How did the move out the road end up working out for a certain Ballinscarthy player ?

He moved to the states, did his ACL for the 3rd time and is still there AFAIK.

A better example of a quality young player wasted at a junior club is just over the road from Ryan ODonovan. He should take a look at Rory O’Sullivan, who was training with the Cork seniors when he was just 18, what a prospect, injuries didn’t help but things could have worked out differently if he had chosen to move to Clon when he had the chance.

Rory would have flourished alongside the likes of Clancy and could have replicated the All Ireland success they had together at schools level. His loss, and Corks loss. He had the opportunity but wrongly decided to remain with Timoleague, hopefully Ryan won’t make the same mistake.

It's tigerish 'foxy' corner backs ye need not corner forwards...ye haven't had a decent one in awhile...what was that fellas name again, backbone of full back line in the early 00's ?????

It's bad enough ye have the best young players from St James snaffled up, now ye want to go after Barryroes finest, some might say its a poor reflection on a club the size of Clonakilty...p.s. by all means keep taking as many as ye can get from Kerry, they have worked wonders for ye

You might want to delete that one before r&b gives you a doing. He's a more recent addition afaik.

I stand corrected. No blowins in 2018 indeed. A massive achievement.

He didn’t travel at all in 2018 ya cynic
20 players used in the final, all came up through the ranks

We nearly repeated the feat in 2021 with 19 of the 20 players used in the final being homegrown, your buddy being the odd man out

We came close again last year with 19 players used in the hurling final with 18 of them being homegrown
