I see Dessie is on board with the back room team, he might even play if they are stuck ???

Where did you see that about Dessie involved ? Big training panel at the moment I believe which will probably be reduced in the new year. A few new faces will get a run in the OByrne Cup no doubt.

Any word on any retirements? Last seasons squad was relatively young overall but potentially a few could have gone.

He'd still be just as good as what is there. That just shows you how poor we are for quality at the moment.

Would like to see some new faces/fringe players given a chance In the o'byrne cup. It's a good competition to give lads a feel for county football and see where they are at.

First time in a very long time have a seen a team with as many fresh faces or lads actually getting a game. Last 3 seasons have been the same faces even in early games. I wonder what the bench looks like for tomorrow's game.

I think it's very refreshing to see so many new faces get game time. We need to be continuously bringing through talent. A lot of our problems last year in the league was strength in depth and relying on the same core group of starters. It would be great to get a look at the rest of the panel in training at the minute. Has anybody any information on that?

Wow didn't see that team coming.
Brilliant to see Monaghan, Forde, McCormack and especially Gardiner getting a spin up front.
Hopefully that is the starting 15, Jack a devil for late changes.
Most of those had good club championships so fully deserved.
Let's see how Kildare line-up and who we have on the bench.

A few surprising additions to the squad from clubs who had poor/average years.
Definitely didn't see some of those players be part of the panel but great to see new blood all the same needs it badly.
