Other than Fr O'Neills the other clubs with players involved have done nothing at this age group. Dwane has been involved with the development squads at this level so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Midleton CBS were over represented on the Cork sides.

Whichever it's all very disappointing

Don't try to make out I'm personally attacking these individual kids I'm sure they are devastated to be out, but unfortunately it does raise questions and comments I was of course absolutely right to hope that Castletroy would've opened the door wider for AG if they had beaten Doon last time out, I was right too realising Colmans despite their best efforts and great fight were unlikely to come out of the group so my hope was for the best Cork team to progress rather than to do another one down - you chose to twist that sentiment for your own reasons - I'd have been delighted if they both progressed If you can find a minor who can equal Shane Kingstons talent and ability I suggest you get him onto both minor panels asap, he'd be a phenomenal asset I love the way when you are convinced you're right you declare your opinions as fact I'm not arguing the toss with you any more because in your tomes you say everything and end up saying nothing talking in riddles and circles with ridiculous hyperbole, all down to your opinion declared as fact and some of which is built around hearsay, I have no particular interest in players' 3rd cousins once removed, their mothers maiden name or their favorite colour socks You have forensic knowledge of some aspects of Cork and Limerick GAA - and you put huge time and energy into it - fair play to you - but you have no respect for anyone who has a Different opinion to you, this isn't your blog, it's a forum for shared opinion and debate - I think you've lost the run of yourself. Some of my quips were attempts at humour, irony, sarcasm even - it seems you didn't get them Just a bit of light to break up the intensity

I am glad Saich played well as he has potential perhaps not in a central role. Condon for me has been their best player when I saw him in the summer with development squads he appeared light and very easily dispossed. He was developed an edge to his game and improved no end. Colman's will be very competitive next year as they measured well in all games. The Ag management has me baffled at times. I completely agree that Eddie gunning should always mark the main player or scoring threat as this kid is like a fungus for an opponent he sticks tight and he is seldom passed or turned. He is quite simply in another league and should very soon be playing in he bigger league. Lordan and Co must get down to studying and use O grady in a greater role. No doubt O Grady was instrumental in having Aherne and Lee on the 45. From what I saw in Mallow I would make a slight change to this arragement I would reverse the positions. I would play Aherne in the centre forward position with Lee left or right feeding off him. This kid will break ball all day and distrubute rather than take his own scores. For me the score of the game came from aherne winning dirty ball on the far wing he stroked a pass across the field to O' Leary who found lee on the right wing, who hit a peach of a point. It happened so fast it was unreal. Having hanafin in a floating role was a good idea but I feel he lacks scoring threat and the Braham would be a better option in this role. Nothing to say about the inside line, Gunning is on fire and sheehan's movement is excellent. At times he is a little tentative but he is only 15 years old. He is some talent. Its been a long wait for the Mon AG but they will worry any side left in the competition. The back line is solid with O' Donovan and Walsh anchored by O' Callaghan and Gunning. The ingredients are there to deliver something special for the northside school but the coaches need to be aware that suicide moves like substuting an influential player like aherne with 15 minutes to go are not allowable. Robbie quirke was very quick to exploit the freedom and tapped over 2 points from half back. When they review the stats O Grady will point out the number of blocks, hooks and possesion gained it will be evident that in the first half alone Aherne had more possesion of the sliothar than any other player on the pitch. If this was soccer kids like Sheehan, the brothers Gunning, Aherne, would be priceless. The orchestra is only as good as the conductor so for the AG coaches well done but will need to be sharper with the game plans and awareness of what they have.

And believe it or not, those players have been on Cork squads longer than Dwane's development squad involvement. Dwane just has a crappy training record. Every team he takes over goes backwards.

Thurles are a good side but play open game so suit ag I'd love twas castetroy they got. There completely beatable once you pick the correct team and set up it correctly Sheehan like you said will be a terrific player

I would nearly worry about over training in that you can't possibly keep that going for a full year. 7 months training before Championship starts? Waterford are currently doing the same in WIT. There all in breach of the training ban the past few weeks but the players aren't submitting expenses so technically it doesn't count as organised training as they all just happened to go to the same place at the same time.
