Rule for playing senior is that you have to have been 17 on the 1st January of that season. Would explain why he didn't play senior club last season. Thats the rule for club anyway, maybe different for intercounty but not sure if it is or not. Old enough for club then surly old enough for intercounty

Don't think it is going to make any difference. Not like we are going to go and play it again.

Surely at 18 you’re an adult ffs. Obviously lads develop and different rates etc but I’m sure McGuinness wouldn’t have played him if he couldnt hold his own.

Might be wrong, but going to presume you are from Cross.

Which makes it strange that you would ask the forum about a Cross player, that I'm sure you know plenty about.

A quick search on the Armagh GAA site will also tell you that there were 5 Cross players named in a 52 man squad - that's 10% of the team. So maybe let's put that old wives tale to bed that Cross players aren't getting a crack at the County panel.

Because Geezer has a dying love for cross. Last Armagh manager to do anything at inter county came from there
