When I posted in the past that in my opinion that at times there was bias in the underage set up I was vilified. The fact is it is all about who you know. This is one of the fundamental causes of lack of underage success in Cork in the last decade. Its only lately that there have been changes. Inconsistency in continuity between age grouop has also not helped.

Amazing with all the talk about burnout that good youngsters are still being expected to play so many matches and train, has to have some effect
seventh7 wrote: » Its a very delicate balance between confident and Cocky. Lots of kids lack confidence and with coaches that look for kids with confidence and swagger these kids can be sidelined. It should be about nurturing and bringing them on seeing the possibility for development down the line. We have a non physical mindset in Cork hurling, we think that we are the aristocrats of hurling as in the past we have been, our skill levels usually helped to get over the line against more robust apponents. The game has moved on driven by the likes of Klkenny. We have favoured lighter wristy underage hurlers over the more robust can do kids. Our underage results show this stark fact. By limiting the selection process we have compacted our player base. Team selection must be about balance and unfortunatley at underage level the balance has been ignored for many years now. Kids grow and develope at different times and the slower maturing kids have been marginalised. The academy structure has helped in recent years but it still promotes underage stars. It has been the experience of other sports namely soccer that very few kids make the grade at the top level, therefore the broader the player base the better chance of bring through kids to senior level.
