Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[North Cork]

Conor Lehane is a hugely talented hurler and I hope that he does come back to the inter County panel ...but he will need to do far better than when was last involved.
He simply was not winning enough ball or working hard enough defensively in my opinion.

OF those not involved in the present set up by far the best i saw last sunday was Darren Browne Kanturk

Outstanding I thought. Not flashy but does exactly what you'd like for a defender, nothing came through the centre of kanturk backline

That game was miles below a senior intercounty standard in many aspects, as good as he was.

I would have him on the panel as he is what I would call a jobber - he can mark a given forward out of it when required. Has done before in Fitzgibbon several times.

He was tried corner and half back in the league of 2018 and 2019 and was found to be lacking the pace needed for that level i believe.

Anything to suggest from the county championship that the standard of hurling is improving in Cork?

I guess we'll see how Midleton do against Kilmallock but the refereeing has allowed more tackling over the last few yrs for definate.

I see Mark Keane being touted as a possible future Cork senior. One thing for sure is his ball catching ability is light yrs ahead of 99% of club players in this county.

Mentioned in the junior thread he went back to Australia today.

agree - that match was a country mile off IC standard, the amount of time fellas had available to them was incredible. The Glen Midleton match was a far more intense affair in comparison
