Word is he signed for Munster rugby.Brian Hayes ( if he picks hurling) , Conor Cahalane and Ben Cunningham will add strength to the panel. The jury is out on DOL, as his recent performances leave many questions.. he is a better half back. Eoin Downey is going well, and could be a full back answer. Now… goalkeeper has it’s own separate thread on this forum, but Gavin Connolly has done ,with Ethan Twomey center forward
Well, I would prefer Joyce to be kept at center-back and build the rest of the half-back line around him. That said, I remember when John Gardiner was Cork's nailed-down center-back until Ronan Curran came along and Gardiner was moved to the wing to accommodate him. So I'll just wait and see.
Gavin Connolly, O’Donoghue, Eoin Downey, Rob Downey, Dol, Joyce, Coleman, Ben O’ Connor, Fitzgibbon, ROF, Twomey, Conor Cahalane, Kingston,Alan Connolly, Barrett/TOM . Am sure Ryan will go for youth and old stagers Harnedy, Lehane, Hoggy and DC on subs bench. Ben Cunningham and Brian Hayes (if available) to get tryouts in league.
