I suppose it depends on how serious Sars will take the munster campaign after losing the cork senior final.

Wonder did Cathal Mc and JOC go on the players holiday?

U/18s were precluded in Cork to prevent player burnout if you had an exceptional 18yr old - he could end up in multiple teams
Also to prevent fixture congestion as all the minor games would be held up if your top player involved with an adult team - your team mates would be hanging around all year waiting for the adult team to go out of competition That was agreed with all the clubs in Cork
Junior clubs looked for an exception to the rule as there were concerns they mightnt be able to field without their 18 olds so an exception was made for junior teams

You now have senior /intermediate clubs kicking up they can’t play their 18yr olds which would be counter productive to the original rule
Counties were given their own autonomy on it - so other counties may have ruled differently

18 year olds can play adult but only at junior level, you have the farcical situation where the 2 best cork minors last year can’t play Senior A with their club vut can play junior with them

Imagine if you were a club like Newcestown or Fr O Neills and you had an exceptional 18 year old or two but can’t play them at premier senior level? It could be the difference between qualifying or not, or worse again being relegated

Meanwhile Imokilly win the county with a pick that would be the envy of any club in the country. Imagine having 500 adult players to choose from?

But we are Cork, we must do things differently

Agreed with you on the Imokilly point - hopefully Donald will work his magic

I spoke with someone involved with Sars prior to the Cork SHC final.

I got the impression that they had absolutely no belief they could make an impression in Munster regardless of the result against Imokilly.

I'd be interested to know how they've trained since the SHC final.

Sars opt against calling up Barry O'Flynn for Munster semi against Feakle

Sarsfields boss Johnny Crowley said the club did consider bringing O'Flynn in to the senior team.

Having minor at u 18 is what's causing the problem in the first place How is it preventing burnout ? All the u 18s in Cork are playing adult match's just not senior or intermediate. So in a dual club the 18 year old plays Minor Junior second team U 19 U 21 In county's where it's u 17 they are finished with minor so that's one grade less

 

[Twiceasnice97]

with a few years now Under 17s are not allowed play adult as per offical guide, in Cork is that U18? only in senior or all grades? if all grades it really impacts smaller rural clubs. Joe Canning was man of the match in a county final in his U17 year but i think its a good rule. Lamine Yamal won the Euros in his u17 year.

Lamine Yamal is not an accurate comparison
He isn't playing for Barcelona or spain 18s 19s and 21s along with seniors

Good point.
