In fairness Timmy Carroll should never have been gone, he was always a good ballwinner and able to kick a couple of scores.

I heard that Keane is in and so is Ger Ahern of Athea. Ger Ahern was on the minor team this year, can get 1-6 in one game but might only get 0-1 in another.

Nobody seems to know anything about Mike Roberts. What position does he play in even??? He came on as a sub wing forward against Wicklow in the league when the game was won. Why hasnt he played in the club games??? All I know about him is that he plays in the centre for Garryowen in rugby. O'Grady has been a disappointment, 0-1 or 0-2 is the most he had been getting in club games. Most of the other county forwards have been getting 75% of their club teams scores.

Who else did you think wasnt worth a place on the panel evileye?????

There doesnt appear to have been anything else from the club championship. A guy John Lenihan showed up for Caseys earlier in the summer but hasnt been scoring much since. Drom Broadford seem to have a lot of players scoring 0-1 and 0-2 in their games, with different fellas scoring goals each game. Athea have Declan White, What age is he????? Any time I've seem him he has scored a lot.

that guy foley may play full forward but he ain't very natural from what ive seen of him.he was playing junior b last year with st.senans.wont make it at all.begley is not good enough either.

heard keand got 3-6 the weekend.i have no argument with bringing him into the panel after that anyway.thats fair scoring.

timmy carroll may be back aswell which will make it harder 4 o brien - he is good though.

And as for Limerick hurling dying on its feet, hurling is dead in Wesht Limerick. Adare should not be in the Wesht division. When was the last hurler from NCW on a Limerick SH championship team ?
And by the way rumour has it that the NCW club along with the majority of Wesht Limerick clubs voted to get rid of Dave.
So before you rant on here Gunther, check out the situation in your own club.

And you should check out your facts before resorting to "rumour has it"..this is what is causing a lot of unrest..your "rumour has it" brigade.

For the record,We voted to keep Dave Keane in for another year.

I'm not actually sure how Adare voted...do you?

"People in Glass Houses"..indeed...

Are you telling me that his own CLUB voted to sack him????

Adare abstained, Ahane voted to sack them and so did the Well. So if you have none of the clubs the management are from voting for them, I think it is a bad sign.
The word is that most of the west Limerick clubs are pro Tom Ryan and voted to get rid of Dave and his two selectors.
Anyway I think it is unfair that Junior, Intermediate and football clubs can determine the fate of the senior hurling manager. Maybe a senior hurling club should have three times the number of votes that others have.

I had heard good reports about Foley, it will be interesting to see how he gets on in the remainder of the intermediate championship with St Senans. A foley or a Begley may not be naturally talented footballers but they can be effective if used in the right way, and they are probably the best way to counteract a blanket defence.

In fairness Timmy Carroll should never have been gone, he was always a good ballwinner and able to kick a couple of scores.

Can someone confirm or deny this please? I've heard from a very
reliable source out in Adare that the club voted with Dave Keane,
not abstained or against him?

What about the other two selectors' clubs?

This issue needs to be nailed down especially for the sake of
Dave Keane and the Adare GAA Club?

16. Michael Jones, 17. John Quane, 18. Brian Begley, 19, Pat Ahern, 20. Pat Windle, 21. Colm Hickey, 22. Padraig Browne, 23. Peter O'Dea, 24. Mike Roberts, 25. Colin O'Grady, 26. Eoin Burke, 27. John Cormican, 28. Pat Kenrick.

There seems to be double cover in some positions, and sparse cover in others.

Kenrick made the under 21 team before Jones, you wonder why Jones is first choice sub goale for the senior team. Quane, Begley, Ahern and Hickey deserved to be there.

Windle, I dont know about, played well in 2000 vs Cork but hasnt made it since. Seems odd to have both him and Cormican as sub full backs. If one had to be chosen, i'd have gone with Windle before Cormican. Neither would cover corner back satisfactorily for me.

Padraig Browne and Peter O'Dea are wing backs, yet again one would have done, and Browne gets my nod.

Nobody knows anything about Roberts, position or ability. O'Grady just hasnt done the business.

Eoin Burke is the under 21 corner back, surprising to carry only one corner back in the squad. Paudie McCarthy was there but got injured. You are better to have two specialist corner backs in a squad, because anyone on the field could cover wing back.

If I had 13 subs, I'd require 1 goalie, full back, centre back, midfielder, centre forward and full forward. I'd want two corner backs and two corner forwards, another midfielder and a wingback and a wingforward

Jones had been sub keeper from the start of the year. When Kitson pulled out, Kenrick got in. Kenrick was highly rated by the under 21 management, and was sub keeper for them last year as well despite not being on the minor panel.

I would agree with the makeup of your squad 22, try and cover as many positions as possible, not sure if everyone on the field could cover wing back but I think we are fortunate that we have Stephen Lavin on the field who can move to wing back if necessary.

Paudie McCarthy and Eoin Bourke are fine corner backs. McCarthy has had trouble with back and hamstring. Bourke has handled Cooper well in the past two years at under 21. Johnny McCarthy would be a good addition to the squad as well.

cant understand the mike jones bit either??

from that panel you listed out i only think ahern,quane,paudie browne and hickey(but he would want to get the finger out big time)should be kept on.
introduce new faces other than that

Eoin Bourke has to be kept as well, he has performed very well in his games for the Limerick Minors and Under 21's over the past few years. He was excellent in the recent game when Galbally played South Liberties, a real driving force as the team went forward, getting 3 points from centre back.
