Future Cork Hurlers

[Killyoursons]

whats the cork under 23 team in your view?

I'd have most of the players Corkonian1 named. I'd add Barrett and Connolly in place of Buckley and Cotter, and I'd have Mullins in midfield. Not quite sure who would be at corner-back - I might have Darragh O'Sullivan there ahead of MacCarthy.

That 'If' is completely hypothetical and highly unlikely as much as is Cork.winning the All-Ireland.

Shane O'Regan is never as good as Pa, after all Pa is from Ballyhea and he's a brother in law to Darragh Fitzgibbon who lives in Ballyhea. Most of North Cork believe it's the Home of Hurling!

Are you saying Pa O Callaghan is married to Darragh Fitzs sister just interested ?

No, both their partners are sisters. Two lovely girls with two fine hurlers.

Some rubbish being spouted on here.
If Robbie Flynn gets an injury free run at things in the league next year he walks onto the team for championship. And we better hope he does because he'll be needed if Cork are to win an All Ireland.

Also if the Cork management picked 50 new players to come in training next year Shane O'Regan still wouldn't be called. A few scores in a handy game that Sars ran up a cricket score and lads here are after finding the successor to Pa O'Callaghan

He does in his arse walk onto the team. The idea of ROF is a lot better than the reality

If O'Callaghan is already a Cork player then so is Cormac O'Brien, Cathal McCarthy, Micheal Mullins and Eoin Carey as they got game time in the league and were on the extended panel and named on the AI programme although they were practically all injured. However the thread is about future Cork players and Mullins is the only player I see playing championship and Cathal Mac is the only other player I'd hold on to for next year if back from injury and showing any decent form.

I stated if Shane O'Regan is as consistent throughout the club championship as he was in the 1st round and league final then he should be looked at by management. I wouldn't dare dream 'he is the missing piece of the jigsaw' but I do think as I stated earlier at least 6 to 9 changes to the squad are required and 2/3 to the team if Cork are to succeed.

That's a good Clare U-23 team. Likely if they met Cork they'd win by a point with the ref giving ye a leg up again and making all the difference.

Here is my Cork team:

Brion Saunderson
Shane Kingston Eoin Downey Cathal Mac
Micheal Mullins Ciaran Joyce Bn. O'Sullivan
Ethan Twomey Darragh O'Sullivan
Diarmuid Healy Wm. Buckley B. Cunningham
Padraig Power Brian Hayes Robbie Cotter

Subs: Paudie O'Sullivan, Cormac O'Brien, Cillian Tobin, Kevin Moynihan, Cillian O'Donovan, Sam Quirke, Brian Keating, Darragh Flynn, Daniel Hogan, Hugh O'Connor, Jack Leahy, Sean Desmond, Jack Cahalane.

Best game I have seen him play. TOM spent the last 20 mins up in the forward line though

This thread is barmby.

Lots of u20s players being mentioned here, the harsh reality is only 4/5 will make the breakthrough, likes of Connolly, ROF, Barrett, Kingston will be on the panel for another several years
