Lost time in sporting lockdown may see a shift in GAA power

I think it’s safe to say that it is not going to happen for them at this stage.

Brendan Maher, Pádraic Maher, Noel McGrath, Seamus Callanan, and Bonner Maher (below) have a lot of hurling done, but Liam Sheedy has a lot of youth around them, with plenty more recent underage All-Ireland winners to come, so they won’t be going away any time soon.

It is a similar enough story with the Cork hurlers in this regard. Anthony Nash is 35, Eoin Cadogan is 33, Bill Cooper and Patrick Horgan are 32, Stephen McDonnell 31 and Aidan Walsh 30, but everyone else is still in their 20s. On top of that, a lot of players in their early 20s will be looking to break through in the next year or two.
