Cork Minor Hurling 2024

[omar]

is there any list of what they show? anyone know if TG4 are showing the u20s?

If you go to the fixtures on munster gaa website, the streaming/ticket details are linked next to the relevant fixture.

As far I can see Clubber are doing minor and TG4 the u20 games via their YouTube channel. I'm sure TG 4 will have a game or two on TV as it progresses.

Corkionan 1 is Luke Murphy 16 ?

He might be but AFAIK not under 16 like Brosnan and Deane.

 

[Goat1]

Corkionan 1 is Luke Murphy 16 ?

No Luke Murphy is on the age.

How? Genuine question
At that age it’s largely down to the ovarian lottery, boys who are that level now because of inherited attributes, increasingly these physical attributes or possibly being born into the right environment. I think 90% + of it is due to genetics at that age.
IMO Plaudits go to the lads who put in the effort required on their part over the next 5 years to make a big contribution to their club and county. Plenty minors never do much after.
IMO the spotlight should be totally taken off these 16 year old children.

The GAA hierarchy put the spotlight on them by reducing the age to play minor.

I have to agree with Goat1 there is a huge effort required by the players and their parents, inter-county minors are a credit to their families and clubs but no longer get the support of their clubs.

Inter county minors don’t play with their clubs sure. They disappear into the abyss.
It’s no longer the case that you can go to club games and watch potential inter county minors lead their teams battle it out against each other.
They are too busy spending the weekend in the gym and on the plastic pitch down the Pairc.

It’s a game of opinions and we can disagree. I stand over my comments on genetics and physicality being the key parameters at such a very young age. The dogs on the street are talking about it sure.
It does take a big effort, a daft effort in logistics for many families in a county the size of Cork. Many of the best of the players get burnt out.
Rebel Og is a terrible player development model that over the last decade has proven to not serve Cork hurling well.
The days of the Cork minor team being a good indicator of what’s coming through to the seniors in a few years time are long long gone I’m afraid.

Why do you say Rebel Og is a terrible player development model? What criteria are you judging it on - underage intercounty trophies, developing players for the senior intercounty team, developing players for senior club teams, or what? I'm not defending Rebel Og, but I am curious to know why you are so critical of it.

As for the Cork minor team no longer being a good indicator of future senior players, I'm open to correction here but I would have said the majority of players in the current senior panel would have played minor for Cork. Also, if minor teams are less reliable indicators of who is coming through, is that something specific to Cork or does it reflect broader changes, e.g., minor going to U17 and there being fewer players under 22 or 23 breaking through at senior intercounty across the board?

I agree with you on the genetics and physicality and also the Rebel Og model but this is the fault of the GAA and not our young players. As I stated it is also the GAA hierarchy who have troubled such young players with the spotlight and they don't get help from their clubs and I don't see why the plaudits should go more to older players. The GAA loaded far more pressure on those players when lowering the minor age, sixteen and seventeen year old's rely much more on their parents than those 20 plus.

Inter-county underage players play more with their clubs and schools more than the ones you maintain deserve plaudits. I have seen a lot of the players lining out tomorrow night playing for their clubs and there isn't anybody involved from my local club.

Best of luck to the lads tonight, looking foward in particular to seeing young Deane for the first time, he comes with a big reputation

Big John has a few posters here rattled to the core, not that it would bother him one iota, but their silence since the team announcement has been a godsend

Come on the Rebels
