Cheers Lads Appreciate the advice Re wrist Injury. As regards time scale, am i fooling myself thinking i will be back playing competitively in three weeks. Physio's have said three weeks plus after cast however has anyone who has experienced this injury got back within three weeks. I intend to followphsio's exercises rigerously.

Lads just when we're on the subject of injuries.Broke wrist playing club about 6weeks ago.Just out of cast.Did a small bit of jogging and minor stuff with ball at training but have little or no movement in wrist.Any ideas how long it should take to be back playing competitively.was hoping to be back within three weeks.Is this possible.Obviously i will be getting physio to redeem full movement however would anyone have any other suggestions on what exercises etc to do to get back that wee bit quicker and is it safe to be doing bit of training(non contact) when the cast is only off a day??

[Four changes for OByrne Cup semi-final]

Four changes for OByrne Cup semi-final

Dublin have made four changes to their team for Saturday's O'Byrne Cup semi-final in Parnell Park (5.0).

Shane Ryan is ruled out having picked up a hamstring injury in last Saturday's ten-point victory over WestM**th and is replaced at midfield by Paul Flynn, who moves out from corner-forward. 2008 team captain, Alan Brogan, comes in a No 15.

In the other switches Stephen Cluxton takes over again in goal from John Leonard while Philip McMahon replaces Derek Murray at right half-back.

McMahon was selected to start in last Saturday's game but as he had played for Ballymun Kickhams' under-21s in Championship action earlier that afternoon he was 'rested'.

The final alteration sees Round Towers, Clondalkin's John O'Brien lead the attack with Pat Burke being displaced to the bench.

DUBLIN (SF) - S Cluxton; N O'Shea, R McConnell, S O'Shaughnessy; P McMahon, C Moran, P Brogan; P Flynn, E Fennell; D Lally, J O'Brien, B Brogan; J Sherlock, D O'Mahony, A Brogan. Subs: J Leonard, P Casey, D Henry, D Murray, B Cullen, D Ryan, B Kennedy, P Burke.

Lads any truth in the rumour that J O'Brien is transfering away from Round Towers, Clondalkin??
