Replying To LongfordTownie:  "Graham for clonguish and Paddy dowd for cashel..lots of rumours but I think these 2 are through ..is there a new man involved as coach for county set up..lots of young dromard players called in ..young Kenny from rathcline I heard too..even though I didn't think he was great for rathcline ...who decides on these players or do clubs just send them forward ..any other players ,did any of ye hear got called in ? Colmcille had a few that shudve been asked ,did shane kenny get asked in ,he had a great year and a big man ..Rooney had a good solid year too at half back for rathcline ,surprised he isn't involved hes county standard ..Maguire an Mccormack from carrick good players ..is Johnston staying with Rathcline..Clonguish and Rathcline have most promising squads for me for next few years"

He was with them in 2011 and I think again in 2013 or 14 after his stint in Ballinamore.

I have both angles covered with my prediction......good reliable sources like Spinx lol
Is the Foley lad from Westmeath that was mentioned Conor Foley?"
Yep thats him . He was with a team last year in Westmeath. They would have been relegation contenders and they ended up getting to quarter finals and promoted in the league. Its strange that he left them though as it was only one year.

Seemly he was in Pearse Park on sunday at under 21 B game . Rumours were in was speaking to granard. no idea of connection to it though.

You have forever stated I'm a Clonguish man, so why would I know anything about what is going on with the Gaels? Now that I'm telling you what you want to hear you are not happy with that either? lol

Not yet. A few interviews had last week and a few this week. Ger Evans and Liam Belton were in last week. Rumour going around that Denis Connerton was interested, but I think thats just hearsay. If the players pull together they could give Intermediate a run next year. Some good young talent there.

Castledaly were absolutely not relegation contenders last year; they were predicted to get out of Section B and to the QF. Also predicted to get out of Division 3.

Thats the million dollar question . Can they come together . After the last two years , you would imagine they would come together as a group and drive on .

Ballymore will give them a run for their money where very unlucky not to make a semi final Kilashee will be pushing to win again same with cashel with paddy dowd and ballymahon Connollys under donohoe will probably take a semi final is he a good appointment I'm not sure
