Cork u20 Hurling 2024

Thought it was right to give these lads their own thread rather than adding on to the 2023 thread.

Jack Leahy in sharp form as Cork U20 hurlers beat Galway

David Cremin and Diarmuid Healy hit goals in a useful challenge match in the Páirc

Article from yesterday's challenge match. Great to see so many players getting game time. Strange Galway only used a blood sub.

A lot of u18s used which is interesting.

Few guys to come into the team too - Darragh O'Sull, Timmy Wilk, Adam O'Sullivan, Barry Walsh etc. I understand Cillian Tobin will be out for a good while unfortunately.

Paudie O'Sullivan was impressive in goals yesterday IMO. Made one great save in the second half.

Cork really fell asleep for the 7 or 8 minutes before half time, and the same after the whistle. They seem to have a similar pattern to the Seniors of going completely out of a game for long spells. Last year that was in the case in several games.

They have a very serious chance winning another all Ireland this year.

Very solid players. Very surprised his cousin isn’t involved to. I thought he was very good last year centre back.

Ya surprised he isn’t with the seniors . Luke Meade was 18 starting out in 2015 . First year out minor . Big hype about screeny but I think this guy is another level . Scoring a lot this year from play to. You can’t beat a bit youth to. Him as a 3rd midfielder would add a serious dimension to the seniors

William Buckley would get eaten alive in senior, I think the lack of physicality will be an issue for him going forward.

However, there are some huge men in that under 20 team, you can see the s&c having it's effect.
Great also to see so many of last years minors stepping up, augurs well for next year and the year after.

Jack Leahy and Ciarmhac Smyth both won the freshers all ireland tonight with UL. Leahy missed a fair few scores but conditions looked dreadful. Smyth was solid at CB. Another medal for the lads will do the winning habit no harm at all.
