Now that the dust has settled, a very disappointing weekend, wicklow never gave up and with 10mins to go i was nervous as we have not won a tight game in nearly two years. Since div 3 league final, we have beaten london, antrim and laois.
I have mentioned McCabe performance on sideline before, calm and thoughtful he is not... K Martin seemed to be coming on three different times sun but never got on. Only two subs used and team were tired in last 10mins.
I don't think it was a terrible year as we were competitive in 90% of games, but the results don't read well. Hoping for a good club championship now, identifying new players to make the step up is key.
When jack cooney was involved few years ago, he had a group training in background, getting 18/19 year old ready for physical demands of senior intercounty football. Baker, mcCartan, geoghan, cooney, leech, scahill, smyth, whittaker, martin, were involved after minor in this training, I presume this is still going on after Jack stepped down.

When you are playing the league games against clubs who had players on the county panel. When you meet the clubs again, there will be a lot stronger. You will have to best teams like Loman and The Downs and Shamrock just to name a few

I don't think any team are ever certs for any championship based on league form, it probably shows they have quite a large and strong panel right now but so will other teams with returning players for the championship. Themselves, The Downs or Lomans, I think those two might have a bit more individual quality when it comes to the right games.
