I have to say I think that this is a very strong team. I think the county board deserve a pat on the back on having the foresight to elect a selector from each of the county finalists (Mick Mahony – Ballygunner and Seamus Quirke – De La Salle) plus one from the West (Eddie Cunningham). The Intermediate team has been held back in recent years due to players not making themselves available and it seems that players seem to be willing to turn up for selectors that they know personally.

I know preparations haven’t been ideal, but who knows, a good performance here should set them up for another appearance in a Munster final, where they will meet the winners of Cork V Clare.
