Replying To Loughlenegale:  "There's a fair bit to unpack in that take, but the biggest issue is the framing - it leans heavily into a kind of football-first bias that quietly assumes hurling should take a back seat when dual-talented players are involved. Exactly what I have come to expect"

Replying To jobber:  "Exactly, a warning to hurling people. I have been saying we have to be united. When the hurlers were winning Ring and Mcdonagh cups the CB had decent hurling club participation now it is totally football dominant."

Replying To Dheen:  "The minor hurlers performed better overall than the minor footballers this year with only 3 players duel players starting. 13 of the u20 team are underage again next year, those players will all come through over the next couple of years and we will just have to be patient . There was a young team there in 2011/2012 under Brian Hanley after a lot of experienced hurlers stepped away , they were underperforming but he stuck with them despite lots of criticism which in hindsight was the best thing for us going forward, we competed well then between 2014 to 2024. The current team have been underperforming massively and probably would struggle against certain club sides in the county like I said however its a young side and definitely in the midst of a rebuilding phase. The senior footballers have a lot of quality players in their prime and a nice balance of youth and experience, the hurlers have a majority of players under the age of 25 and its clearly showing. We do well to compete in both codes at a good level, we've fallen away in hurling but I do see us coming back stronger in a couple of years time all going well."

Replying To preddan:  "the whole sense of apathy towards hurling in the county draw stream was clear to see, slotting it in between the football draws and no discussion about it, its alarming how far hurling has gone the pecking order in the county in such a short space of time."
