Kildare bottom of the league know that they need to start getting points soon as dropping out of Sam is a real possibility based on their league position and championship draw.

I can't see us making a raft of changes with perhaps a few bench returns.

It's definitely a long time since we played in Carlow and I was last there at a club game which even then was a parking nightmare. The conditions could well be a major factor on Sunday and the later throw in time a real pain. Now to decide go through the Midlands or stick motorway and pay the rip of toles...

Yeah if we beat Kildare it looks like tailitian cup for them, they have Donegal, cork meath and Louth all teams that they could beat but they have as good a chance to beat Kildare, would be a disgrace for that team to be in that competition

I think Kildare have a good chance of qualifying for the AI as a provincial finalist. They're on the easier side of Leinster

Good win for Ulster uni in sigerson final, Emmett Magee playing from clan eireann, any county player I talk to says that competition is the closest standard to count football, we have had some players play over the last 3 years with very few on the county panel. Hopefully they can start making more of a push, lads like Sean McCarthy, Sean rock, Kieran Hughes and Conor McConville among a few that havent played county after starting at that level

Paltry looking though compared to Tyrone's 7 starters. It was a good game with the goals having a massive impact.
Peter has obviously passed on his diving skills to the weans, any touch at all and they were reaching for the swimming goggles. The poor lad marking Daragh was left flabbergasted on a number of occasions with the referee's gullibleness.

Yeah Armagh generally don't have great numbers the last few years, seems like st Mary's has the bulk of players from Armagh, be good to see them push on and push to get on county panel, yeah some soft frees in the game but ref can't keep up with the game, you look at that Ulster team and 2 lads that start for Fermanagh on the team then the 2 caravans who start and young cush who will probably break through in next year or so the. Loughlin plays for Derry and the full back plays for Monaghan, standard is high so that all bodes well for young Magee to hopefully push on as it's in an area we could do with improvement and as he is just in uni so is still very young,

I hope your right with those changes, but we have a great bench there if needed,

Not that it really matters the way football is- McGrane was named in corner back the last day but spent a lot of time in our full forward line making runs to create space. Named positions don’t mean much.
