Cork Minor Hurling 2023

[leeside_rebel]

Think the match day panel of 24 has already been announced to the players at end of last week.

Spoke to a lad yesterday and not finalised yet but at a guess Midelton CBS harty team should have 3 or 4 on panel Carrig , Aghada, Midelton , Cloyne . Colmans Harty 1 lad kilworth , CBC 1 Barrs . Jayden Casey Youghal and Ben Walsh who played last year and duel player - Oier o Callagahan.
Ronan Dooley Douglas and Barry Flynn Sars . killeagh will have 3 on it . Charleville and Newtown 1 each . Glen maybe 1 .

Cork played Galway in Pairc a few weeks back and beat them by 3 or 4 points , Galway were missing 4 or 5 lads which includes Niland .Cork are going for size and have an obsession with it , no small neat nifty hurler anymore for hard sod in May . Cork will be strong though .

U16's gone for size as well.

 

[Cork Abu]

Looking at Tipp , Clare and Waterford this week , they had a sprinkling of average size lads on thier teams .

I don't believe in this size issue, a good hurler should be selected on merit and not because he's big or small. Also these guys have another 2 years growing to do and the year difference from U-18 to U-17 is hugely significant, however a lot of managers and coaches don't seem to think so in the context of their overall development. Even with this obsession on size I still expect only 2/3 in defence of the current Cork minors to be 6 foot or more and another 2 in attack which doesn't include Cork's biggest player Cathal Hallahan who is ruled out at least for the Waterford and Tipperary games.

I expect the team and subs to be along the following lines:

1. Oisin Walsh
2. Oir O'Callaghan 3. Darragh McCarthy 4. Carthaigh Cronin
5. Sean O'Callaghan 6. Ben Walsh 7. Cillian O'Callaghan
8. Jayden Casey 9. Conor McCarthy
10. Barry Walsh 11. Zach Biggane 12. Johnny Murphy
13. Finn O'Brien 14. Barry O'Flynn 15. Sean Meade

Subs: Fionn Murphy, Jake Brosnan, Johnny Galvin, Conor McCarthy ('Barrs), Christian O'Gorman, Ronan Dooley, Patrick Walsh and another 3 players out of David O'Leary, Sean Bresnan, Luke Buckley, Eddie Walsh, James O'Leary, James O'Brien, Brian Lynch and Liam Og Hegarty.

Very surprised to see Oier named as a back, has been a forward/midfielder up through the years. Would be delighted to just see him start!

Cillian O’Callaghan at wing back is a horse of a man, played the with Midleton for Harty, has very good ball winning ability and always makes the right decision

Youghal
Liscarroll/Churchtown Gaels, Passage West, Midleton, Aghada, Killeagh, Dungourney, Youghal, Glen Rovers, Killeagh, Charleville, Dromina, Erins Own, Sars, Killeagh.

Subs: Killeagh, Glen Rovers, Eire Og, 'Barrs, Charleville, Douglas, Carrigtwohill, ....Ballincollig, Charleville, Mallow, Mallow, Lisgoold, Cloyne, Youghal, Kilworth.

Cormac Dineen of Inniscarra is another player who could make the panel as cover for corner-back.

The two inter-county dual players I am aware of are Oir O'Callaghan and David O'Leary.

I agree as I'm a little surprised Cork are playing him as a tight marking corner-back, he usually imposes himself on games further up-field but to give the selectors the benefit of the doubt these matches are of minor B club level compared to the top level of minor inter-county. Apparently Oir O'Callaghan played very well in a challenge v Dublin in Mallow on St. Patrick's Day, Cork won 4-14 to 13 points.
