Strong performance last night, worth the drive in shitty conditions. Organisation and structure is excellent, every lad knew what they were doing and how they were working the ball, keeper and full back were doing loads of talking to steer things at the back. This is a seriously well drilled team.
Physically / athletically they are impressive also, more pace than Waterford in lots of positions, Lyons powering out from 3 is a serious operator, Darragh O’Sullivan, Buckley, Cremin have loads of pace also.
Accuracy was another stand-out, I think the first 10 or 11 shots at goal all went over, I only had 3 wides counted 10 minutes into the second half. Buckley and Leahys shooting on another level. New lads did well. Both Killeagh minors are going to be great additions, and I was impressed with the half back line… the CB o’regan was given license to roam clearly and he’s very athletic. Tobin very good in the air, and tidy taking the ball out of trouble. Never created a proper goal chance all night which was disappointing, penalty wasn’t a good one either.
I’m like a broken record on Healy, but he’s like a 20 year old Harnedy but with the potential to be even better. Catches ball he has no right to catch. He might do a coaching session with the senior team on this - as we don’t have any lad as good as him at it. Got a superb point in the first half. Himself, Buckley, Lyons stood out a mile. Lyons wasn’t troubled by Patrick Fitz at all really. Tougher challenges ahead for sure, but there are some serious lads coming through.
