Don't think he has ever taken the full manager role though. He was a selector/coach with all those teams

The first half was very promising, second half the wheels came off the wagon altogether. A lot of young lads given debuts. Early days, a good few players to come back and possibly a couple of more young lads will be given debuts next weekend vs Antrim as well.

Galway had a very experimental side out, possibly 2-3 recognisable names, Walsh Cup about blooding players, we're not going to win it obviously and it's much better preparation than the Kehoe Cup, Antrim match looks a possibility to win with 6-7 presumably of their players club tied. Laois and Offaly had decent displays today. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 08/01/2023 19:42:34 2451587 Link 0 |

Mcinerney,Whelan,Tuohy and Niland are regulars and all of the others All Ireland minor medalists ,the likes of O Shea Cooney and Lawless multiple winners.Galways strength in depth is unmatched even by Limerick.What matters in 2023 for the hurlers is survival in division 1 a scalp in the championship and a big run for the under 20s.

Spot on Jobber. Important year for the u20s. A good few of the u20s played yesterday. Are Darragh McCormack and David O'Reilly apart of the senior panel for the Walsh Cup does anyone know? Two of the stronger u20 players. No Delvin player played a part yesterday either I noticed. Darragh Clinton and Josh Coll surely involved?

How does Galway's strength in depth better Limerick? One All Ireland in 35 years versus 4 in 5 years and Limerick have rarely been able to field a full team, key men injured such as Peter Casey and Cian Lynch last year and they could introduce Conor Boylan and Mike Casey to their starting fifteen. All Ireland minor medalists is a fairly poor currency, virtually worthless as any Galway man could tell you. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 09/01/2023 15:59:41 2451743 Link 0 |

Worthless to you maybe but not to the rest of us.I am talking about 2023 and believe Galway have serious strength in depth.Shefflin has the squad to win the All Ireland whether they achieve that only time will tell.If he played Neiland in my opinion they would have beaten Limerick in the semi final as the free taking cost them the game. Are Jogger, Aonghus,Cormac Boyle and Glennon injured? jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1445 - 09/01/2023 17:48:56 2451768 Link 0 |

Maybe worthless to some but success in adult GAA usually only comes after underage championship wins.Shefflin has a squad fit to win an All Ireland and would have beaten Limerick in last years semi final if he had Neiland on the frees. Are Jogger,Aonghus,Cormac Boyle and Glennon injured? jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1445 - 09/01/2023 20:39:54 2451786 Link 0 |

I believe Aonghus Clarke and Tommy Gallagher are both taking a year out. Glennon, Boyle, Jogger are coming back. Not sure about Robbie Greville Gary Greville, Ciaran Doyle and Darragh Clinton but I'm sure they are involved. We've lots of young lads on the panel for the Walsh Cup so hopefully Joe Fortune finds a couple and holds on to them for the national league.

Aonghus, Cormac Boyle, Liam Varley all gone travelling for a few months, with split season would think it makes it unlikely they'll be available for county, prob back for club action in August. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 10/01/2023 11:31:31 2451829 Link 0 |

Unfortunately Darragh McCormack is out for the year he had an operation on his knee he done his ACL from the Castletown Match last year. Big Loss for Club.

It's a lengthy recovery time for such an injury, I wasn't aware he did his ACL. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery and we will see him back on the pitch in good health very soon.
