Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[BBAWS]

Random thought but bear with me, Do you think darragh Fitz could start in the inside line? I know he’s very good on the run and picking off scores but he’s been struggling with the physicality and intensity of the modern middle 3rd battle and I think taking him out of that and putting him up where he has an eye for goal, pace to burn and great touch could reignite his IC career.

I don’t think it would work for him in there in a 2 man FF line. He’s at his best when he gets the ball facing up the field towards opposition goal. Playing inside would mean back to goal. It’s release him to CF for me with Coleman coming in MF.

Has to be worth a try he has a lotta class it might just work. Neither his club or county have got much return from him recently

Absolutely agree

I wondered would he do a job in the half back line

Nonsense. He's the best club hurler in Cork for years only he's been injured for the last few weeks.

Don't think him inside would work at all anyhow. To me, he's a natural 11.

Trying him inside would be pointless in any case as we are certainly not short in quality in that area of the pitch.

R.I.P. Jimmy Brohan

He was a pure gentleman. I've met him a few times at games. Loved talking hurling. He played before my time but he was fondly spoken about by the generations before me.

Stylish player and I remember in club hurling, his clearances were spectacular. A gentleman hurler, he always made the Munster full back line at a time Tipp were dominating.

Anyone ye think worth a try out in the league from what ye have seen in the club championship so far?

Ben Cunningham will get a chance you’d imagine. Important not to expect too much too soon either. He looks promising.

Will be 21 next year. Would be very surprising/worrying if he doesn't get a chance. Likes of Gillane, Casey and Kyle Hayes were all playing senior hurling at that stage.

Sean Desmond maybe?

Saunders in goal from Midleton will get an opportunity I would imagine. They'll be hoping to get Connolly back in ASAP. Cunningham & Twomey from the Barrs and Brian O'Sullivan from Kanturk should see some time.
