Replying To rossie4sam:  "Without 2-3 from Strokestown and 7-8 from Brigids now till you would imagine 3rd round of the league it's a big ask now in D1. On a positive note Colm Neary , Conor Hand , Bobby Nugent Rory Fallon. All seem to be flying. Interesting Sean Trundle seems now to be Brigids go to man marker they have big trust in him."
I doubt it will be round 3. All could be available for round 1 if Strokestown,Brigids face All-Ireland semi-final exit, afterall will be facing strong Ulster opposition.

A reminder of the dates

All-Ireland semi-finals Senior and Intermediate January 3rd/4th

Should Strokestown reach the final it's on January 10/11th

If Brigids reach the final it's on the following week 17th/18th


We play Kerry (A) January 25th and then at home to Monaghan on February 1st which is when I expect all those club players to return should they reach All-Ireland club final.

Great win for Brigids. Played some lovely direct football at times. Plenty of mistakes as well but their workrate is something else. How did Burke waste a talent like Conor Hand? Paul McGrath another lad very dynamic and big workrate, can't help thinking if he was in Donegal McGuinness would have him moulded into a key transition player.

Conor Hand was outstanding last Sunday and gave Sean Kelly at center half back an absolute roasting scoring seven points from play. No doubt he has the talent, is very fit, has huge speed and can kick off either foot. However it is a little unfair to say that he did not get a chance with the Rossies. He has been a little inconsistant in some games. He was outstanding against Monaghan in the Hyde but was average in a couple of other league matches.
He has a very long stride for his height and seems to glide over the heavy ground at high speed. I think if he tried athletics he would have many a great 400m runner.
He should get great confidence from his performance last Sunday and I look forward to seeing him starting in a Rossie shirt for many years to come.
Best of luck to St. Bridgets in the All Ireland semi final.
