there is great potenial in the team but they don't seem to be able to work together

not many of them would have that big an interest in county

although they do have have potentially outstanding forwards ie. Coner Keegan, Marty Mulvey, James Noonan

ffgg have you a clue what have thomas kelly and darren quinn done for their clubs this year???? il agree with you about bernard crawford he has proven his worth by getting a starting place on abbey senior team but dont judge conor keegan and james noonan. keegan was the mainforward 4 hi sminor team this year nd form what i hear played outstanding alll year! and james noonan is definatly a great player 2 hav on the team!!

darren quinn and thomas kelly dont play senior sure so how can you judge them....if youd gone 2 matches at the agegrup for the last few years youd know...those 2 ar in a league of their own at this agegroup

flame09 your a bit narrow minded there. if these lads are so good why werent't they on the minor team dis year?? I'll agree wit ya darren quinn and kelly are 2 of the best forwards at this age but theres lots more talent out there.

rafa (None) - Posts: 168 - 20/10/2008 16:43:48    122728

tink thomas kelly is a minor again next year thats why he couldnt play with the team dat lost the leinster semi.

wil it be the same team as the u16 county team 2 years ago or will ther be new players if so who??

ric flair:
that doesnt make any sense - the majority of this years county minor team were involved with the team the year beforehand. just because a player is in their 17th year doesnt mean they arent eligible to play county minor!!

if thats the case how come young conor clarke was told the day of the fr.manning cup shield final(after him playing in all the other rounds) that he could not play with the county u16's cause he still had 2years left to play even doh he was overage for u14??

Ric Flair (None) - Posts: 180 - 04/11/2008 12:25:59    133276

thats a completely different situation ric - thats a 14 year old playing u16, world of a difference between that and a 17 year old playing minor!!! the only rule i am aware of is that you cant play to age groups above your own i.e an u16 cannot play u21, u14 cant play minor etc...

PoteenPete (Longford) - Posts: 63 - 04/11/2008 17:50:20    133625

But sure he was playin u-16 with his club? And Pauric Gill has done it and if i recall Leon Doherty did it! Nothin more was said about them!
Thomas Kelly didnt play because he himself said he did'nt want to!
