Gavin Connolly of rockieshe made 2 in the galway game alone
both goals should have been saved
only way he'll make a save is if it's straight at him or hits him
Finbarr O’Neill left in a crawler from Theo English in the Munster final against Tipp in ‘ 1965. Very unpredictable goalkeeper and Paddy Barry was much more dependable. Maybe Patrick Collins is similar to Finbarr O’ Neill .Is O'Neill with Blarney anything to Finbarr O'Neill who used be in goal for The Glen and Cork back in the 60s and 70s but emigrated out to Station Road outside Blarney?
PC just isn't an inter-county standard goalkeeper. The whole county knows it and I'm sure Pat Ryan does too.Finbarr O’Neill left in a crawler from Theo English in the Munster final against Tipp in ‘ 1965.

No argument from me about DC.Pooman
DC isn't an inter-county defender but he has been playing in the Cork rearguard for the past 10 years.
PC had a good year in 2021 and a poor year in 2022. There are not top class goalies currently in the county to select from like in the past. His brother Ger as his understudy who doesn't play club hurling in goal isn't a helpful situation for Patrick to be in, where was the goalkeeping coach and another example of the poor management? I would go with PC starting next years league with Gavin Connolly as back up. I would have no problem with Connolly starting. If true I think it's not the correct option for Pat Ryan to expect Deccie Dalton to play in goals.
