Wouldn't it be great to have a year that it's just the hurling we're talking about besides all the circus crap that went on the last couple of years.

I know I'm repeating myself, but this isn't a case of a set of young lads that we're hoping to bring through to the next level, this is a group of senior hurlers who won an All Ireland 2 years ago.

Last year there was problems as results showed but clare system when played correctly is more refined than most sweeper as clare score a lot. A lot of uncertainty until it's confirmed Kinnerk is coming back as it may be true or untrue. If Kinnerk comes back it does look better than last year surely. Clare have intermediate all ireland and under twenty one and senior winners. People don't Rate davy but Kinnerk rejoining would alleviate such concerns going forward Imo and of all the Munster counties clare would be better placed imo. I am not doubting problems don't need to be fixed. But all of the problems clare have imo can be fixed.

I agree with alot of what you are saying ttm in fairness but im just not sure about the last sentence.

If you take our squad, the first thing that would pop out at anybody would be the lack of ball winners. Its a huge shortcoming that means even un-physical teams like yours can dominate us on possession in winning ball like last year. Its something Davy has struggled to rectify meaning we have had to play a short game with players like CMcG withdrawn 60yrds from goal, Sod isolated, etc. With the exception of young Shanagher from the minors in a few years its all on Conlon and rarely Peter Duggan to win aerial ball.

I hope Kinnerk is coming back, because Davys decision not to go with a specialist trainer was a joke last year. If we can get our hurling and movement to a level we have had previously with Kinnerk, that would be really encouraging. I think we could definitely cause teams problems.

Miltown 0-13 - 0-09 Cooraclare

While little build up on here all week it was one of the most anticipated county finals to take place in years. cooraclare started as favorites but it was their opponents that started the brighter storming in to a 0-3 point lead in the first 8 minuets , the blues hit back with two points in by rory donnelly and pierse lillis but eoin clearys seccond of the game on the 11th minuet set the tone for the remainder of the half , miltown dominated possession and held an arms lenght 3 point lead until tomas downes pointed just before half time had the score 0-8 to 0-6 in miltowns favor

the quick paced first half was replaced with a tactical and defensive 2nd as both sides opted for caution as fatigue set in , damian bourke first and jack morrisey with the score of the game brought the sides level on 40mins , but when joe curtain, kevin keavey and cleary pointed with response jack daly was heading in only one direction

late controversy saw pierse illis see red for an off the ball incident while seconds later miltowwn were awarded a penalty which cleary chiped over the bar for the insurance point

damian bourke was probably the best for the losers while eoin cleary , joe curtain kerian malone kevin keavey and a serious performance by full back seanie malone was the difference for the winners , in front of a crowed of approx 7000

How do you think Miltown will do in Munster? They are down to play the winners of Limerick/Tipperary. Nice draw with the Kerry/Cork champs to play on the other side

They came close to beating Padi kissane's clada two years ago in the munster intermediate final beating the Kerry champions comfortabley along the way, I would think they would be good enough to get to the final but it's hard to know, I would expect the tipp champions to be very good considering the level of work they have put in in recent years

Newcastle West from limerick or clonmel commercials from Tipperary, not 100% sure but I think Miltown have home advantage aswell, that would give them a huge chance, against either the legion or dingle ( Kerry club winners) nemo ranger's or castleaven in Cork, with no disrespect to the Waterford champions

Boots234 · 18-10-2015 11:00PM

They will be away to the winners of Clonmel/Newcastle West on the 15th of November according to the Munster website

sixmilebridge 1-15 - 3-11 Na Piaersaigh

more munster disappointment for the bridge after surrendering a 9 point half time lead to the limerick champions , the tie turned with 10 minuets to go when a huge ronan lynch free albeit wind assisted leveled up the game to make it 1-14 to 3-08 the bridge were out scored 0-3 to 0-1 and from there on missing too frees and hitting the post in the process david dempsey , kevin downes and peter casey with the goals for NAP , cathal molone netted for the bridge , think it has to be notated too that this was sixmilebridge's first defeat of the year at senior level in all competitions which will be seen as a fair achievement in its self

wolfe tones had better luck in the IHC comfortably seeing off kilmoyley of kerry , big things expected from them from here on out they advance to face bruree from limerick in two weeks time

Big coup for the Banner men,Donal Og Cusack is coming on board as a coach and selector.

thinkstoomuch1 · 26-10-2015 03:17PM

It was confirmed by the media and is a superb move for davy but also as I have always said while davy yes at times can be he's own worst enemy he's not or never ever was as bad as he's own fans and indeed others made him out to be and he's a winner and with lit and also waterford the last man to get them to an all ireland and win munster and winning all ireland with clare and also was up north with Antrim Dunloy for a bit and he's very very good coach

Cusack joining him shows davy coaching is respected
What ever else goes on imo davy should only be judged on he's record and he's made mistakes but he's record is good and Cusack is a winner not a time waster and he's going to clare as he wants to win and belived they can

Cusack worry is no inter county record's but he's fast learner and the fact he was wanted with limerick by cunningjham as he's man is good sign
He coached colmans minor grade two and coached effective system that beat very good charville with some those charville lads winning the intermediate

Yes club and inter county is miles apart but he got the best out of he's team and player coached Cloyne to three county final

He's astute thinker and modern coach and will be all about high performance and having worked in Abbstown in the centre sports excellent excellence and being involved various committe he brings professional standards

He will also imo be good for davy and davy respects him as there similar characters and I think clare will be more discipline and davy will be better with media and not against referees as much

Clare have won four under twenty one all ireland and contested minor final lost by a point to kk and won intermediate all ireland and senior so there is a foundation of winners there and all clare need is harmony and unity and Cusack having seen problem in cork will know what to do and what not to do

He was excellent with colmans four night a week at times and young lads felt he was a great coach

Kinnerk not going to clare had worried me but Cusack is great choice now and as I posted on limerick thread Friday aonghus o brien limerick minor trainer was rated higly by players and Jerry Wallis is now there also and he's a clare man it's good for clare

Both davy and Cusack are against dual codes but know clare football won't be in championship long so they will facilitate
Clare also are doing all there training in clare and are moving from there winter base in ul in limerick where they were every winter so clare are making changes

They can definitely beat waterford next year and get to an all ireland series by winning that game there dangerous opponent

They will also target limerick home game in the league and i expect them to get promotion now over limerick as they will out think limerick

For all clare problem there the only team twice in the league to push kk all the way iin kk and the relegation battle kk treat like championship but even though clare had player out like kk they pushed them to the limit

There style of play with there attacking flow and pace and width will cause kk problem and I expect defence to be sorted under Cusack and imo there only team can beat kk next year
It's great for hurling as when it seemed kk would walk to a five in a row hurling has hope
He could win numerous all ireland but Cusack will never ever manage cork unfortunately

Two of cork hurling coaches cunningjham and Cusack are with other counties when ideally both should been in cork and cunningjham would brought Cusack in cork with him
I said when the draw was done i wanted to avoid clare and now Cusack is there I'm glad cork avoided clare.
Cusack has critsed Fitzgerald in the past but praised him where due so again it shows once you respect a coach is all that matters.
Imo this is good for clare.

Clare and Cork are the only teams not to beat Kilkenny in last years league.Dublin Galway and Tipp beat Kilkenny so where do you get this they (Clare) were the only ones to push Kilkenny.
As for Donal Og, he may or may not prove to be a good coach but if talking the talk is a prerequisite for being successful he has an outstanding chance of making a go of it. Not to sure about the other qualities though.

I don't think anybody can be sure as to the other qualities. His coaching resume in Cork so far is a minor B county title this year and nothing much else.

Not really a fair comparison though as KK were missing a lot of players for most of the league, Clare were the only team to play a full strength KK team in the league

I'm not on about es when other teams won when kk had no interest And cody even admitted this year he had to change he's approach to the early league games.
The relegation battle as you know kk were treating it like championship. No way were kk going to loose division one status at home yet clare pushed them all the way
There's no point in me trying to convince you other wise as it's well known anything cork you don't like which is fair enough but I'm sure clare will beat limerick in the league with Ryan in your view a great manager when clear logic and many on the limerick thread now have doubts involved and it's well known at this stage there's huge huge problem in limerick.
If I'd a choice Ryan or Fitzgerald or Cusack, we'll every and any day of the week I'd choose the two lads.
And before you ask what has limerick to do with it, considering clare play them in the last division two games in what will be a promotional final imo limerick should be mentioned as what happens in clare will affect limerick.
And just before you try and do the status quo as you do I have absoultey nothing nothing against Ryan and I rate him as a hero as a player but like many limerick fans now I judge him as a manager and he's only current role is management in limerick.

I totally agree but look this poster is totally against anything cork and imo has no problem praising teams that he doesn't see as a danger
It's kk yerra imo
He rates limerick Ryan etc when does nothing absoultey nothing at senior.
Jbm has beaten cody twice yet he tried to convince me once Ryan was better management.
That was the day I realised he's opinion would differ from mine.

Back to the topic in hand clare had problems missing key players but never gave up in kk in relegation battle and were unlucky.
Limerick this year with a man down and huge indiscipline limerick struggled to win.
There's no doubt there discipline problem and davy made mistakes no doubt but this with o brien joining and Collins and galvin coming back i think davy will be more mellow this year and realise he needs have discipline if he wants he's team to.

What do you make of the appointment?

I would say he's been in high performance in Abbstown Dublin for a bit
With Cloyne ten years ago playing and coaching and still learning but Cloyne got three county final

Colmans I agree is only b team grade but it was the system and the fact no right on paper to beat charville but they did

Not any doubt he's has a lot to prove and I would be worried he's no inter county coaching but he's pundits style always assessed games well in advance and prior to clare winning the last all ireland he said no direct physical style would win an all ireland outside kk and then clare won with the posession game

From he's cork time but from watching kk he's imo wise to know that no team will ever out physical kk or beat them man for man but you need a system
It's like trying to beat the all black with fifteen man rubgy.
It won't work.
Clare were scoring hugely last year and that won't be a problem once defence is sorted and discipline clare will be very hard to beat imo.
Anything Cusack was involved in he brings professional standards so this is a great move for them.
Fitzgerald knew he was on he's last legs he was gone this year and rightly so if he's no success but this gives him hope.
The appointment of aonghus o brien a clare man should be welcomed also.

http://www.eveningecho.ie/sport/cork-sport/donal-og-cusack-leaves-rte-and-gpa-to-join-clare-hurlers-in-2016/1138283/
They have added payne from waterford as s and c and was with the high performance in boxing in the past and with the waterford hurlers and would have also worked and learned from renowned coach pat flangan ex waterford, and kerry football and Cork trainer last year in football.
It does with the addition of o brien look like a good set up in management.

Clare have two key games to target, one is limerick in the league and one is waterford in thurles both games they are well capable of winning.
clare imo have nothing to fear from waterford in yes there solid and defensive but imo that's all they have at the moment.
The other point is waterford have won a minor but haven't won at under twenty one and seem to struggle at times with favourite tags where as clare have beaten kk twice in under twenty one all ireland, won four, intermediate title and lost a minor to a higly rated kk about six year ago.
This team has already won a senior all ireland.

I think clare under Cusack coaching there will be games where things don't look good but the end will justify the means in they won't say it but there is only two games they will be primed for, one is limerick in the league at home.

Win there and it's likely promotion.
Beat waterford and even loose a munster final there just three games from an all ireland.
Clare would imo benefits from being beaten in a munster final and going through the quater final stage and if any time to beat kk it's in an all ireland semi final rather than a final.
If clare get the momentum of a rare munster championship semi final win they will imo take beating.

letowski · 26-10-2015 05:51PM

Cusack was probably the best goalie when it came to puck out strategies, something Clare badly struggle with due to the type of player we have. Hope he can help here at least.

And they really backed that up in the championship with a seriously impressive win v Offaly.

This decision could be either a brilliant win or a spectacular failure. There's no real in between here I feel. Donal Og certainly does have an interesting take on things and his attitude to self improvement is impressive and likely to endear him to young lads who are motivated to get every extra edge.

Very interesting choice by the Clare County Board as they get a lot of criticism here for their stewardship. Donal Og has been very outspoken about Corks county board, you would think that if he's not happy then he may target them. But then again, as mentioned he may be getting substantially reimbursed to coax him from RTE and given Davy has the conflict of interest there (notably the only party between here and the moon that he hasn't blamed for the failure the past two years is the Clare CB) he might be advised not to do so.

Given that, and the fact that Podge Collins is back and neither like the idea of a dual player (as was alluded to) there's already potential for tension and an off the field media circus. What happens if Podge walks again? Donal Og has been an arch defender of Davy the last couple of years but you'd have to say given the number of players that have left the panel in the past couple of years, and also the Cratloe Selector and Kinnerk you would say he doesn't have the best working relationship with many of them and given they are both very outspoken there is a strong potential for conflict there too.

From a coaching point of view, a tactical outlook, looks like a good choice. If the emphasis were to be on avoiding the off field distractions that have no doubt heavily hindered Clare these past two years, it's far from a safe choice.

Clareman · 26-10-2015 09:00PM

The fact of the matter is Clare have to get to at least an All Ireland Semi Final or Davy has to walk, Podge coming back and Donal Óg coming on board are great votes of confidence, but these are the All Ireland Champions from 2 years ago, they need to produce a decent year.

great result , thats there 2nd title in 3 years in that competition , the encouraging aspect is the spread of clubs that the players are coming from , while cork and kerry dont take part in this competition , tipperary have been one of the leading counties in underage over the last 5 or 6 years we are starting to compete on there level now going toe to toe with them at minor and u21 level of late , there has been great progress made in underage football in the last few years here

could be hard watching clare v waterford if cusack gets davy to go back to sweeper system. could be double sweepers on both teams.thought clare might throw off the shacles and hurl.this appointment looks the opposite to me.games sre won by players on the pitch (not by coaches on a blackboard).

At what point was there a "double sweeper" on the Waterford team last year? And what do you mean go back to the sweeper system? At what point did Clare dispense with it?

keeponhurling · 26-10-2015 11:37PM

Honestly, Davy gets himself so worked up on the sideline and spends so much abusing the ref and the officials.
Hardly surprising he can't be calm and make the right switches when needed.

Cusack might bring a bit of calm to the sideline ??
I don't think he's gonna stick around if his ideas aren't being taken on board
