Waterford colleges have been poor at this grade in the last few years and unsurprisingly our minor county teams have been average enough. Any stand out names to look out for that'll likely make the county minor (u17?) team later in the year?

I don't think he's his son but I could be wrong? He must be some schools player considering he played with Waterford under 21's last year. CBC or Christians offer hurling scholarships to compete with other schools and with more importantly rugby within their own school and you can't play both hurling and rugby as far as I'm aware. A new principal started a few years back and promoted GAA as well as rugby. They have lads coming in from Midleton, Mallow, Douglas, Inniscarra, Carrigaline and even Lismore just for Harty Cup hurling and have excellent strength and conditioning programmes from 1st year. I know Michael Breen from Tipp started teaching there as well so they're possibly employing teachers to promote the hurling as well.

Some really good performance from dls players, I know Dermot Dooley said most of the team are 6th years this year, so unlikely many will be playing county minor. Dermot Dooley is the main man over this team, with Derek McGrath and Kevin Moran teaching in the school as well they probably have some input with regards advice to players and management but it's Dooley who is running it. Couple of interesting things from the game yesterday, there was no South Kilkenny player in the starting 15 which i found Interesting, particularly given how strong mooncoin were this year at minor level. Usually a few South kk playing with dls but not this year. The other thing was a lad called eoghan Reilly played corner forward for dls, played well too, his club listed as Middleton. I don't know if this was an error making the programme or what but very rare dls would have lads from cork playing

Definetly the emergence of the Abbey CC in Ferrybank (competes in the Leinster competition) as a strong hurling school has hovered up a lot of the Sth KK contingent that DLS once drew. But from a Waterford point of view it’s probably better that it’s all Waterford lads, there’s few enough getting exposure to this level of hurling as it is

Meanwhile, Armagh's punishment for the same offence is to play their game against Clare at a Down venue that is 100 metres from the Armagh border and over 100 miles from County Clare. At what point should we start getting paranoid about this kind of stuff?
