Most of our college lads are after playing 2 matches this week It would be unfair to expect them to tog out saturday night.I agree a lot of last week's team done well and should hold on but I think we could see lester near starting.It's good that richie reid is available this will be a good test for him.

UL must be strong if Alan Murphy cant get his game

Yeah, going by media reports he has 2 games in 5 hours. Big day for his club and he can make the 2nd game in the evening. Maybe easier as a keeper though but fair play.

Cornerback1 · 26-01-2018 11:07AM

Who'll be on the frees on Saturday evening? Alan Murphy, if he starts?

Village87 · 26-01-2018 11:49AM

Good to see Kilkenny representation last night in the Fitzgibbon, Liam Blanchfield scored 2 goals last night for DIT against WIT who had Shane Murphy and Conor Hennessy hurl very well. DCU had Delaney, Mullen and Donnelly hurl very well when beating the Gaurds

Fierce short sighted by Cork managment if he does play the two games. Collins needs game time, what if Nash is injured before or during the championship and they have a keeper coming in with no game time. Perfect opportunity to bed in a new keeper.

big_drive · 26-01-2018 01:19PM

If Kanturk win which is likely they'll play the club final on Feb 4th

Cork play Wexford that day too so Collins will get his game then. I'd say that was a factor in Nash playing this weekend

Village87 · 26-01-2018 01:30PM

Nash obviously mad to play Corks first official game in there new stadium. I would do the same as him

Didn’t see a report from the DCU game did Donnelly score much? As you say good to see Blanchfield and Shane Murphy amongst the scorers in that game, Pat Lyng also scored 9 points in that game 6 frees and 3 from play. Does anyone know if John Walsh is still in DIT or has he finished up there?

davidx40 · 26-01-2018 02:47PM

Anyone know who is trainer selectors for DCU in fitzgibbon cup .....see davy had some nice words for who ever they are

Eoin Roche is over them, not sure who else is in the backroom team.

Heard the story was he ran the bollocks off the Wexford lads after our match and some of them were on the dcu team due to play against Davy's lads a couple of days later. Sneaky **** if true.

Do you dream about playing at that level.

brookville · 26-01-2018 07:14PM

Interesting that some managers pulled a few of their players during the week for college.the likes of leahy and blanchfield would of being a help in attack.It's going to be interesting to see what the team is.I'd love to see Walsh back at 5.
Cork have some lethal forwards this will be a good test for the full back line.

PeterCasey · 26-01-2018 08:16PM

Tom Phelan of Conahy hurled well for UCD during the week.

tbiggertycome · 26-01-2018 09:17PM

Kilkenny v Cork
E Murphy
J Holden P Walsh P Deegan
C O Shea J Lyng C Buckley
C Fogarty O Walsh
M Keoghan R Reid P Lyng
A Murphy W Walsh C Martin
Subs
D Brennan
E Morrissey
C Delaney
C Browne
T Walsh
L Ryan
J Maher

TJ Reid
L Blanchfield
B Sheehan

Other than the Bench the only change I can see from last week is Joe Lyng CB and E Morrissey losses out to the bench

Garyp88 · 26-01-2018 09:22PM

Shocked at no bolger scored in the first match then conducted himself well against 3 defenders last time out

BoroMan32 · 26-01-2018 09:36PM

Backs look solid enough, forward line a bit lacking in experience but nice to see the new names in there getting a chance...

Would expect Cork to win the game.

robwen · 26-01-2018 09:45PM

Hating Padraig Walsh at full back again he's wasted there hopefully it's not the plan for the rest of the year

PeterCasey · 26-01-2018 10:16PM

The best of luck to the team Saturday in Cork fought well last Saturday a lot of positives its going to take time.

Cornerback1 · 26-01-2018 10:30PM

Hopefully I'm wrong but hard to know where the scores from play will come from up top. Big role for the experienced lads in the team. Hopefully the new lads step up to the plate. A 1pt V Cork, like the last visit to Cork would be super. Good luck to all involved.

Yeah it's worrying now that they're doing this two weeks in a row, looking like a pattern where they'll persist with something that didn't work last year. I'd rather they tried and failed with someone new than persist with Walsh there in a position that doesn't suit him and takes him away from where he can make a difference. Although he did move around a bit last day, they need to try something new. Its been the biggest weakness on the team the last couple of years, and persisting with ideas that aren't working has been the other big problem. I know it's early days but it's not a good sign imo

brookville · 26-01-2018 11:00PM

I think the problem is he doesn't trust delaney or anyone else yet for the number 3.I'd much prefer to see someone else and if it doesn't work it doesn't work.
With the team doing well last week they deserve another run out.
The backs and mf look ok most have experience and probaly not far from the 9 we'll see during the summer.
As mentioned above I fear we mightnt trouble the score board enough but I hope I'm wrong.

It seems he is going to persist with him at full back its hard to see the logic as you said at least try somebody else if that fails go back to the old option.

Who will be the freetaker with TJ missing?

Boots234 · 27-01-2018 09:45AM

Why isn't TJ starting? Will he be back for the next game?

BORO BILL · 27-01-2018 02:19PM

Heard Ollie Walsh won’t play tonight as he is sick and James Maher comes in instead

brookville · 27-01-2018 03:20PM

I would of thought lester would get the nod but it's no harm to give maher a run...this league is going to be used to build a panel for the summer
