Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[red&blue]

Outside of his performance (which I thought was reasonable but not great) did anybody else notice ED swinging the hurley a la Cathal Barrett as he was coming out with the ball? Something he'd want to watch cos it could get him in trouble again.

Nothing at all wrong with it, Tommy Timber for one was brilliant at it

Not a problem if you dont get caught.

You got there just before me bb.
The best of the lot was Hartnett's "accidental" flick as he was charging down the line that caught Lynskey. Happy days.....

Darragh Fitz Harnedy Twomey
Robbie Dalton Barrett

Would be my starting forward line for Championship if all fit and raring to go. The chances of that happening right away is of course very low.

Dalton and Horgan an easy swap if needs be but I'd prefer Dalton as he can interchange with Twomey or Harnedy as a different focal point and Horgan would be better in my opinion as an impact sub when a full back line are tired and things open up in a 2nd half and a crucial point or two can swing momentum.

Realistically all can interchange and swap effectively. Darragh Fitz a bigger scoring threat than Tim O Mahony and won't have half a defence bursting at him as soon as ball is in hand like he has done at midfield.

Tim and Roche or Meade midfield although I think Brian O Sullivan or Tommy O Connell could be the men for the job going in the near future. I fear O Connells lack of height may catch him out. Tim adds a big, range athletic aspect to midfield which we've been severely missing in recent teams. He was rusty the last day but he was growing back into it with every ball.

Tom cannot defend.

Ben maybe because he has slipped down the pecking order but if you think last nights performance is going to stop Eoin Downey making the senior team you are delusional

Ah come off it. It certainly didn’t help him. It’s one game. More than time to make up for it but another similar performance wouldn’t be good.

Any word on Pat Ryan's appeal against 2 weeks in the big house?

It didn’t help who?

Anyway the internal Senior games will have more relevance than last night when it comes to picking the championship team

I must be speaking French because my post was clear.

Awful quiet around here. Let me try to get some banter going. Who would you say has to be our best player for Cork to make a run this year? I’m going to say Robbie O’Flynn.
