Might be a bit late then if they lose to the likes of Meath,Kildare And Dublin 3 tough opening games.
First game v Meath will be massive for our league aspirations, whether that is to challenge or survive.
Meath won a error laden game last year, Looking forward to see how Colm O' Rourke's straight talking transfers into management dealing with young players. Cork please god will be in a much better position panel wise once February comes, having a back line with Shanley, Meehan, Powter & O' Mahony available for selection would be massive, as well as Killian O' Hanlon back in the mix in the midfield area,
if Brian Hayes commits then this is a perfect opportunity to see what he offers at this level.
Also a look at another keeper to challenge Martin , in prior McGrath cup games should be a priority, a few good young keepers have had good club campaigns. Kilshannig's Gavin Creedon being one who certainly has distance in his locker, whether his comfortable going shorter needs to be viewed.
I would be slightly concerned about Kevin Walsh's previous coaching style with Galway but lets see what he brings before judgment is cast. Cleary steadied the ship when given the reins, progress now required, alot of the u20 team in 2019 in the current panel need to drive this team on now.
