1. Shane ‘Wow’ Walsh It’s the combination of balance, speed and power that makes Shane Walsh of Kilmacud Crokes and Galway what he is, but it also takes a particularly ballsy approach to decide with 50 metres and a couple of opponents ahead of you, that you are going to go for goal.

The past weekend brought another few shameful episodes, the most prevalent being the Ballymaguigan player Johnny Cassidy, who pushed referee Mark Dorrian before striking a linesman in their Ulster junior championship loss to Arva. “The game is over and all I will say from an officiating point of view it was an absolute disgrace. But we will not be making any complaints. We lost it on the pitch and best of luck to Lisnaskea, in the next round.”

In truth, O’Connor has always been fond of a Bear In the Square. In his first year in charge, 2004, he dropped Johnny Crowley from the starting line up after beating Cork in the Munster semi-final.He only came on as sub against Dublin in the quarter-final and Derry in the semi-final. But for the final, having watched Mayo’s David Heaney struggling with Stephen Maguire across two semi-final games, he restored Crowley to the starting line-up.

Up next in the quarter-final was Dungarvan , Fourmilewater in the semi-final before the final against De La Salle and an eleven-point win.Is there a danger that playing so well can catch them on November 19th, when they are due to run into Na Piarsaigh in the Munster semi-final? One to keep an eye on.5. Big dogs emerging New clubs arrive one the scene, others fade away.
