13. Michael Mahony (Ballygunner) – Capt.
14. Neil Montgomery (Abbeyside)

Dylan Guiry - Fourmilewater/The Nire, was the County Minor football Captain last year. Third year on the minor footballers played corner forward - wing forward in 2014, corner forward and captain 2015 probably be centre forward next week in the football. Great footballer, starts for the Nire corner forward at senior, first year on the minor hurlers. More of an athlete than a natural hurler but the majority of your duals are.
Neil Montgomery, probably the best Minor footballer in the county last year asides from Conor Prunty. Abbeyside/Balinacourty. Was on the county minor footballers last year at wing back. Used to be a savage rugby player for Munster and gave it up this year. Dropped off the footballers to concentrate on hurling. Interesting position to play him in, big lad, quick, will be about pumping quick ball into him for him to break id say. Would of saw him elsewhere out the pitch. Natural Wing back, Midfielder, Centre Forward. If he stayed on the Co Footballers this year he would of been captain.
Biggest Threat for us - Cathal Curran - Brickey Rangers, brother of Cormac Curran, surprised hes not centre back midfield. First year on County Minor hurlers and footballers. Got dropped last year from the 40 on the hurlers but came into his element over the summer at minor - intermediate. Not a natural wing forward, far too good to play there... Farther the championship goes I say he'll end up out at midfield/centre back. Biggest threat for us going forward though, like his brother great to take a score. If left in the forward however he could be the top scorer asides from the free taker.
Glen Water - Dungarvan is Injured last I heard. Should be back for the next round. Wasnt centre forward last year, started corner forward against tipp and i dont think he was against limerick... Was Andy Molumphy if i remember correctly. Will probably return to maybe in corner forward or midfield.
Who should be there? Conor Whelan - Brickey Rangers, highest scorer in Minor division 2 last year, has another year on the age, quick, strong and fast, was a good performer in u21 when brickeys ran into the u21 Western B final against Fourmilewater. A future waterford senior hurler. Should be played Midfield - Forwards.
Liam O' Connell - St. Olivers/Gerdlines, Last year minor, doesnt tog for county it seems. Should be starting football aswell as the hurling. Midfield - Forwards. Best player for Gerdlines last year in both codes and consistant St. Olivers performer at minor u21.
The weakness? The 6 backs are the weakness, play the hand your dealt from there is more there. Individual only Darragh McGrath will play co senior and is a standout. Rest are average for this level. Would of played Cathal Curran at Centre back, Eoghan Murray and Michael O' Brien on the wings. Billy Nolan should be out the field and probably will be after this game. There are decent keepers in this county. Have a suspicion we will stay in it til last 15 may even lead at half time but I think cork will have the quality. Decent squad, has to be shaped abit different, where players are playing etc. A loss might what this team needs, losing gives them a playoff second chance and the management will see the flaws in the system player wise. I understand picking the best team possible, lads injured, great to win straight away if this team can knock off cork with ease. But they scrap over cork and think its a winning formation will these players in them positions get knocked off by limerick or tipp. Remember 2013? Lost the first game to Tipp. The team got reshaped and we won an all-ireland. Sometimes its better to lose and see what needs to be fixed. Please do not quote that<
I do not want to hear about winning mentality. Alex Ferguson will tell you losing is almost as good as winning at times. Shows you what you need to fix to win. Problem may be, and I hope Cork wont exploit it is our wing backs. Michael O' Brien is a gifted hurler, tall, strong, great catch. Not fast enough for the position. Cork have any sense and done abit of scouting they'll know to play a small trickly colin dunford esque player there and exploit that flank. By pass our half back line aerial and we might lose the game. 2) Conor Curran - Ring, 3) Jack Lacey - Dungarvan, 4) Darragh McGrath. 2 & 3 are late changes it seems if you go by WATERFORD GAA twitter. Curran is a dual footballer in his 2nd year and hasnt played quality hurling so he may struggle, abit slow, built like a tank though so it will depend who he marks and how he reacts to a higher level. Lacey im okay with. Small sized full back line. Darragh McGrath 5ft 7-9, Conor Curran 5ft 7-10, Jack Lacey, 5ft 10 - 6ft 1.
Don't know what them changes mean. Just saw them there on Munster GAA. Hopefully it will be the start to a decent campaign and bag a munster at the minimum. Havent one won in years even when we won the all ireland!!!! And if you have any further questions on waterford GAA my book is available on Amazon

Basically a half hour synopsis of what youve seen of these lads as footballers then and just hazarding a guess as to what their like as hurlers. A load of non information if you ask me... oveehyping lads that arent there and writing off players that are starting. Its obvious you know nothing about the lads from the east and havent even see many of these players play. They are minors lets give them a chance. Anyway heres to a good hammering so we can find out a lot more about ourselves!!!0 -

Cathal Curran is midfield tomorrow
Conor Whelan not on panel defo not in 24 anyway.
Darragh McGrath is good an will line out wingback not corner an as your a courty man your right to be proud of your own but credit the other lads who are after making it this far. To be ridiculed by someone like yourself before a ball is thrown in for god sake their children i pray to god they havnt read your synopsis.
Donal Power drops back in corner back.
Liam O Connell & Lee Wall two outstanding players chose not to play minor this year after being on the panel last year. If I'm correct they chose education first and i admire them both for that. Young Tom Barron brother of Jamie is
On the bench and he has hopefully got a right future ahead of himself and hes minor next year.
Now look i wont get into anymore but give these lads the support they need, instead of ruining their chances before they play.
Its an open forum and their underage so less of the petty insults please get behind them and if its about their huing talk about it tomorrow in a mannerly way please.0 -
