Good luck to all Cork Schools and hopefully Youghall can join Rochestown in Harty semis - weather could be problem again

don't know how Clonakilty are but surely a fighting chance against Killorglin do I think there a repeat schools so would have a lot on the age

Some acheivemen if Richestown get to S/f but I think twill spoil them for hurling if it hey do but the lads have to have theire chance at football too - Tis hurling will suffer the lovngerthere at the football
There record at football last few years desperate apart from Frewen last year but it's a talented group of lads so they could do to again tomorrow

Anyone at them might put up a write up

Rocjestown lads any injury worries regards football lads involved hurling from last Thursday ?I

TTM any update on the good news you alluded to for Cork football last week?

Not that I know

Rochestown has enough bad luck last year losing key players before Doon game , at least this year they have Meaney coming back after horrific ankle break and fair play to him showing great hunger

There due a rub if the green after last year

Sound for that

[ote="Smith614;9"]And when exactly were thccasions?[thote]

Without meaning to sound like his biggest fan considering i only know his hurling credibility maybe it's comments like that that turns hurlers off inter county hurling do you actually know his hurler career up to now? I'll say the following and I'll say no more about him. I care about cork hurling in general not just aspects of it.
He's been player with cork underage since he was 14 winning the all Ireland with the under 16s scoring something like 4 29 in 2 games ( feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) below in tipp. he was starting on the minor team by the age of 16 and by 17 basically carried them through alot of the games (my nephew played with him for minors saw most games ). With his club after being held up neck by his minor trainer at the time (can't remember his name retired this year thank god) he continked to play minor with him above him. he managed to play through the whole intermediate championship with a broken toe (ballyhea back room team source confirmed this) and yes he only showed a fraction of what he's made of for the championship but delivered the goods in the pairc in the final when he was needed most. Still only showing a fraction of what he is made of. Now if u know any other hurler who'll continue hurler with a broken toe name them.people question his commitment and ambition what more proof can you need if he is willing to play through it. If anyone who sees him play regular you might notice he is actually more suited to centre back! Anyone see him play with an interferm team can't remember who the name of team was but saw one match in limerick and by god he was a rock cleaning up. I can't speak of what he is like off the pitch but on the field i believe he has done nothing but show serious potential. Isn't he just 19? He has the build the hands the head he always can make his own scores! Him and lehand together would be gold dust or even better have him as our centre back!!! There are serious young players in Cork but i have to stand by my beliefs and say he hands down has the most potential and talent.
Why do none of care he could win matches for us lads! I'd say it's because he's from a country club and ye don't see any of it only believe what whispers ye hear maybe?? If he was from city club playing regularly with the likes of Sars, Blackrock, would ye care more? Possibly yes! Now I've enough said let the after math begin.

I wouldn't be despairing just yet - As you say he is turning 20 this year and hopefully plenty of time for him ina cork Jersey

Beautiful striker of ball, for sure, great wrists

He can't be picked if he doesn't make himself available - fellas that age can get distracted but hopefully that will change

being from a city club would make no difference whatsoever

Clonakilty won today also and the Cork teams are on opposite sides of the draw with Clon playing Chorca Dhuibhne and Rochestown playing St. Brendans. well done to both today

St Francis Rochestown 1-9 Col.Na Sceilge 2-5 Result
I might be 1 point out but Rochestown won it anyway.............blame the pig ignorant Kerry supporters ( happy couple) who stood in front of my car and wouldn't budge so I might have missed a wide or a point.
Good conditions and perfect sod which is a credit to the Knocknagree Club.
H.T score St.Francis led 1-5 to 2-1 having lorded possession but full back line caught for cuteness and failed to deal with
No 13 Darren Casey who is a little bullet with a scorching turn of pace and full of Kerry tricks. The two goals were well worked but against the run of play and against a slight breeze. NO 8 Mark Sugrue for Scellig is a giant who can also play football and he won everything that came in his direction.
2nd half Daniel Meaney came on at M.F and Sugrue was no longer the boss in that area. St.Francis also moved No 7 Sean Powter closer to goal and he gave an exhibition of of defensive play as well neutralising No 13 Casey. He's not tall, but he is a gifted operator and I remember seeing him last year in Thurles v Dublin minors where he almost turned back the blue tide on his own.
Shane Kingston (Capt) wore No 11 and was influential without being dominant. He's a class act and as well as scoring two or three points from play he converted all his frees bar one late in the game. He it was that laid it on a plate for No 12 Evan Ryle to score his goal mid way through the 1st half.
Nice to see a Cork team beat a Kerry team for a change but they will have to tighten up at the back if they are to go any further IMHO.
Ref.Derek O Mahony ( Tipp) seemed to be on top of his job and apart from the usual missed jersey pulls he dealt with all transgressions fairly and it wasn't a free ridden game by any means. He flashed the Yellow card at three Kerry lads, 7, 9 and 12 while Cork's 4 and 6 have Yellow on their CVs after today.

Some achievement for Rochestown to be in both semis

McDonnell is very unlikely to cut the socks off anything Cork while doing an interview for a Cork paper.

BTW..........Kissane was the quickest player on that Cork panel, and if some lad from Clare was faster in one moment in time, so be it.

Totally agree regards Mcdonall
Imo he was hand picked play optimist card


Kisswne was good at a time but time I reference he clearly lacked pace and should not started nor should be brought on v Dublin as game changer when he in goal missed chance

Commitment passion drive hunger want desire one hundred ten lee cent

But he imo was poor one v one defender even I'm all star year imo lucky get it where cork got more defenders imo as based on that when forward should got one he had be subbed v down as was been given a tough time

Granted he'd one superb outing v kerry kicking brilliant scores I felt he's time passes cork had better after 2010

He was good footballer nothing special but will be great manager absolutely imo top class


Brilliant report match earlier

Will rochedtowm beat breadan??
Beat them last year frewn cup

Didn't make game yesterday, talking few today who did though
Yoghal no surprise at all ran castletroy close I expected they would and thought they would win but didn't but my concern all year was lacked scoring power up front bar Dalton and the half back line was meant been very good but rock they perishes on was no forwards bar Dalton
Dalton scored almost everything from dead balls apparently with he's trade mark side line balls
He's brilliant at those, I saw him score one in earlier group game he's terrific at them
I'd certainly have him taking one with cork late in games if needed be despite being in goal



Dalton got nothing from play so definitely this year didn't score much from play so imo has be cork goalie won't be half forward based in harty cup performances

They led all match mostly.
After half time went five point no reply , well control and then Nash like lynch was other day difference in a goal and gave them momentum late game

Cathal deane and Kevin Murphy two under seventeen this year with another year left school next year definitely ones watch as they have had outstanding season at half back for youghal and club killeagh all year


Youghal lacked scoring forward all year from play but they had any one of gunning, o reilly, looney, Kingston any one them that score from play they would been better this year
Youghal can't be faulted they have given terrific performance as a team all year and they really punching above their weight

They will improve next year but must add two forwards but with deane and Murphy half back they will have strong half back line

I have felt since start  castletroy despite being favoured to win harty, I don't think they can win it and this team is beatable and Thurles imo will beat them as Thurles while dint have great forward have better than yoghal and Butler is one for example
There hanging on in games great sign spirt and fight but shows they have struggled in games and can't see them winning it outright
A well coached but limited doon team relied too much Barry Murphy beat them, Colmans width crossbar apparently prevented a draw, beat ag point despite ag making poor side line call and they just left it later yesterday
There never beaten attitude must be hugely complimented as great have but at latter stages of competition they will need more
They are fine team up to forwards but here they are in trouble as seen by majority scores from frees once Nash is held
Nash has been good this year but by he's own high standard bit below what you would expect
He's a terrific hurler imo



One fix is Andrew La touch moving up half forward like earlier games but they loose hugely at half back then also
Young Nicholas is terrific talent but he's very young so it's unfair to expect him to be main man yet outside Nash but in time he will be


The results this week show two things
Gap changed considerably between cork limerick school last two days compared to last year while cork minors have more talent this year with much better management imo


Is there physiological advantage to limerick over cork now at minor over this week's results ?!
Imo no in hammies beaten have just one cork minor Chris o leary, ard scoil could have four

Yoghal have two,Dalton be In goal, and o brien
O brien meant have had brilliant game on Nash bar the goal
Nash corner back and Nicholas may make limerick set up but you add in experience Barry Nash lorcan Lyons and Cosgrove yet team struggle long periods, think nothing from that team from limerick view that worries me
All those three like lynch game breakers are over age and those four were pivots I'n their terms victory last two days

Yes mackey and grimes ard scoil outstanding but they face likes Kingston and possibly csshman two qualities players inter county standard they didn't face v hammies in those lads with hammies not cork minors
Peter casey will need watching yes but smith can do a man marking job no bother
Flanagan may not be involved but if he does join cork have plenty mark him

I just feel cork have better forwards and more depth this panel and ring was alway going be judged year two

Also shows difference in poor management and astute management
Yoghal fine team but ag better forwards yer couldn't beat limerick team and much more experience also but yoghal came so close despite having no scoring potency from play

Colmans young team ran them close

Good coaching got every last inch out yoghal this year they done everything they could and deserve immense credit like hsmmies and rochedtowm who prove that but poor coaching cost ag against tburles and castletroy, like it cost very very talented midelton team also


There is a few of youghal team that eligible next year

Cork minor hurling have great chance beat them twice if needs be as what harty cup has proved all teams left is good coaching is king
And cork minor hurling imo has best coaching set up this year bar even par with tippereaty than limerick
April can't come fast enough

So just one cork team left but all three other teams could won bar hsmmies who better team won with ard scoil but Thurles ag game while Thurles played better ag selection was all over shop lads out position and lost by point
Yoghal lost but firm control game
Credit castletroy  they never gave up immense credit due
Normally limerick teams beaten such ways but credit due they done youghal what other limerick teams suffered in past in terms come backs


School hurling in cork this year improved
Cork cleaned up munster under sixteen all three grades bar d grade won by crescent limerick in munster school this year
Midelton got all Ireland final beaten extra time of the dean Ryan by exceptional good counsel with brilliant coach kilkenny declan wall

In the harty cup grade cork have team in semi final
Limerick have two yes but two cork teams lost by a point
In b grade spipraid naoimh or clonakilty who meet quatre final will make one semi final all cork affair as play old christian cork in semi final with Michael o hallorhan and Billy hennessehy

Chriost ri play cause way other semi so good chance cork will win b grade
Limerick teams are all out this competition

In c grade blarney and kinsale are opposite side of semi final draw and could have cork team I'n the final
What hugely significant is mtichestown a notorious football school ran borreslogh tippereary all the way to three points last week
They won munster under sixteen this year and making huge strides hurling under Anthony Nash and noel Crowley was meant be going do some work school also

Harty cup win is pinnacle cork must strive get but huge improvement at all levels this year school but one year no good must be sustainable improvements make long term gains and not one step forward ten steps back as been previously sad story cork schools
A lot done but plenty plenty more to do
The work is paying off this year but still it needs more resources and more money imo and more gdos
All work done this year, still shows how far cork hurling fell in there's still work to do




Rochedtowm imo can make the final and I'd certainly not fear the teams on other side, imo Thurles have better chance on that side but I don't see them winning it
Ard scoil imo would beat castletroy and Thurles as niall moran such astute coach he'll learned from the ist game and ronan lynch will not be forward but will be midfield or half back

Hugely disappointed youghal loose by point but not huge huge setback either in terms yoghal over achieved getting this far
Major disappointed imo has be midelton and ag who didn't fulfil potential on playing field imo over being led by poor management

I'f what I'm hearing is true that will change in midelton for the better next year I'n terms harty cup school management

Wacko brilliant report tremendous win for the rochedtowm football team and congrats to them and clonakilty great win also. Two cork teams left in it is good news for cork schools in beat two kerry schools
Cork minor football has an abundance talent but imo poor management this year will fail this group as it's miles behind what jack is doing with kerry
Kerry embracing innovation cork set imo gone too old school in its ways

Hope no injuries from yesterday
Great news is win but fact meaney got half football again today huge huge bonus to hurling fitness wise and fact he curved the kerry giant will add confidence In last week as sub made huge impact in hurling
Yes hurling sharpness different football but he's fitness I think he'll be fine and well and we'll able to for least one half against ronan lynch ard scoil
Even they got one half out meaney huge bonus and I think signs are good as time hurling now
Huge win
That power wacko agree he have given huge display v Dublin but was also brilliant v kerry as was Kevin flahive who imo gave exhibition full back play v callaghan Dublin and Spillane kerry and imo cuthbhert should Brough him training panel like jbm done with minors and given him run out v trench cup opposite Mary I and he wouldn't start this year but id given him game time
Much better play him corner back then likes o donoughge who out position and much better give him time than likes hazel etc
I said this before but cork football is actually in the next three years going to suffer like hurling from no full back coming through like when rock left unless they get ready for the future today
Cadogan and shields imo have bout two years tops imo at full back left in games so faster and cork need groom a future full back
They at least need cover
Any good manager would realise this and have flahive outstanding talent training senior team imo if he's available of course to train

Joe kavnagh joined senior panel nineteen and rock in hurling as did the great great I mean really really great now Brian cococran

The downside is if joined current set up he'd make no improvement as no coach work with
Flahive imo won't develop at senior Douglas team under tony leen as a manager kerry fans I ask don't rate him
The good news is the awesome awesome coaching of gene o driscoll and the brilliant Sean Hayes will improve him imo

Confidence dual stars have will be good for rochedtowm to take hurling but I fear as the season goes on the dualism will catch up with them sooner or later

As for annon post regards pa callaghan I agree most it in he's awesome hurler five county final points proved that and the stats from under age career than annon said shows he great talent
Yes it was just intermediate but it was more nature of the scores rather than the scores themselves in winning ball out air over wing launch sublime points
He's discipline is something he needs work on at times but shows he has real bite and cut to he's hurling unlike cork hurlers in the past




He won't play cork this year and said before by poster the time to stop asking him has passed and I agree
I don't blame pa as he's decision but jbm can't be asking or begging him again and again, he asked him many times last year and this year but declined so be fair jbm so much only he can do
I wouldn't ask him again I'll let him make first move

As for inter firm?? he plays with response engineering company that clare man tony considne is with or was as in some management role I think or director role
I'm not sure but he was involved with them in some role in the past

Same company that noel hickey, quaid two mulchay played for and few ballyhea lads also this year
They lost cork final cork guards
Pa callaghan indeed played centre back and was outstanding at centre back and then moved up chasing game to centre forward for the second half where he was marked by Ray Ryan
Pa callaghan would be brilliant centre back but no way cork need him as senior one in loads lads like Joyce,Barry, Murphy. Ellis all fine there but huge addition as ball winning half forward who can score and run, has pace , tough inside take give hits, he's great striking and elusive and, great hand, and proper coaching he'd be awesome imo as he'd be much better than current options in lawton, cian mac, kelleher, Andy Walsh, frahill o Connor put together
They can or have been cork panel for while and bar kelleher scope for improvement is imo not as much as callaghan has
And while kelleher Coul if hurling alone be very good hurler callaghan is just different class altogether to most imo bar Lehane



One year imo at senior this Lad would just go to another level, absolutely no doubt I have imo
I always believed that
He so good if he was on the panel I said in October I'd have no problem starting him v kilkenny in the league

He won't play under twenty one hurling but I wouldn't rule out just totally,unlikely but you never know in Liam Hayes may have huge bearing in he may join that set up as Hayes would be just over road from him In dromina and local man and huge respect Hayes has he may be persuaded to commit to a shorter season


If cork had pa callaghan and sorted full back I'd think have huge chance all Ireland this year as even if did not start he's hugely strengthen the cork bench and would be real real possible game changed

Very good read imo

http://www.eveningecho.ie/sport/2015/01/21/hurlers-showing-the-appetite-for-the-hard-yards/

I think yes he's right most team player tippereary will start in summer but I'd sincerely hope that tactical mess and playing players out of positions is not replicated any time soon

From that game imo Nash will start
O Neill
Cahalane or Joyce
Mcdonall
Murphy Ellis and lorcan

Kearney Walsh
Lehane only as a ten if not might well stay at home
Management fault playing him in full forward


Copper
Harnedy
Cardogan
Spillane could be like cadogan last year get start year one
I said cadogan last year had start even in February
I am the same opinion with Anthony Spillane in the future imo is made for this stage

The final place imo would be
Luke o farell or paudie unless horgan wakes up and actually delivers from play
So like I said last August possible two new faces three at most but crucial will be solving full back
Cahalane is front runner but Joyce showed enough the last day and actually very strong air, robust and aggressive and play standing tall than leaving forward clean him out to really be looked at this year and no way he's corner back but centre or full he's really option imo
Another man played wrong position at start and like wise at club level and deserve immense credit bouncing back as two years ago he was  played as midfielder for cork when he has neither pace or guile for it but is outstanding half or possible full back
Dabbled bit boxing under age so has toughness within
Pat mulchay gave interview before where he said rated him highly. That's good enough for me
I have always been terrjfic fan this player as he's a hurler but a warrior within imo

http://www.the42.ie/darren-sweetnam-cork-munster-1894335-Jan2015/
No great surprise
It'd been know for at least year he had only interest to rugby, even not stayed I'n munster he'd went some club In England


Some loss to cork hurling yes had rough edges but he's ability to break tackle, run hard and direct in to contact and come out other side , athleticism and pace hed been brilliant
Remember watching him on junior rugby world cup and against Fiji and a black, tough physical opponent ability break tackle was very good
Where would cork play imo
Half back
If cork had him hed be unreal as jbm would develop him but landers specific type new power training he doing with cork would be ideal for him, landers all about power and pace and break the ist tackle
League will tell if it's working

Weak enough team imo particularly at half forward and midfield
Cork won't beat clare with that team, Ellis, Kearney,sullivan, horgan cronin particular Harnedy have been used win

Midfield very weak and he forward line kelleher is pick but we have two lads flanking him, one who hasn't mobility and lawton hasn't cut for senior hurling so huge ask imo put kelleher in likely be strong clare unit
Imo like asking plane land one engine despite turbulence ahead
In one man half forward line won't beat clare with sweeper

I get feeling this is last audition time for some and cork play ballyhale Sunday in Waterford it at 2


I'm not too bothered rest team in good Cahalane getting full back time credit jbm
That half back line and half forward lime won't start championships but worry is lawton and cian be on the panel when cork need depth next year

Ah Jez JBM should have had a stronger team for this match. It would have been a good workout but that cork team isn't up to much. Half forward line won't have Clare worried in any way.

I'd agree that team will need changes fast to win
What you make kelleher is he worth league spot??
Would you think Murray up to it?

I think its good yere looking at alot of players though, its only the Waterford Crystal. There is definetly talent there. Do ye have another game this weekend for the rest of the panel?

Clare will probably play split their panel in two again this weekend and play another challenge game soon after, so they might not be that strong either. I think it will be a competitive game, worth heading to Mallow to see fringe players anyway.

Playing Ballyhale on Sunday.

Ballyhale Sunday 2 in Waterford


They played a bruzing encounter last Sunday with wit, bonnar link would got that game
Majority big stars played and talk is they will play strong team v cork as they are treating Galway side gort like real banana skin leaving nothing to chance
I expect cork have very strong team for that with like Ellis Kearney Walsh who's injury isn't as bad could been, horgan, paudie, cronin Harnedy are apparently line to play


It remain be seen will Lehane o she's, cadogan Murphy and Spillane be released by ucc

Wexford then next Saturday 31 st in cit

So three games left before the league but be great have four
Credit due opponent picked in challenge matches been good choices
Just imo watch football opponent cork pick imo it's going to be some poor poor opponent now

Last Friday mtichestown cbs lost munster c under 18.5 munster quatre final to Joseph borrsleigh tippereary 1-12 to 2-6
I wasn't at it but talk Is mtichestown pushed them all the way

St Joseph are hurling school and clubs strong like toomerva, borreslogh, templederry make up their team where mtichestown football strong hold are making waves with mtichestown relying on in ballygiblin, glanworth, skeenarimky etc

Mtichestown team was

Ian Butler killdorrey keeper in munster under sixteen winning c team at under sixteen half and has two years left senior
John Fitzgerald killdorrey
John o donoughge ballygiblin
James meaney glanworth
Eoin o mahony glenroe
Jamie o gorman killdorrey
Caelach hennessehy skeenarimky
John Ryan skeenarimky
Colin English fr sheehys
John landers glanworth
Dean Barry ballygiblin
James mullins ballygiblin
Adrian English skeenarimky captain munster winning under sixteen team November
John sullivan glanworth
Michael maher skeenarimky

Subs

James keating killdorrey centre back munster under sixteen b winning team

Jack coughlan glanworth half back munster under sixteen winning c team last November

George pendle ballygiblin real prospect outstanding in munster under sixteen c win apparently goal as sub last day got 1-5 under sixteen final
He's footballer too was cork development squad
Michael lewis ballygiblin

Great see likes football schools making break through in hurling and likes Anthony Nash isn't just doing cork hurling huge huge service on the field of play but doing trojian work with various school teams in mtichestown cbs currently and helping develop the next generation hurling talented and while most may not play for cork, it will help avondu who haven't won senior since 96 or around and if even produced one hurler cork team at most grades been tremendous achievement

Great see school like mtichestown this grade make break through, rochedtowm in harty make break through and hammies like wise also who were normally football schools but good see them do well at hurling

Be great if it was vice versa also hurling school made progress football
Imo depends numbers in if numbers are big enough it may be possible to do both codes, as dualism being successful I's imo a very very tall ask unless you have huge depth as trying to do both with the same core group of players imo is very tough ask now in modern game where most school they have ex inter county players or current players coaching so standards school gaa imo has risen last few years across most grades
Mtichestown will be in munster b grade under sixteen and Half next year and difficulty imo they may have is they have few of any this year team eligible and the b grade is tough enough

The under eighteen c team with few last year winning under sixteen c munster team should be strong though imo once Nash still coaches them but he should be there hopefully
