Replying To WonTon5:  "Have watched Colleran play for NUIG twice this year and he is there most lethal forward. Also waiting to see Shane Mcglinley make a breakthrough, Galway couldn't handle him at underage but i haven't heard much of him in the last year or so. The Heneghens are such a talented family as well and you can add Niall Heneghen as well, Dunmore Community School were very fortunate to have all of them pass through over the years."
Eoin Colleran is showing well for NUIG in the Sigerson cup, just turned 23 a few weeks ago so at an age that he should be showing what he can do at senior intercounty level now that he's been given an opportunity under Mark Dowd.

Shane McGinley hasn't established himself at senior level yet but still young doesn't turn 22 until April. The Heneghans will be big additions in the years ahead if they can keep themselves fit a issue for all of them especially Cathal.

Replying To moros:  "Whatever about laughing or celebrating your rivals demise the fact remains that Brigid's have gone and won their All Ireland in recent times. Clan failed on five occasions even to a Wicklow club back in 1990 when they finally thought they'd get over the line. That brought an end to that era of final losses. Pearses on the other hand have only reached a semi final and were well off it when they got knocked out. We know who really has the last laugh tbh."
The Clann team that contested four All Ireland Club finals in a row would wipe the floor with this current Brigids team.

No he didn't commit last year and then this new management obviously don't think he's good enough. To be fair we have a lot of forwards and a lot around the same level

Very early to call that as this Brigid's team have another 10 years to do what they have to do. This Brigid's team if everyone sticks together and they bring in 2 or 3 younger lads will win an all Ireland in the next few year's something that clann team didn't do. That clann team were special but unfair to compare both. This Brigid's team are so young still and have so much ability. They will win an all Ireland

I would think the opposite as the current Brigids team average age is 23 while that Clann team that contested four All-Ireland finals in a row would be average age 73 now.

No they wouldnt cant compare eras brigids would destroy clann with there speed, physicality etc. Eras cant be compared roscommon today would beat the all ireland winning roscommon team without much fuss that is the levels the game has gone to.
