an impossible ask but two of the best I ever seen not to win, in hurling was Ciaran Carey of Limerick & Tony Browne of Waterford, less prominent counties from by gone years, Pat Critchley, John Taylor and Niall Rigney of Laois, we couldnt pass Paddy Kelly of Limerick James Shanahan and Sean Durack and Ger Loughane...

Shane Brick was a wonderful player, from memory there were a couple of very very good hurlers around that time on that Kerry panel...cant remember them off the top of my head, but Brick was some talent..

His brother Billy was quite good as well but finished up young enough maybe mid 20s. Michael Slattery was also very good at that time. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1375 - 06/02/2021 10:35:43 2330418 Link 0 |

I remember them that time, and they would put it up to most teams, competitive yes they were..DJ Leahy was another fine fine hurler from days gone by for Kerry...scored a goal early on in the famous win against Waterford in 1993....

Brendan O Sullivan was another during the 90s. Won a Railway Cup in the mid 90s. Christy Walsh around the same time. Was also a Railway Cup winning and Kilkenny tried to get him to join them during the 90s. Regardless of what some on here think. Kerry have always been able to produce hurlers who pound for pound have been as good as any one from Tipp, Cork etc The issue is there's such a small pool of players. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1375 - 09/02/2021 14:27:04 2330827 Link 1 |
yes Kerry are really putting a lot of other counties to shame in Hurling considering they are the powerhouse of Tradition with Football. Theres even new hurling clubs starting up down there i heard in listowel or tralee somewhere like that. For the size of their Hurling area population, number of clubs and of course the huge tradition of the football what they are doing is tremendous, Shane Brick was another fine hurler in the 00s so much so limerick wanted him to transfer in 2004 and there was an O connell lad that time too v good. Shane Conway now is testimont to whats happening there im fairly sure he would be on most if not all teams in the country.

Even at Fitzgibbon level Shane Conway has stood out, he's a top class player.
