He has issue with hip bone not sitting in the socket. This is now becoming a common theme among GAA players(ie Richie Doyle one example of many) and certainly wont proclaim to be any kind of Doctor but.......general prognosis is that issue often stems from over training in younger years

Honan firmly believes the training that he has done over the years caused his injury and he is not the only player to have hip problems on the Clare team. Along with Honan, Conor McGrath, Cian Dillon and Seadna Morey have all had hip surgery in recent years.
"I put it down to poor load-management and all the training that we were doing. It’s worrying and it is something that needs to be addressed in the GAA.
"Some of the training regimes are not good for the teams and there has to be more responsibility taken by people in charge."
Honan's tale is a familiar one as several high-profile GAA stars have had have under gone hip surgeries in recent times, including Cillian Buckley, Karl Lacey, Richie Power, Maurice Shanahan and Darran O'Sullivan.

Correct on Farrell and Michael Walsh but not true about Aylward.  He among a large group of players who this week begin training on what you would have to call is a provisional panel. Had a very tough 18months with injury(Cruciate, Hamstring and AC joint) so hopefully can stay fit and get some valuable regular game time.
Id imagine it will be some very tough training for the next 6/7 weeks to test lads mentally and physically and then there will probably be a cut of lads to make a smaller panel to take us into the Walsh cup and league before panel is reassessed again going into the championship

The kilkenny people reporting walsh and farrell probably won't be returning and a panel of 40 has being put together.does anyone know if john power back?i think it's no harm that lads who haven't made it after 4 or 5 years give way to a few younger lads,the panel needed to be freshened up.

First training session tonight of a weekly program which will consist of three sessions per week and the option of a 4th for players who wish do do additional work. Didnt hear anything as regards John Power but I would have thought he will stay with the club for next year and let his form their dictate whether he has the appetite and form for another crack at inter county. In fairness he showed up well in the three knockout games for Carrickshock I witnessed and seemed to be getting his mojo back

Probably a lot of last year's u21s but a friend from mullinavat told me there's a few from there club called in which isn't surprising given the good run they've had,tom alyward and mark mansfield are two he said.there'll probably be a few from callan,ballyragget and the boro added when they finish up with the club.

That correct from what I believe there was close to 55 included in this provisional panel which preparations last night and that number not including the Boro contingent(Buckley, Walsh and Cody) plus anymore Boro players that may be added. 
Im open to correction but I believe that Mullinavat have 5 players added, Ballyragget have 4, along with few from Callan. Some of the other clubs represented included Mossy Keoghan and Tommy Walsh from Tullaroan, Prenderville from Ballycallan and Farrell from Carrickshock. 
I wouldnt be reading to much to into who involved currently when working off such a large core group but lads will surely have a few weeks of heavy physical training to impress

I like the look of Tom Alyward, I think he could be worth a look at fullback, may be a little suspect pace wise but definitely worth a try!! Personally for the Walsh cup I'd like to see him tried or Conor Delaney tried at full back. Once the boro's year is over I'd like to see Conor Doheny and Robbie Fitzpatrick get a run, I think they're 2 really good options for corner back where I think we will need some new faces especially without Murphy for the league. I'd wonder will Eoin Murphy get a run outfield at some stage next year, he had another good year with Glenmore in the forwards and it's an area where we may lack a bit of leadership and experience and in the likes of Darren Brennan we have just as good a goalie in his place!

How could someone impress hurling wise during heavy physical training?

They showed him doing some coaching with a juvenile team too. Has he a reputation on the sideline ?

Ehhhhh obviously perform well during physical training sessions and demonstrate that their physique and fitness condition is up to senior Inter County standards perhaps..........

Anyone that was called in should be fairly fit after playing with their clubs all year anyway and I understand you have to be at a certain level, but you can be as fit and big and strong as you like , that doesn't mean you can hurl inter County level.
