2. The Kernans...Joe and Aaron?

Regarding the Harps, it's no co-incidence that the last time we were winning championships we had a team of nasty hoors, off course allied with class players with a good attitude.  Recent harps teams have been far too nice for their own good.

I disagree benny...the biggest thing they had was commitment,pride in the jersey, plus respect for each other and management (even when wrong).
That was a sound basis on which to build a team.

The current squad has a considerable number who have NONE of the above.

mmm - if shes married its twice as hard!

That will wear off in time!!

Have to agree with Rufus. The advantage Cross have is that any young talent coming through can be eased onto the senior set up, eg the young Kernans coming through to play alongside "old heads" like Oisin, Francie, the Macs, whereas the Harps youth have no players to look up to like that.

Imagine the current crop of Harps youth joining a set up that included "old heads" like John Rath, Adrian Moore, Dom Clarke, the Twins, John Toner, the McCoys etc.......i think it's all about timing, but hats off to cross....they have set the bar very high and it's going to take a tremendous effort to compete with them.

Here's hoping.

Cross hammered Harps today in U 21 semi at mullahbrack...totally dominated game and were superior in every dept.

Played for Tara from 84-88, can remember playing against Plunkett Donaghy and Joe Brolly...Garryowen i think (wore galway like jersey)....took your life in your hands every time you played.

Hope to get to Cross for the double header.
