They looked like they were going to beat Wexford for a lot of that game.
so Carlow are well able to hurl well able to get scores like Chris Nolan up front but I just I just don't know I think Leash sometimes when you lose to a team and I think it'd be quite similar to what I said I think you know Dublin did beat Galway already Carlow beat Leash already but I think sometimes and Cork beat Limerick already yeah I think sometimes you learn from when you you know and you go back and you pick up momentum I think all those teams like Leash have picked up great momentum since that loss
Limerick picked up great momentum to that loss Galway I suppose you couldn't say as much about Galway because it was the second last round but they had a good year overall between league and championship I just think sometimes when you lose to a team before the bigger game before the final before the provincial final the John McDonagh final you learnt a lot from the loss you know what I mean and I don't know for me if you've met teams twice in the same championship isn't it very hard to beat a team twice in the same championship because you just feel like they've learnt something so I get that example before in 2019 the Munster final where
Limerick played a tip now didn't end up playing him again but we lost Limerick lost a tip in the last round robin game you know in the dead rubber game we call it and then we're able to make a few changes watch that game back for two weeks and say right we'll do this differently what we've done two weeks ago and then got joy out of it so I think that happens a lot I think Leash will I think Leash will do that a lot you know what I mean I think Leash are
like I said they've picked up a lot of momentum since or hurled away a lot of wins since I think James Keyes is going to be a huge player here I played with James in New York a couple of years ago his brother was actually playing fullback for New York the other day
So they'll be looking for two wins in Co-op Park in the space of a week.
And I think Leeds should win this.
And if I'm wrong, isn't Pinky Marr, is he coming on as a sub?
He was coming on in the first two games and he came back.
But what a player to have.
what an unbelievable player you know just a brilliant hurler and a leader now that'll be needed here Saturday so I think Leash myself I think Leash will right the wrongs in the first round I think Leash will win this they'll head back up whether there'll be any changes in different things that we spoke about whether two teams will go up who knows but I think Leash will be heading back up to the length of the championship next year
He's talking about a hard question to get, you know what I mean?
This is the question, this is the thing that people have been asking for, I assume, 20, 30, 40, 50 years.
It's not easy.
Like, there's no quick fix.
In fairness to William Aher, he seems like a real good man that's putting it in.
I definitely don't have the answer for that question.
The one thing I will say, you can only speak about your own experience playing the game.
I mentioned him a while ago.
We had a fella here from Dublin, right?
