Guess the question is how much did Kiely and Kinnerk improve and develop what was undoubtedly a talented bunch at their disposal with u21 titles in 2015 (under Kiely) and 2017.
That’s a symptom of the problem that is Cork hurling.. just not enough top end hurlers.. and haven’t had with a long long time now. Pat Ryan will have to be a magician IMO.
Agreed. Loads of very good hurlers but hardly any modern day greats. Very hard to win an AI without 2/3 truly great players.
I don't think Hoggie will be a certain starter
Agreed. We won’t win it this year barring a good stroke of luck but we are improving and getting younger. I’ll be interested to see where we are in 2024 or 2025.
Agree on Dalton. I think Connolly will come good.
Whatever credit the likes of Cody for KK & Sheedy for Tipp get you should triple it for Kiely & Kinnerk at Limerick... Kinnerk has had a profound impact on the way hurling is played and practiced and how every club team across the 9/10 hurling counties are prepared. Gone are the 99 cones of 8 different sizes and 12 colours that were seen at training sessions and every warm up.. Kinnerk has put the cone companies out of business & reduced Global warming.
Out of the named players probably only SOD, Joyce and ROF are definite starters.
