Do we know was Cooke's absence injury related or was he given the weekend off?

I presume it was work related but am unsure. Nice position to be in if so knowing they would win and could leave Cooke workaway and just to have him back for connacht final onwards. Dessie lighting up the show. Is Fionn McDonagh worth a look by PJ? Must be about 6ft 5

Also Peter Cooke's cat had kittens. Think they should get a run as well .

Sure your suggestion is in a similar vein as a number other sharp shooters proposed on this stream, a bright future is in store surely!.

McDonagh was in with the development squad at the start of last year before getting injured.

Is he the same McDonagh who was on the Fitzgibbon teams of N.U.I.G. and UL over the past few years?.He is very tall if the same player, but looked far more accomplished with a stick in hand than the one who played in Pearse Stadium in Co Final.

One and the same and six foot seven in his stockings . In fairness he should probably have got a call in for the hurlers last year given that he won a Fitzgibbon with UL and had a decent club championship but didn't happen for whatever reason.

RIP to young Donie Halleran from Cortoon. A great goalkeeper on that 2019 minor team.

That's extremely shocking news from Cortoon.
Condolences to his family.
Played on their intermediate county winning team in 2020 with his uncle David Warde.
A great young goalkeeper with Tuam Celtic and Galway teams as well.
RIP Donie
