Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Killyoursons]

its

not so sure
closer to 11 i would guess the roches twomey and dalton or power will miss out

Not a bad team you named there. I reckon Brian Roche is rated slightly ahead of Meade by the management, so I'd be confident he would be picked. Eoin Roche didn't feature as much in the league, apparently he was (and maybe still is) injured, so not such an obvious choice. If O'Donoghue is fit he certainly starts, if not I'd say either Roche or O'Callaghan will get the nod.

Twomey has seen v little game time during the league (though he did have a decent Fitzgibbon), so would be a bit of a punt if selected. Personally I would have Dalton and either Twomey or O'Mahony on the wings. Dalton got a decent amount of game time so I would see him as a good bet to start if fit. However, based on league selections Ryan seems keen on Lehane and Kingston, so they might be included at the expense (from your team) probably of Power and Twomey.

So of the lads you named who you think might not make the cut, I'd be fairly confident that Dalton and Brian Roche will be selected, and I'd say at least one of the other three will get in as well.

I’ll be shocked if Brian Roche and Declan Dalton aren’t starting championship, both have helped transform the team this year

Sean O Donoghue will struggle to make the waterford game, with EDowney suspended I reckon the full back line will be NOLeary, DCahalane and one from ERoche, COCallaghan, COBrien and GMillerick in the corner

Not so sure Pat Ryan is as keen on Lehane and Kingston as you make out. Hard workers and ball winners are central to Pats template, both of them bring little in those departments. If Robbie is fit he starts with Kingston as plan b, Lehane is in a battle with Hoggy, SBarrett, PPower and BHayes for the two full foward slots alongside Robbie. I think he’ll go Hoggy and Power

Not so sure Hayes will be on their list to make the starting 15 tbh r&b, more on the list of lads trying to make the matchday panel. He hasn't really even put in a good performance since the Munster League.

I agree. Hayes may struggle to make the 26 never mind the 15.

He won’t start but he will play a part

He won’t start but he will play a part

I agree, I currently have him in my 26 because I think he can make an impact off the bench but I would also say that he would be the weakest sub on the list atm.

Not a bad team based on the injury plague we have been dealt at the moment.

Assuming Eoin Downey is suspended and all the injury rumours are true, this would be my 26 for Waterford:

First Team

1. Patrick Collins
2. Ger Millerick
3. Seán O’Donoghue
4. Niall O’Leary
5. Tommy O’Connell
6. Ciarán Joyce
7. Robert Downey
8. Brian Roche
9. Tim O’Mahony
10. Declan Dalton
11. Darragh Fitzgibbon
12. Sèamus Harnedy
13. Shane Barrett
14. Pádraig Power
15. Robert O’Flynn

Substitutes
16. Gavin Connolly I Position: Goalkeeper
17. Conor O’Callaghan I Position: Corner Back
18. Daire O’Leary I Position: Full / Wing Back
19. Cormac O’Brien I Position: Wing Back
20. Ethan Twomey I Position: Midfielder
21. Jack O’Connor I Position: Inside Forward
22. Shane Kingston I Position: Corner Forward
23. Seán Twomey I Position: Half / Full Forward
24. Brian Hayes I Position: Wing / Full Forward
25. Patrick Horgan I Position: Inside Forward
26. Alan Cadogan I Position: Inside Forward

The only thing I wouldn’t be comfortable with is how small the full back line are but I think it’s what we will have to deal with tbh.

DD in the half forward line.

DD in the half forward line.

Cork vs Galway 2023 League, DD scored 0-08 (0-06 from play) from the HF line?
