Still a bit away but going off team line-ups published on Twitter, looks like the following will be playing Fitzgibbon (And Freshers)....
DCU Seniors - John Sunderland, Charlie Roark, Darragh Farrell, Tom Kirwan
UCD Seniors - Ciarán Doyle, Conn Mernagh, Simon Roche, Doran Daly O'Toole, Páidí Doyle
DCU Freshers - Jack Young, Ronan Shannon, Énán Quinlan, Conor Fanning, Danny Scallan
Think Jack Hennessy, Oisín Moore, and Alex Lafferty are all with Maynooth

Agree there wont be as many as 2019, think 2019 to 2023 was our highest level.

Enniscorthy CBS up against Peter's in the first round of Corn Uí Dhúill on Tuesday at 11:30AM in Pat's Park, looks like the game will be on Clubber as well

Caught the Enniscorthy CBS-Peter's game there on Clubber, had it on mute so couldn't catch any of the names, CBS has Matt Butler in goal, Alfie Sludds-Murphy at centre-back, Brian Ivers, Jamie Downey (Centre-forward in the first half, looked like midfield in the second), and Rhys Wickham (Full-forward in the first half, centre-forward in the second from what I saw), Peter's has Oisín Caulfield at wing-forward, didn't really recognise any of the other names from a county set-up perspective
Ended in a draw and conditions looked to be circuit enough, thought there was a good intensity to the game in the first quarter, died off a little then until the very end where it picked up again, thought some of the general play working the ball up the pitch was decent enough but some of the shooting from both sides in the first half was very poor
Both teams looked to run the ball a good bit, CBS in particular were very good when ever they tried to run it, Peter's seemed bigger and stronger though and they seemed to win nearly every breaking ball, their forwards were a lot better than the CBS forwards at winning their own ball IMO
Wickham was quiet enough IMO, Downey was probably their best hurler at breaking through tackles and winning dirty ball, he's smaller than I thought height-wise although he's very powerful
Peter's had a lot of height and their S&C looked good, think they had a lad called Alfie Whelan in at full-forward wearing a white Cooper, don't think he scored that much but he was a general nuisance, big guy and was a handful for CBS
Don't know his name but Peter's #7 in a black Cooper looked good to me, tall enough and very athletic looking, looks like he has a lot of S&C work done
Draw probably fair enough on balance, two sides get out of the group and go to the QFs, one of those will almost certainly be Mullingar CBS who are after giving the hiding of all hidings to Coláiste Eoin (5-33 to 0-05), others might have been impacted by lads playing in Dublin county finals but that's very, very poor considering they're the only Dublin school in Senior A, Dublin South gave our combined colleges a walkover too
Mullingar CBS could be genuine contenders, Mullingar isn't a hurling town but a lot of the WM hurling clubs are very close to Mullingar, WM minors were very strong this year

Peters goalie was Dempsey from Oulart, he started for our minors last year. Caulfields workrate was very good, and he didnt get sent off.
Tomas Kirwan played county minor, and Whelan.
Rory Durack played minor this year. Pretty sure he was 14 for Peters. 3 good Barntown lads.
Bryan Kennedy from the Annes was 7, he started for our minors this year too.
Jack Quigley had a decent game at 11, he was on the county u19 panel this year and is a tall lad too.

Great result for Marys Junior team, they beat Kilkenny CBS in the Leinster Junior A semifinal.
Some of these lads might play Senior A for Marys this year too.

Are they giving more attention to gaelic football these days?
I know they beat Good Counsel in the senior football by 1-15 to 3-7 last week.
St Fintans in Sutton and even Terenure College seem to be beating Colaiste Eoin regularly now in Dublin schools hurling.
St. Peters putting a big effort into the hurling this year by all accounts

Yeah, thought Kennedy was good for the Minors this year

Don't think it was that bad a game tbh, others might disagree but was well-contested, thought it was a better watch than some of the games in our Senior club championship in terms of intensity to be quite honest

All told, it's very poor for Dublin hurling that Dublin South pulled out and Coláiste Eoin were that weak today, people go on about how bad things are in Wexford but that makes Dublin looks miles worse at underage
Think Mullingar had 13 of the WM Minor squad starting and they also had two WM Minor footballers playing for them

Looks like the Combined Colleges are away to Offaly in Birr at 12:30 on Saturday
Offaly Minors didn't even make Tier 1 this year and their Minors last year were humiliated by Laois but they beat Laois combined colleges at the weekend by 2-14 to 1-09
Tbf, Harps players from Durrow in Laois might go to school in Johnstown so they wouldn't be eligible and Cistercian have always played in Leinster so I'm guessing they'd be eligible for Offaly schools, means their combined colleges side could have Tipp players
Nothing wrong with this IMO but it's basically an Offaly Minor team as they've no school in Senior A
On the other hand, you've the Wexford Minors from the last two years minus the likes of Seán O'Brien, Rhys Wickham, Matt Butler, Alfie Sludds Murphy, Jamie Downey, Jack Cullen, Robbie Kehoe, Seán Kavanagh, Joey Tobin, Seán Doyle, Bryan Kennedy, Martin Dempsey, Rory Durack, and Jack Furlong (And I think Jamie Kennedy and Énán Quinlan as well as they might have done 6th Year last year)

I did think underage is improving in Wexford, but we're still way behind IMO.
