If you are looking for "big names" to entice players we'll I'd rather not have them players.. Kevin O'Brien and Johnny Greville have done enough for hurling within the County to have the respect of the players. That's the kind of attitude that has us where we are.

It's good to see Johnny and Kevin with the u14s, plenty of talent there with that group but having the likes of the two lads involved would bring a great deal of knowledge, wisdom and professionalism to the table. Of course you could see both of them with the seniors also, but you have to say that for the long term having them involved with our underage teams for the next couple of years is more important. Attracting an outside name might not be the worst thing in the world if its a good one and they can bring the seniors on further in the next 2/3 years. Then maybe give Johnny and Kevin a shot at it when the young players they've been working with start to come on through. We added five u20s this year to the team, next year I expect another 3 or so. We have to keep that consistent. Between the 2017 u21 team and this year's u20s, we haven't had many come through so it's important to keep that flow of players coming.

Players needing a big time coach to stay on board? Hardly correct, if that's their attitude let them off, they've not enough credit to start making demands Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1540 - 11/06/2024 22:37:50 2550905 Link 0 |
Which 3 under 20s would you expect to see at senior level next year?

Darragh McCormack, Darragh Smith and Sean Jackson (goals) probably second keeper to Mulkearns. I have a feeling Conaty will step away next year.

Possibly Peter Murphy if he shows well for Castletown Seniors this year.

Jackson isn't in goals for Castletown at intermediate or senior level so can't see him in it for the county it would be a big ask surely there's someone doing it at club level willing to fill the void

Ah he surely will be in goal for Castletown this year? Is he U20 again next year or overage, was asking a lad the other day and they weren't sure. Think he was a minor outfield in 2022 but could be wrong LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 175 - 13/06/2024 22:20:11 2551306 Link 0 |
Yeah he's underage again next year
