Actually Shane Cooney did a savage job on him when they played Ballyhale last and in fairness to him he's been by far Thomas's best player in the last few all Ireland club campaigns. He was pretty much the only one along with Conor Cooney to win their battle against Ballyhale that day and ended up being the only Thomas's lad to win an all Ireland club all star. (Although anything that could go wrong for Thomas's did and their preparation leading up to it was far from ideal) it'd be Eoin Cody I'd fear Thomas's will have the hardest time tying down. Feel Fintan is made for Colin Fennelly and Shane Cooney will do well on TJ.

Outside Conor Cooney he's probably the biggest loss they could've had. I don't think they've anyone to replace him really. It's a severe blow to them

Hard to read too much into yesterday's game. Did what they had to. The two midfielders looked lively and sharp. Wing backs struggled big time at defending, great to see them wanting to get forward but they conceded a lot and didn't put in many tackles and left a lot of space e.g Eoghan Cahill scored 6 points from play on the wing. Early days yet though so a lot of time to improve that. It won't be from a lack of trying lads if this game is anything to go by!

Wing backs? A bit of soccer terminology slipping there.

No Cockney. In my sixty odd years following the ancient game all over the magnificent hurling province of Munster (75 All Ireland Senior titles don't you know) , and indeed further afield, I have always heard those sporting the numbers 5 and 7 referred to as wing backs.

Wing back would be commonly used for left and right half backs in Galway. I've heard it all my life. I'd have assumed it's used elsewhere too. Is there a collective term for the half backs on the wings in Kilkenny? WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2037 - 10/01/2022 18:28:50 2394455 Link 0 |

Who was playing inside left yesterday. They need to feed the flanks a lot more.

My whole life saying and hearing the terms wing backs and wing forwards so I wouldn't say so.

Will Henry be able to inspire Galway to overcome their fear of the blue jersey next Sunday? BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2524 - 10/01/2022 18:48:28 2394459 Link 0 |

In my young days corner forwards were often referred to as top of the right or top of the left.

Half backs and half forwards. 27/07/21. Hurling's half-back evolution: Sky Sports pundits explain how Kyle Hayes and others have changed the position Jamesie O'Connor, JJ Delaney and Ollie Canning examine the role of the modern half-back in hurling, and explain how Kyle Hayes and Calum Lyons have changed the position in the sport. In the 54th minute of the Munster final, Limerick half-back Kyle Hayes collected possession inside his own 65...Hayes' heroics was just another example of the evolving role of the half-back in hurling.... JJ Delaney is regarded as one of the best half-backs to ever pick up a hurl, but the Kilkenny great was not a fan of pushing forward.

With a Galway man in charge of Dublin they'll hardly take them for granted! ;)

https://www.sportsjoe.ie/gaa/whatll-happen-next-two-three-years-youll-wing-backs-playing-wing-forward-try-mark-232760 An article here referring to the evolution of Limerick's 'wing backs'. A half-back here in Galway, could also be the centre back. It refers to anyone in the half-back line. Wings backs has always been used for those who play right or left half-back. As long as we don't bring up the 'hurl' vs 'hurley stick' debate again. ;) It's always been a camán in our neck of the woods anyway.

Minor. The same applies all over Munster and South Leinster, in my experience.
