Aye lads, but is that not just normal? I mean every year there's a minor All Ireland winner (obviously - D'Oh!!) but very few of those lads from whatever county seem to make it (or maybe don't want to make it) at senior level. Can't ever remember hearing of any full minor team that makes it together at senior.hard to believe its 10 years time flies,very disappointing that not many off that minor team have went on to play for the senior team
I know what you mean. I think tho, with a smaller county like ourselves we should be trying to maximise every resource we have. Obviously there will be lads who never make the breakthrough for outside reasons, Tasker for example.Aye lads, but is that not just normal?

It is a good return when you put it that way. I suppose lads at 18 all develop differently and some drift away for various reasons. Maybe some just can’t hack the dedication needed for senior footballTo be honest we have had a reasonable return from a minor team. Morgan, Grugan Murnin and Rowland are current panellists. McVerry,McKenna and McParland former panellists. The likes of Pete Carragher would have made it had he not had so many injuries. Less said about Tasker the better. That’s a pretty good return in terms of moving up. The disappointment I would have would be that the integration between the u21 winning team and the minor team never really happened.
From 1992 minors you had McGrane, Marsden, McCann, Justin McNulty and Barry O’Hagan that became established. Was that any more than 2009 minors?
Kevin O’Hagan went on to play soccer that's why that probably never happened@bcb1 - I thought there was 2 McNultys in that squad.
McCann was sub.
Kevin O’Hagan was one player I thought was talked about as a potential senior, but never happened.
