2026 Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship

O'Callaghan was a handful! Big unit, decent paw and good stick man.

Whats his best position Micky?

Whats his best position Micky?

Inside forward I'd say.
Not super mobile but has an eye for goal.

Would O'Callahan be a possible option for Cork? I haven't seen much of him but I've been impressed every time I've seen him.

Thought the ref in the Dungourney-Aghabullogue game was brilliant as well.

There was some very decent tough hits went in but he left the game flow. Canice Walsh. Dunno where he’s from.

A fussy ref would have ruined it and turned it into a free taking competition. Hopefully that becomes the norm in club hurling to familiarise the players to IC level.

Duns had the better touch and hurling over the hour. Aghabullogue only brought on Danno and Corkery due to injury. They had a good run last year with not many injuries but the high intensity games caught up with them this year losing 5 starters.

O Callaghan is a handful but a bit raw. He’s young so that can be worked on.

He did wreck early on but Ring was able to do a job on him after he was switched on to him.

Great game overall and a great advertisement for the grade

O Callaghan seems to do wreck in the first 10 minutes of games before dissapearing a bit from the game

He is definitely worth developing at inter county level

O Callaghan needs a certain type of ball to be effective. No point hitting him ball into the corners like you would for a speedster.

I'd definitely have a look at him for Cork. The ball winning ability and goal scoring ability is similar to what people saw in Alan Walsh a couple of seasons back.

If COC can develop his athleticism and hurling, there's real potential there.

Bishopstown now relegated from this grade , it was short lived . With the plans for the proposed metro coming right through their club house ( or at least says local politician Mr Buttimer ) , it could be time for a complete re think of where they are going especially if the Ballinora surge will ever kick off at hurling .

The propsed Luas route is crossing over the entrance to the club just as you enter the car park. And construction is only due to start in 5 years time at the earliest, cant see how its going to effect their performances on the pitch in the next few years.

Saw Canice Walsh referee 2 weeks ago, best referee I've seen in a long time. Exactly what you said, left it go and pulled frees for the obvious. Saw players from both teams going up to him and thanking him after. He seems to be the real deal.

Haven't seen what games he's getting but he should get the senior county final and let them at it, no tippy tappy
