Hurling 2024

[Armagh18]

Davy Fitz steps down

That'll be the end of his IC management I'd have thought. Can't see any of the tier one teams looking him, too much of a sideshow with him.

Ballygunner manager will probably take it on after the club championships are over.

Galway?

Doubt it.

If Shefflin goes, knowing there's a bit of rebuilding to do it'll need someone who knows a lot about Galway hurling and what's available at club and underage level to bring into that squad.

Davy isn't know for bringing young lads through other than his native Clare in 2013 and that was with Kinnerk alongside him.

 

Know very little about hurling but can't see Shefflin staying with Galway.

Davy to Antrim possible?

Cahill might well be gone from Tipp, O'Donoghue from Dublin, Shefflin from Galway, Gleeson may be in with a shout of the Tipp job, but Cummins is probably better placed after taking their U20's for the last few years and winning a Munster title this year.

Davy won't go to Antrim due to the lack of publicity being up there.

[NAG1]

Only one of them I can see being a viable option for Davy is Dublin.

He is high profile and exactly what Dublin need at this stage to raise the profile, like him or not he is box office and brings a lot of attention.

Don't think any of the other top tier teams touch him at this point.

Think your right. Galway need to get a homer this time, is enough great hurlers there won an All Ireland and played in finals and at the top level to take it on.
Antrim is like one step forward two back most frustrating county, can't see Davy heading there either.
Daly had great time at Dublin would suit his old team-mate and they dish out good money €€€

[Blowitupref]

Expected full house for Cork v Limerick on Sunday.  For Saturday Clare v Kilkenny 35,000.

Is Daly's effort with Dublin not overstated a bit?

His lowest point being Antrim beating Dublin 

That said it was generally close between them at that time

[NAG1]

I think the quote was Daly had a great time, not necessarily that Dublin had the greatest time as a team.

I just feel Dublin need more than a coach, they need someone to generate interest in Hurling, high profile and someone who will bring the level up. I think Davy the ideal candidate for all of that.

Will eventually end in tears but if you know that when you start out at least you can be prepared.

Expected full house for Cork v Limerick on Sunday.  For Saturday Clare v Kilkenny 35,000.

Two counties with large city populations and two counties with rural populations.

CP didn't help with the 3PM throw in on the Saturday, stil think it'll be the better game to watch.

Shefflin steps down in Galway

Shefflin steps down in Galway

Always thought it was a bad move. Cody didn't think it was a clever move either and upped the mind games in every Kilkenny v Galway encounter.

He wanted the step up to IC level and Cody was always going to leave on his own terms, Henry couldn't wait on that.

In saying that, it's a great opportunity to get young lads/lassies in underage teams down to the semi-final on the Saturday.

A great day out.

I'm not across his while tenure there but he made them contenders, first Leinster title in 52 years. Also was very hard done by in All Ireland semi-final a harsh sending off swayed the game in Corks favour.

Fair point but this is what I thought.

It was a one off.  If you are going to make a difference/impact, it needs to be over a few years in my opinion.
