Slightly off thread - Paddy Mcbrearty is 22 and has played in 6 Ulster finals which im guessing has to be a record of sorts ( certainly in Ulster )

Replying To MesAmis:  "Stephen Cluxton made his Championship debut for Dublin in 2001. The longest serving Dub by a long shot."
Watching the Leinster final I was thinking that Cluxton seems to be around for ages at this stage.

The last few years Graham did not play much, He did not play for the 2 years Eamonn O'Brien was manager and after that only played rarely for Meath due to injury.

Yeah he did, but had retired the came back, also was a selector, btw he is still playing club football, and is still some bloody player, seen him a little time ago, back plating half back made a run up the field , lads half hi age (literally) couldn't stop him, or even keep up with him, he scored a magnificent point.

Yeah defo man.

Byrne dropped a ball at Geraghty's feet for a Meath goal and he also sent his kick out over the line in Thurles before Maurice Fitz sent over THAT point!
