Of the matches that I attended, no team played with a sweeper which was surprisingly considering that all were wind affected. No running off the shoulder either. As stated above, Dicksboro had a puckout strategy whilst a few of the teams were definitely attempting to play quality ball into the forwards

i was suprised not to see the village with a sweeper beacuse usually cheddar sets up his teams with a sweeper.

Did Ken Coogan start corner back for Tullaroan?

Yes Ken Coogan played most of the game corner back and also wing back

James Maher and Conner Delany will be two big loses the best of luck to both of them keep the fingers crossed we will have no more casualties.

We struggling massively for midfielders and backs. 2 big losses for the Leinster championship.

I saw Conor Delaney limping off in the second half of the Comer v Danesfort game. Richie Hogan had left the pitch on the first half, which John Knox reported on but never mentioned Delaney.

What a shame with James Maher gone also. Best of luck to them both in their recovery.

As I said in a previous post, we can't afford to be writing players off. They're living in the shadows of former greats, which can be difficult. They give their best and need support, not unfair criticism.

Danesfort going big !!

Best of luck to them !

Where in the last few pages have posters been giving 'unfair criticism'?

To clarify, not very many posters at all - one in particular never let's up on a number of players.

delaney and maher will be two losses especially delaney who was being groomed for full back.That leaves joey or maybe deegan at 3 id probably go with joey.Hopefully buckly will be back but its going to be a big ask thrown in against dublin.Thanfully hogan was only a precaution but he'll probably be only used sparingly this year.
i read yesterday that maybe kevin kelly could be used out around mid field because he hasnt the pace for inside and he has a good head he could be an option out around there.
no matter what way you look at it theres a lot of ifs and buts heading into the dublin match.my team as it stands and hoping no more injuries

Jesus there's no way I'd throw Kelly out midfield

You would wonder if Kelly has not the pace for an inside forward who he would work mid field where he has to cover more ground may be I might be wrong.

maybe you are right but fogarty hadnt the pace for corner back and worked at midfield.i think cody has good time for him and would like to fit him into the team.He hasnt being great since he came back from injury tho...its hard to know..i was talking to a ballyhale lad involved at the clara match who said darren mullen is having hamstring trouble the last year unlikely he'll be able to make an impression in with the county unless he tries richie reid in the half back line i thought he was very good two years ago for the shamrocks but wasnt as good this campaign although he had a good club all ireland....i wonder did anyone get called up after the round of club matches

I was at the st pats v rower match and thought kevin kelly was one of the best players on the pitch and a long way ahead of leahy who also played well, I know county level is different but def worth a try around midfield

Ceist_Beag

I said before that Kevin Kelly is much better suited to out the field. I think he's worth a try there at county level. That said there is another at St Patrick's who is more suited to a third midfielder role if it is being considered, Michael Brennan is a very clever player and performs that role very well for the club when played there.

Both bans overturned, not that it matters now anyway.

michael was in early last year but i agree his also a smart hurler.
kevin has had some great matches at club level i remember him giving a exhibition against tullaron a few years ago in the semi final.unfortunately he hasnt transferred that to inter county although he has being injured alot over the last 2 years hopefully he can stay injury free for the rest of the year.He definitely has the ability but i thought he lacked aggression in the few league matches but he has being out a lot hopefully he will gets into the groove.

Joe Daly

A couple of players that developed with a change of position was Cha Fitz, Cillian Buckley, and the above mentioned Conner Fogarty.

Agree Billy Ryan will defo start. Tall, strong in the air, very pacy and can score.

Murphy
Murphy lawlor/joey Deegan
Padraig fogarty Morrissey
Blanch Leahy
Wally TJ Donnelly
Aylward Colin B Ryan

Maybe Wally in MF !!

The Delaney, Hogan, Maher and Darren Mullen injuries are certainly big blows and will mean more reshuffling. Hopefully Buckley is back but will be hard to come straight back in championship. Few lads showed abit of form last week while others struggled. As of now the team I’d play is:

Murphy
Murphy Joey deegan
Walsh Buckley Reid
Leahy Fogerty
Wally TJ Mullen
Ryan Colin Blanch.

No matter what team is picked there’s gonna be a few risks. Hopefully we can stay injury free now and obviously hopefully the injured lads recover fully.

i wonder could we see someone like jason cleere at 6?
from our last championship match which was against limerick we look set to be down rob lennon,buckley,maher,hogan and pat lyng who is no longer part of the panel.Conor delaney also not available.

Its all about a big panel now this game against the Dubs is a major match its in the park Cody will not wont to be beaten in the park by anybody in a championship match . If they are not up for this one its going to be a quiet summer.

yea i agree this is a huge match we really need to win this.Its just theres a lot of the jigsaw to be put together but i wouldnt be suprised to see buckley start.this is the match they had in mind for his return thankfully no set backs and hopefully no fresh injuries to anyone else.

Massive ask for Buckley to play. By all accounts he has not trained or played in 6 months. If he has any chance of playing he will need to play club championship next week. If he is not up to that then he should not be considered against Dublin 3 weeks later. No way can a player in the modern day game fit 6 months of non contact collective training into 3 weeks collective training. It would be a desperate act by Cody
