Delanys had a good win in the first of the jafc games, 1-14 v 0-04 v Bishopstown. Having lost the final aet last year and winning it the year before, we should be in contention this year again.

Please don't turn this into a junior football thread 🙈

Country clubs can produce good players as well. Joe Deane Seanie O Leary. Niall Mac. Brian Murphy. Ben & Jerry. The list goes on.

Is Cork best player not from a junior club Sean og never heard of?

THE Limerick senior hurlers scored a two point challenge game win over Cork this Sunday evening, 2-25 to 4-17.

The pre-championship encounter, a Mary Hegarty Memorial, took place in Old Christians GAA grounds in Rathbane with a strong second half from John Kiely’s home side ensuring victory.

Both sides were without some regulars, with anyone carrying a slight knock not risked, but served up an entertaining 70-minutes for a fine crowd in splendid Bank Holiday sunshine.

Kieran Kingston’s Cork were 2-9 to 1-7 ahead at half time.

Michael Cahalane had the first of the game’s six goals in the seventh minute to put Cork 1-2 to 0-3 ahead.

But a 15th minute Colin Ryan goal had Limerick 1-5 to 1-4 ahead.

Within a minute of that goal came the best of the six – Shane Kingston with a great finish to return Cork into the lead, 2-4 to 1-5.

Cian Lynch and Daniel Kearney had two points each for their sides in an opening half, in which Limerick had seven wides and Cork nine.

One minute into the second half a Seamus Harnedy goal moved Cork 3-9 to 1-12 clear

Cork were to stay ahead until 15-minutes from time when Darragh O’Donovan levelled, 1-20 to 3-14.

A great Kyle Hayes goal then edged Limerick ahead. Paul Browne and Alan Dempsey both helped themselves to two points in the half and Limerick were 2-24 to 3-16 ahead with seven minutes left.

Cork found a fourth goal in injury time – Harnedy finding the net from a 21-metre free. Limerick finished with 14 wides, Cork 16.

The two Roche boys are playing Minor A because Rovers minor team this year have only 2 boys on de full minor age. Whereas last year they were playing Prem 1 @ U-16 level.

The two Roches starred on the Colmans team at both Dean Ryan and Harty, O'Callaghan is the U-17 center-back and Keating is one of the best hurlers in this age group. Basically you are talking through your hole. Do you think these lads came out of nowhere? You realise they've been hurling together for Cork for years now yeah? Successive management groups have been picking them purely out of the goodness of their heart?

I never mentioned the lads personally, i'm sure they're good hurlers. I mentioned the clubs. My question still stands, whats going on with the Premier Minor clubs? There's 2 premier grades, where the best players should be (is that not why there are grades). Something is wrong in that regard.

1-13 to 0-5 40min. keep going lads
