Replying To MrPBoylan:  "Contributing to melee is not a red card offence in hurling. Only applies to football"

Category III Infractions
5.21 To contribute to a melee.

PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE FOULS
Order offender off.

Now having said that if that was what he was sent off for, there probably should have been 3 Clare lads sent off. Byrnes committed the initial foul (which in my opinion was a free only and not even a yellow card), then the Clare lads took exception and swarmed him. That was the melee right there.
Kiely said he was sent off for the foul - I dont think he knows that but is saying it as its pretty clear that if it was reviewed it could well be thrown out. The melee one might be harder to throw out as its a bit more subjective and

Apologies, I got that from a journo who said it was only in for the new football rules.

I know Hannon was named to start the Kilkenny game, but no sign of him v Clare or Galway now.
Is he carrying a knock?
Good to see Sean Finn back in the corner

Ya that's an interesting one regarding Hannon..I wonder aswell about Donovan and possibly first time Dan has missed 2 in a row..great to see gearoid and Peter available..this game tomorrow could be as firey as last week.I'm thinking the goalkeeping position is up for grabs with dowling starting.last week wasn't all down to jg but thought winning puck outs was a huge problem..looking forward to this as Galway look to be improving every day they go out..havnt seen their team yet but would expect it to be very physical.

it really does look like they are undecided on the goalkeeping slot and are giving them both opportunities
And in fairness both have done well but not well enough to nail down the championshiop starter

Overall, it looks a strong team, balancing bringing guys back to match fitness and exploring some options with a view to championship (e.g. Nash at wing back)
The return of Sean Finn is a big deal. He was the keystone for our defense for a few years, best corner back in the country. Games seemed to slow down when he was on the ball - hasnt been the same since his cruciate so next couple of games for him are very important.
Curious about DOD and Hannon - I assume they are carrying knocks
