Cork have named a squad of only 23 ? - Wonder if that was what was submitted to Croke Park?

To me it looks a questionable enough team - defence isn't the most experienced and the attack isn't exactly brimming in terms of scoring power. Tipp have posed difficulties for Cork any time they met them in the last few years and I'd expect more of the same on Saturday.

Quote1. Mark White (Clonakilty)
2. Sam Ryan (St Finbarrs)
3. Jamie O Sullivan (Bishopstown)
4. Micheal McSweeney (Newcestown)
5. Kevin Flahive (Douglas)
6. Kevin Crowley (Millstreet)
7. Brian O Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)
8. Ian Maguire (St Finbarrs) Captain
9. Daniel O Callaghan (Clyda Rovers)
10. Sean White (Clonakilty)
11. Sean Powter (Douglas)
12. Ruairi Deane (Bantry Blues)
13. John O Rourke (Carbery Rangers)
14. Mark Collins (Castlehaven)
15. Stephen Sherlock (St Finbarrs)
Subs:
16. Ryan Price (O Donovan Rossa)
17. Eoin Lavers (Dohenys)
18. Conor Dorman (Bishopstown)
19. Tomas Clancy (Fermoy)
20. Kevin O Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)
21. Cillian O Hanlon (Kilshannig)
22. Michael Hurley (Castlehaven)
23. Colm O'Neill (Ballyclough)

Them cute hoors are up to something!! After seeing both teams id be more confident but its cork and they believe they can beat anyone and when they get momentum going are always tough to stop

I had Cork and Cavan down to win this weekend but after looking at the teams they have both picked i'm not so sure now.

Clare (Allianz League v Cavan): Killian Roche; Cian O'Dea, Cillian Brennan, Gordon Kelly; Pearse Lills, Ciaran Russell, Jamie Malone; Gary Brennan, Cathal O'Connor; Alan Sweeney, Eoin Cleary, Gearoid O'Brien; Eibhin Courtney, Keelan Sexton, Conor Finnucane

Very experimental Clare team. Look very weak in backs. Eibhim Courtney and Conor Finucane are 2 promising young players who will hopefully add more firepower to the Clare attack.

9 of that Clare team started against Mayo last summer its a lot less experimental than the Cavan team that is named to start.

Got team from elsewhere, short names for clubs i presume.

Ball Hopper · January 27, 2018, 12:35:28 AM

Had a bit of time earlier to look up the clubs...

1. Craig Lynch (Jocks) Nickname of Naomh Mairtin clubin Monasterboice. Nickname started with the 1962-1964 team's affinity for dancing after training and games due to the team being mainly young and single.

2. John Bingham (Marys) Ardee St. Mary's
3. Emmet Carolan (Blues) Newtown Blues
4. James Craven (Gers) Geraldines, representing the parish of Haggardstown and Blackrock.

5. Darren Monks (Cooley) Cooley Kickhams, near Carlingford
6. Bevan Duffy (Feckins) St. Fechins, Termonfeckin
7. Anthony Williams (Dreads) Dreadnots, Clogherhead. No idea where the Dreadnots name came from.

8. Andy McDonnell (Blues) Newtown Blues, Drogheda
9. Tommy Durnin (Westies) Westerns, Reaghstown, Ardee

10. Derek Maguire (D.Y.I) Dundalk Young Irelands
11. Jim McEneaney (Gers) Geraldines, representing the parish of Haggardstown and Blackrock.
12. Ger McSorley (Gaels) Dundalk Gaels

13. Declan Byrne (Mochs) St. Mochta's, Louth Village
14. Ryan Burns (Hunterstown) Hunterstown Rovers, Ardee
15. William Woods (Barrs) Naomh Fionnbarra, Togher

Can anyone shed light on how Dreadnots got their name?

We have Mullahoran Dreadnoughts in cavan too. I always took it to mean they feared no one but maybe something else behind it.

A dreadnought was a British navy ship and Clogher head is a fishing port.Maybe it was a joke.

Apart from Galway in the final Clare were the best team Kildare faced in division 2 last year. It would not surprise me one iota to see them promoted.
