Yeah I would have thought the same. Always loved watching Jim Connolly play. Some other great players in there too with some before my time.

Good point.

Rossa's team in the SG today. Some handy hurlers over the years.

Not going to complain too much about that team, I'd say there was at least 12 that were certs, and then the rest is down to your own perception.

Are these teams picked to positions or best 15.. we tried to pick 15 in our wee club but found that part hard

The Saffron Gael one is actually called 15 Favourite rather than Bsst.

In fairness the players that may be out of position of what have been their normal spots the picker has explained it.

I think having a selector who's played or watched a few generations of teams can give a nice spread of players from over the years
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Yeah you need someone whos seen the seniors hurl throughout the 80's etc right up to the present day as opposed to someone whos only seen the newer generation at your club. i only got the tail end of the 80's but there was some fantastic hurlers who played throughout that time with next to no success nor close to it.
hurl like f**k boi!

Hoof Hearted

Nice wee story there too in the saffron gael about the 4 young minor hurlers from cushendall who rescued a father and child who got into difficulties swimming
Well played lads

I forgot there was a Terry.

Ballycastle's team is an interesting one. They had some great hurlers over the years too (and still produce some very capable ones though they seem to be fewer these days). I think looking at it there may have been 6 donnelly brothers.

I don't think they are all brothers- seamus, Eddie , Brian and Dessie may be brothers I think but Eoin Ciaran and Terence are cousins.  Ronan also related

imtommygunn

Ah. Thanks for that. Ronan was a good one too.

Is there no spectators allowed at games starting next week up here in the 6 counties?

Loving some of the photos of spectators not within the grounds though. Great one of a couple of families watching from their back garden in ahoghill and some older fella in his camp chair at a game though not sure where that is.
