What exactly are you trying to find out about him? If you could let us know I might be able to suggest a few people to contact via e-mail if the admins allow it.

Totally agree on the corn ui mhuiri. It should be a great contest. Some real quality players on show. Paul O'Shea is a terrific talent alright. For me he was one of the best minors of the 5 in a row, up there with the likes of David Clifford, Mark O'Connor and Sean O'Shea!

100% , pauls vision to go for goal from the 45 meter line in last years semifinal when the goalie lost the ball was pure Kerryness .

He should have got an allstar and he was badly wronged imo.

I hope this wind dies down before tomorrow as it could ruin the game.
