As an aside, happy with how the football set up is shaping up. Great looking backroom team. James McCarthy a top class coach, something Cork haven't had in years. Peader Healy will hopefully bring back the toughness and man management that went missing the last 2 years."There are probably more annoying things than being hectored about African development by a wealthy Irish rock star in a cowboy hat, but I can't think of one at the moment"

What's this I hear?
The Dubs to play in Nowlan Park in the Leinster Football Championship?
A number of questions arise:- How will the pitch be decontaminated afterwards?
- How long with the decontamination process take place afterwards? In other words when will it be safe for Kilkenny to recommence training?
- Has any consideration been given to the possibility of a few old codgers, on their way home from Langton's, say, of a Saturday, wandering into Nowlan Park, thinking there's a match on and being confronted with this strange "sport" which is alien to every fibre of their being?
- Has the risks to the mental health of these people been considered?
- Is this, in fact, a fiendish plot drawn up by their neighbours from the far side of Urlingford to deal a mortal blow to the Kilkenny Hurling Psyche?

I have heard from one of teachers from the school, who has mentioned this.
Hope it works out for them.
Strange seeing Christian and Rochestownn College as the two strong City schools.
The last Cork winning minor hurling captain was a Christians student.

CBC is plenty big enough to be able grow a strong hurling team alongside the rugby culture. It's great to see, and the students will be all the better for it.
Major lessons for rugby."There are probably more annoying things than being hectored about African development by a wealthy Irish rock star in a cowboy hat, but I can't think of one at the moment"
