With last Saturday night's U-16 finals bringing the curtain down on the Juvenile hurling season for this year we can only wonder who will make up the Cork Minor/U-17 panel in 2023. Starting with last Saturday night's winners I expect the following clubs to have the listed players looked at or involved in the current winter training:
Sarsfields: Jack Huggins, Luke Hogan, Darragh O'Donovan, Harry Cogan, Rory McCarthy, Barry O'Flynn, Finn O'Connor
Youghal: Oisin Walsh, Jayden Casey, Brian Lynch, Darragh Lyons
Killeagh: Darragh O'Brien, Ben Walsh, Barry Walsh, Sean Meade
Midleton: Cathraigh Cronin, Matthew McSweeney, Fionn Kelly, Peter Barrett, Daniel Garde, Darragh Egan
Kiltha Og: Cillian O'Callaghan, Richie Harney, Colin Murphy
Aghada: Sean O'Callaghan, Thomas Condon
Carrigtwohill: Patrick Walsh
Cloyne: James O'Brien
Bride Rovers: Cameron O'Sullivan
Douglas: Liam Kelleher, Mark O'Brien, Jack O'Brien, Cathal Hallahan, Ronan Dooley
Glen Rovers: Joshua Goulding, Conor McCarthy, Oisin O'Connell, Diarmuid Wall
Brian Dillons: Lee Butler

Kilavullen: Colm O'Mahony
Ballyhea: Sean Byrne
Fermoy: Harry Bates

Players who maybe good enough but could likely be gone to other sports include Donnacha Reddington (Douglas - Gaelic), Johnny Galvin (Eire Og - Gaelic), David O'Leary (Ballincollig - Gaelic), Anthony Slattery & Harry O'Sullivan (both Valley Rovers - Gaelic), Cian Walsh (Glen Rovers - Rugby).
Well folks, is there any player I should have included? What are your views?
