Any word if club formats are being changed this year? I heard there was numerous suggestions at the meeting from clubs but all shot down

Mulligan
Byrne Treanor Wylie
Hughes Ward Kelly
Mohan Gallagher
Irwin Bannigan Carolan
O hanlon Woods Mooney

Maybe Kelly isnt fit to start and maybe Duffy comes in there. Be a big risk going with duffy and Hughes both at half back. Ronan boyle could come in if hes going well. Ryan Wylie wil start for that experience in the full back line although hr might not last the 70.

Will Byrne go out on Conaty at 11 as he tracked O donnell last week?

Its a toss up between Garland and Mooney, mooney prob just shades it given woods can take the frees off the left foot.

Goalie is a toss up too, Mulligan prob gets the nod as he has long range frees in his locker.

Irwin and carolan at the wings although stewart could get a nod there for his physicality and have carolan coming off the bench. Stewart could be a better match up physically for a Jary Og burns type wing back.

Kelly went of injured last night for UU in the Sigerson match with Queens. G Mohan and Boyle played well in the match. Wasn't their fault UU lost.

I think the starting 15 will be very close to what you posted. Maybe Carey or Hanratty in for Kelly? Maybe Boyle in corner back with Byrne moving to HB? I don't see it being a case of Garland or Mooney, I think both will start with O'Hanlon in half forward line ahead of Irwin or Carolan.
