Who would they have dropped to accommodate the 3 lads?
They were going with Colm, Gabriel and Rian in the full-back line from last year's U-16 win and then Conor Garvey replaced Colm and in this years championship Aaron O'Sullivan replaced Gabriel, as replacements Conor and Aaron did well although Conor struggled in the 1st half in the Munster Final and was replaced at h/t, then when he got injured last Sunday he was replaced by Gabriel. When Riley got injured he was replaced by Alex O'Herlihy and later he struggled with the conditions in the Munster final and was replaced by Donal Herlihy who held his place although was replaced by Alex last Sunday who really stood out in the 2nd half. Therefore IMO it would be Colm, Gabriel and Riley starting instead of Conor, Aaron and Donal. Hopefully we will see Conor start next year as he is underage for inter-county minor again in 2026.
hes not underage next year
Disappointed to read that, I thought of the starting team he was the only one underage in '26. Only Luke O'Neill from the bench AFAIK so!
You're spoofing there kid. Aaron O'Sullivan has been first choice all the way up. He was injured this year, that's how Gabriel got a start.
From churchtown in North cork very good player .use to play for cobh ramblers but left the soccor
Who's the black lad playing for Cork?
He looks very elusive and great at avoiding tackles with a shimmy.
Not spoofing at all. Aaron wasn't selected on last years U-16 team that defeated Kerry in Ballyvourney in the AI Final. The 6 defenders were a full-back line of Gabriel Oronsaye, Donnacha Coleman and Rian McCormack and a half-back-line of Conor Downing, Colm O'Riordan and Peadar Kelly. I think 2 of this years backs Eanna Lynch was mid-field and Darragh O'Sullivan was half-forward. It wasn't Gabriel that Aaron got in for as Gabriel started throughout last year then got injured playing soccer in the winter but made it back for championship this year.
