good to see the new thread lads and we should try to keep the debate and banter to hurling if we can as clogging it up with non-hurling stuff or personal stuff will only turn people off - but we must also retain a bit of good old-fashioned Cork ball-hopping for the craic . The vibes on Pat Ryan have been very good so far - I think he will be exactly the breath of fresh air we need and every hurler in Cork with any kind of potential will feel he has a chance if he excels with his club. This, plus an existing panel loaded with talent surely gives us a lot of hope. Best of luck to Pat and his management team and thanks for taking on what is a hugely time consuming job. Rebels Abu
