Rower-Inistioge Senior Hurler Kieran Joyce says that the loss of experienced O’Loughlin Gaels players could be a decisive factor in Sunday’s Senior Semi-Final clash against Ballyhale Shamrocks.
Speaking to KCLR, Kieran says that Ballyhale Shamrocks greater experience and greater strength will make them favorites.
He said “When you have the likes of TJ scoring 1-12, no matter what team TJ is on you are going to be probably favorites I suppose to a certain extent so yeah look O’Loughlins won’t fear either, they have been here and they have done it before as well”.
“I suppose based on experience and maybe the number of players O’Loughlins have lost maybe the last couple of years, the likes of Brian Hogan and that gone, Ballyhale probably have to have the stronger panel and the stronger experience so I would have Ballyhale as favorites”.
