Oulart would still have a reasonably strong squad too at that level if they all togged out!
Could be a shootout between Mikey Dwyer and Billy Dunne if they meet in the championship later in the year.

Replying To Viking66: "Bunclody have a good few good footballers and were a good team all over the pitch at hurling last year. He certainly didnt stand out especially in the game I saw. Obviously hes an intercounty player so hes very good. I just wouldnt say they will be alot worse without him Wexico. That's a bit demeaning to the rest of the lads."
I wouldn't say its demeaning in any way its just being realistic, its the same as saying O'Hanlon would be a huge loss to the Jimmies or Devitt to Kilanerin/ Tara Rocks missing key players for a club is a big loss.
Replying To Viking66: "Last years league Taghmon played mainly senior teams and beat half of them. We still ended up having to beat Cushinstown to avoid getting relegated to Inter A come Championship. League form is completely irrelevant. Also Fethard were probably missing their senior intercounty footballers and hurlers and likely their intercounty under 20s and minors also. Oulart dont have any senior intercounty footballers or hurlers to be missing sad to say. Hopefully some of their up and coming minors stick at it and Shawn Murphy gets back to full fitness."
Ah yeah. I said there were all sorts of other considerations involved, and Fethard being without county men (both hurlers and footballers) was one of them. There were a few others unavailable for different reasons too. But it's still a result of at least some relevance when people are discussing the relative merits of the two clubs.
I'm sure as anybody else though that a championship meeting would be a different story altogether.

Oulart have been playing an internal tournament the last while so are probably a few weeks ahead.
