What did you think of the performances of Kevin Lyons and Mark Riordan marking each other centre-back and centre-forward respectively? I believe Lyons went off injured around the half way mark. We should see both involved in this years U-20 Inter-county championship and who knows they could be marking each other again.

The Charleville CBS 'keeper is Kieran Murphy who was correctly talked up a lot for his outstanding minor performances as a forward and free taker for Shandrum in last year's Premier Minor 2 Hurling Championship. I thought he'd make this years minor panel for his versatility alone but I don't think the Cork minor management looked at him as a'keeper. I heard he was dropped from the panel after being looked at as a forward, raw pace is the one ingredient he lacks to make it in attack at this level, though a lovely hurler.

Rocco's Ross Browne is another excellent 'keeper and gave an exhibition for Blackrock although on the losing side v Glen Rovers in last years County U-18 final.

The Rocco full-forward according to the report on De Newspaper is Conor O'Donovan, I can't recall seeing him playing before but may have at juvenile.
 
O'Donovan at FF was very impressive. Some size of a young man. Buckley and Lyons were stand out performers, I thought Lyons definitely got the better of the duel with Riordan. When he went of injured with 20 minutes to go I thought Charleville had a great chance. Brady at half back for Rocco was also very good.

I was surprised to hear Murphy was dropped from the minor panel. Interesting that Charleville used him as a goalkeeper. Rocco goalkeeper's distribution was very good.
