What a gob shite if you can’t see that the future of kilkenny hurling was being looked after by someone that never played in a game of hurling and you want to know why kilkenny squads were failing
If you can’t see that Brian Cody since fogarty left his decisions and picking of players for kilkenny were favouring village players just go back to the midfield last year
his record since fogarty left is so bad
The Kilkenny Under 20 team to play Galway on Saturday has been announced. Mark Dowling decided as Danny Glennon is so brilliant that he's just sending him up to face Galway.
Brilliant!!!.... 😁
Oh God no it’s really simple. Danny Glennon was dropped off the u20s because Brian Cody didn’t like the fact that he plays snooker for the Boro.
As Oddball said in “Kelly’s heroes” what’s with the negative vibes man. Just a few years ago a chap from the Deep South was the outstanding player at minor level when it came to the county team he couldn’t hack it at all and was substituted early. We are not privy what goes on in training and how players are performing . So we must have confidence in the management team till it’s proven otherwise. Ray Heffernan was an outstanding player but couldn’t make an impact on the county team also Sam Carroll from the bridge and several more besides .
A match Danny Glennon did not play in as he was sick.
👍👍👍👍
Tullogher/Rosbercon were hammered in the first round of the Junior championship last year. That could be part of the reason they are not involved, if you are not doing it for your club on the big days there is no excuses.
It's a mess.
Am I right in saying this U20 management have played one competitive game this year so far? Because there seems to be a lot of people trying to stick a knife in very quickly which screams to me they have a bit of history with one or more of them. I say that whilst acknowledging that it was surprising Glennon and Lar Murphy from Tullogher were both left off the panel.
Couldn’t agree more. So many hard working outstanding players are being over looked and it’s so hard to stand on the sideline and watch teams be let down by the people who should be there to help them win.
Danny Glennon being dropped surely upset a lot of people but he wasn’t the only player to be unfairly dropped this year. I agree Adam O’Connor should be on that team. Coming back from severe injury to play as well as he is proves all the hard work and dedication. Being recognised for your achievements is always outstanding but clearly hard work means nothing to some U20 selectors. It’s hard to stand by and watch amazing players be cast aside when they have fought to be there. I genuinely think U20 management need to sit down and think about where they are going wrong.
Is anyone else finding it hard to follow this thread?
He scored 3-29 in Junior League/championship last year, 3-25 of which was from play I was told a few months back, granted some of that opposition would be weak he was up against but its good going for a player in his 1st adult year.
They can’t be all unlucky Cody just would not play them brought them in like boro players minute they did not play well they were gone if any of them got same chance as Conor Browne who got so many chances and he such a poor hurler
He scored 1 -14 in a Walsh cup match and then left off panel Cody just did not pick him
He never played hurling in school or for a club
Yes Danny Glennon has bulked up but hasn't lost the speed you are talking about. He was absolutely excellent at minor for Tullogher and one of the reasons they fell just short of beating Dicksboro on the day in the county final. As with any player when they take the step up to adult hurling you wont have it all your own was as you would have underage but he was still clinical for Tullogher last year. The point i was trying to make is that we dont have many better forwards at U20 in the county and he absolutely should be there. Once in there its a fight he as to make himself to prove himself worthy but he needs to be there first.
Agree Danny Glennon should be on U20 panel.
I agree 100% about Tom Aylward. Outstanding last year v OLG and looked as good as Huh Lawlor. He put in some outstanding displays against us in Senior, we can never beat Mullinavat and we have 6/7 lads in with seniors and were carried for years. Aylward did his cruciate county training.
Celtic Challange team trains in Kierans Wednesdays and Fridays for anyone who wants to see them. It's Kieran Joyce that's training along with Pat Hoban. The lads like Kieran as he says what he sees. Again there are lads in there that both trainers hadn't a clue what was there position. It might be the b team but 2 of the forwards are as good if not better than on the current A team both went into trials and both played in cornerback. Hard to impress the coaches at that crack. I have being around the under age for a while now it is disheartening for some of the youngsters as they see worse players being brought in. Just on young Danny Glennon at 15 he was devastating at minor not as much. I seen him last year and he had lost alot of the speed as he bulked up it made him a lot more managable for defenders. On the current minor team 10 of that team were being talked about before they played U14. Sonthere was no great interest to trawl the county for players
You need to leave it go about John Walsh at this stage, brilliant hurler for his club and all but I think he was in with the county on 3 separate occasions and just struggled with the training and higher intensity of things in there. He also gone abroad for this year too so Mullinavat will feel his loss for scores.
What I will also add though is his own Clubmate Tom Aylward got shafted off the county panel when he was the 2nd best full back in the county, he never got any chance after coming back from his Cruciate and was just cast aside even when he had a excellent club campaign that year. Thought Ger Malone was unlucky to be dropped off panel around same time.
Was he not a Boro man?????????
Talking to a parent whose son on Celtic team not sure of name but basically a b minor team
had to bring him up to Kieran’s for training
45 min drive young lad had to watch a team who were there also get drinks bars and playing gear they got nothing a team get food after training they got nothing
they won there match in cork
only team to do so the weekend
when they travel if they get food before match they don’t get anything after it
he told me in fairness Pat Hoban was doing his best for them but was up against a brick wall also Barry Joyce training them doing a great job lads love training under him
re squads I was only pointing out that the chap never hurled in his life never played for a team so how he qualified to be over training of young people
I know the chap from snooker I use to travel up to cyms to play him usually beating by him he was good
Ah here, I think you should stop now.
Adam O ‘ Connor from James Stevens is certainly good enough to start on the U20s. Senior hurler of the year in St Kieran’s, Man of the match in U19 A county final last year, currently on senior James Stevens panel, the mind boggles.
Bill sheehan done as good as Ryan Scanlon brown and his own son
in 24years one boro player and all the success
you can count mullinavat as well they gave village some beatings and not one of them could make it take John Walsh top scorer in kilkenny for years
If you never hurled I could you train someone to hurl
Nun of thoose boro players on the panel in Cody’s time were ever good enough most of them were dropped after the Walsh cup or league was over bill sheehan got plenty of chances under Cody
Danny Glennon is certainly one who is good enough to start on the U20s. Yes, he had an injury which the county board told him to get sorted. He did and was left off the panel. He is hurling and playing football at the minute so that kind of makes a mockery of the situation.
You're only showing your own prejudice there! The only important question is whether he was any good at his role.
