Cox should get a place in the 15 along with Hickson, Shaun Keane maybe centre back, Tom Moriarty, Legion, also has a keen eye for goal. Also 'mossy' could you name the team that started against Clare?

The team depends on whether management decide to play the Sem lads or not, although I would start Shaun Keane only . My team would be: Pádraig McCarthy Pa Kilkenny Fergal McNamara David Culhane James Walsh Laurance Bastible Jason Hickson 8. Damien Somers 9. Shaun Keane or George Durant 10. Mark Reen 11. Marcus Mangan 12. Thomas Hickey 13. Eanna O Connor 14. Gavin O Grady 15. Barry O Dwyer

One of the frustration things about minors is the collective loss of heart that sets in when a goal is conceded.
If Pat O Driscoll can infuse in bit of blood mindedness into them, he will well on the way. Ardfert were never short of that virtue it has to be said.

If I was to have a stab at the side for the tipp game and on the back of the clare game then i would see it as follows....1.Padraig McCarthy 2.Pat Kilkenny 3.Fearghal McNamara 4.David Culhane 5.James Walsh 6.Laurence Bastible 7.Jason Hickson 8.Damien Somers 9.George Durrant 10.Mark Reen 11.Thomas Hickey 12.Marcus Mangan 13.Barry O'Dwyer 14.Gavan O'Grady 15.Eanna O'Connor/John Moynihan, thats a tight call but i would go for eanna. Thomas Hickey is on fire you just can't drop him and for the sem boys then maybe your really only talking shaun keane, gary o'leary and chris o'leary maybe jeff o'donoghue but that's it.

Sean McCarthy the Sem fullback. I think himself and Shaun will be making the team eventually, but not on the first outing. My guess is that you have the team spot on, mossycorridan. I would definitely give Eanna the nod - he strikes me as the most reliable freetaker in there.

Surprised that Eamon Kiely from Brosna isnt featuring in above 15s. Outstanding footballer last yr for saint kierans, strong and fast and cool headed - very important at this grade!

Strong, fast and cool headed well isnt that what hickson and walsh are too and in my opinion they both are better footballers then kiely. Don't get me wrong kiely is a very good player and from what i have heard improving in there with every session but that is just the nature of inter-county teams your going to have good players having to settle for a place on the bench. Look at Eanna there is a distinct possibility he wont start against tipp and that's a guy who was one of the best last year. Competition for places will always be fierce for kerry teams and that's the way it should be. As for the panel I think there is 30 at the minute but that is without a potential 4 or 5 from the sem so maybe there will be further changes after the hogan cup finishes up and those lads are available again

Bit harsh on chris o'leary guys he may lack pace but he is a fine footballer all the same and strong as an ox. I agree with you 'zusse' the sem are not as great as they are being made out to be if u look at the kerry schools this year they were all on a par and it was the sem's ability to get goals that gave them the edge and a superb performance from shaun keane against colaiste na sceilge in particular. If I recall correctly the green gave the sem a good beating in the o'sullivan cup this year and also macroom were extremey unfortunate to lose in the corn ui mhuiri final, they were the strongest team in it if you ask me. Any other talent showing up in the minor leagues this year? I see hickson plays corner forward for annascaul can anyone tell me does he come out the field or does he actually stay in the corner? Interesting if so as I have only ever seen him in the half back line. hickson started off for annascaul seniors 2 years ago wing back. he now plays corner forward for them and stays in an advanced inside forward position. is a good ball winner and point getter. played centre forward for the green this year. Played a West Kerry senior final while under 16. A very accurate free taker from the good. However when playing in the backs he tends to concentrate on the man a bit too much

Ya thats interesting I know he plays midfield for the lispole/annascaul minors but just didnt know about the seniors as I had never witnessed him corner forward. Good player very hardy and fit as a fiddle. Playin a west kerry senior final u16?? thats unbelievable has to be against the rules though!! I heard that his biggest weakness is marking the man tends to give away too many frees, is that what you mean 'crokepark'? Next wednesday night now i hope there is a big crowd present I'm looking forward to seeing Somers at midfield he is an absolute giant of a man and a great fielder. The last few minor teams have lacked that big ball winner in the middle since 06 they have not had one in my opinion. If you think of buckley in 07 he didn't look up to it and in 08 guthrie was never going to fulfil that role and last year shane carroll did well but I felt centre forward was his best position. So hopefully Somers will step up and be able to compete with the giants on the minor teams from the north.

the kennedy cup thread has been done and dusted in another thread already. Lets not do it again.
Good footballers also happen to be good soccer players - shock horror - and guess what they can play other sports as well.

From what I've seen of the minors I would'nt disagree much with the teams proposed by 'Cool1' or 'Mossycorridan' except a few positional switches. I think Culhane is better suited at fullback and I'd play Hickey at No11. This would be my team. P.McCarthy. --Kilkenny D. Culhane. F. McNamara. James Walshe. Capt. L. Bastible. -- Hickson. D. Somers. George Durant. Mark Reen. T. Hickey. M. Mangan. --O'Dwyer. Gavin O'Grady. E. O'Connor. There is a good panel of subs that are capable of performing if given the call. I expect that Tipp will give a good account of themselves, as usual, but a Kerry win nevertheless.

However radio Kerry today said it was 7.30pm Maureen O'Shea, the county board PRO was on Kerry Radio yesterday and she said that it's 7.30pm .... that the word had gone out during the week that it was 6.30pm but that was incorrect and that it is in fact 7.30pm.

A player who was deeply disappointed not to make the 15 revealed this to me

Best of luck lads! Great to see 2 miltown lads on the panel, and an ex-miltown man on the sideline!
Will be keeping track of this one from Munich - is the game on kerry radio lads?

How many of the panel were on the Sem's team

None of the Sem team were considered for this game but they will be in later. Pat felt that it was too soon after the Hogan - win or lose, it would be asking too much of young lads. He rang each one personally to explain that. One parent told me that it was a touch of class by Pat to take that time, and I agree. If Justin McCarthy had done that a while back, there might still be a bite in Limerick hurling!

Definitely. I don't buy into the current "cult of the manager". Sometimes teams win or lose regardless of the line, and most managers are there because they care enough to plant their necks on the chopping block. There's an under-appreciated greatness and humanity about it. By the way, I think that's a great team selection. Win or lose (and be warned - Tipperary are good) that is the very best we have right now.
