Thoughts on next years captain? Id like to see biggie captain. Not always a team player but leads from the front and the role might help develop him into more of a team player.

I would leave Kevin Reilly as captain and that I'd what I believe they will do. Biggy is not captain material I think and the rest of the squad are still inexperienced and also Stephen Bray is the wrong side of 30 for the captaincy and already had it before.

I agree Kevin Reilly is still the prime candidate for the captaincy IMO. Perhaps Menton, Newman or Keoghan could be given the chance in due course

Biggy. Defiantly not captain material yet.
Kevin Reilly was a good captain and I see no reason to change it.
Of the younger lads I think donal Keoga. Would make a good vice captain.

A bit of continuity ... keep Kevin as captain. He did all you could ask of a captain. Why would we change him? Because of tradition? ... nonsense. Leave him there and let's build on this year.

Reilly as captain for me, Keoghan or Menton as vice captain.

Yeah I'd leave Kevin Reilly there alright, although if it were to change I'd give it to Paddy O'Rourke, a great year between the posts and he certainly has the ability to fire up his team and talk the talk

Reilly again without question , biggy needs more mileage to be even considered in fact there are others way up the que than him

Kevin Reilly is definitely top choice for captain. Paddy O'Rourke would be my last choice!! ... Top 5 in order for captain: K.Reilly, B.Meade, S.Kenny, S.Bray, C.Gillespie. Most others are not experienced enough or are not leadership material (thats not a negative on them)

Just wondering how do you reckon Conor Gilespie is more experienced than Paddy O'Rourke or has more leadership qualities, nothing against Gillespie at all think the guy is a great footballer who will get better but I'm curious as to your thinking!!

Skryne were a decent side....onece!

I'd let kev continue for another year. But biggy as vice captain might be good option. Donal still a bit young imo. paddy o if not biggy.
