Ronan Stead will surely have to be on the panel even if he didnt go to the trials

Would they have serious aspirations of reaching an allireland final? also wondering about their availability to play challenge matches against 'a' colleges. can anyone help me on this one?

why didnt ronan steed go to the trials. i know Eric Monahan had club commitments for the three weeks of the trials, but steed was only playing with his club for one weeks of the trials so why wasnt he at the other two? is he injured.

That team is very good on paper and so was last years team, but ther are 3or 4 lads ther hu culd easily find themselves on the bench.very strong team up the middle..without a doubt tho thomas flynn is gud enuf 4that foward line ahead of at least 2 of the lads ther.

Galwaymaster11:Flaherty should be centre back as he was cb last year and bohan fullback as he plays there with caherlistrane,also conor o halloran started last year wingback and i do think hes better than coughlan.Patrick Sweeney is good at centre forward but i do think hes best in full forward puttting Monaghan in the corner.Otherwise its a good lineup

O'Connell

does he have the engine for midfield

galway4life (Galway) - Posts: 179 - 27/12/2008 21:05:03    170797

Ya very good question.He's a good fielder and a good full/centre forward but there is still that question on him.Who else could play midf with steede?Elwood maybe. Who else is there?any suggestions lads??

apologises.....i forgot to put conor Halloran in wing back. Ive seen Bohan play with caherlstrne and his prefered position is half back line or midfield. Flah is a brilliant full back, if he play no.6 last year doesnt mean he automacially has it again this year.
what good keepers have we got?
all i know is breathnach, Healy, Forde, O'Sullivan, or is that it?
THink no.11 will suit this minor team better for p. sweeney..he dominate teh middle of the field and do his major runs and lay ball infront of monahan and conlon or whoever is there.

galwaymaster11 (Galway) - Posts: 55 - 28/12/2008 16:43:12    170917

It could work well putting p sweeney no.11 as ive seen him play there for killalinn in the u16 final last year and he still managed to rake in the scores.Not sure about conlon though is he good enough?seems to be too small although i could be wrong but i think o'griofa would work best in corner...

dunno now about eana o hoca?

galway4life (Galway) - Posts: 179 - 29/12/2008 13:02:42    171061

I think Shane Bohan would work better out the field maybe as a centre back or midfielder.He had a good patnership with Steed on the Ted Webb team.

adidas (Galway) - Posts: 11 - 29/12/2008 13:08:45    171064

yeah i agree cant see o heochaidh on that starting panel.. cant see o conell starting on any team either..
