McCartan and Drumm certainly missing anyhow, hard to tell how many others. Good to see some of last year's 20s been looked at, hopefully they get the O Byrne Cup to have a real good opportunity to see where they are at.

Hopefully Sam Smyth is involved this season also. He was a massive addition for last season.

The squad above doesn't really excite too much for the coming season!

I can only presume the following players must have opted out? As they are all better than many on the squad named above?

Conor McCormack
Shane Allen
Andrew Kilmartin
Ian Martin
Ciarán Nolan
Eoin Mulvhill
Daragh Lowry
Peter Clarke
Morgan Gavigan
Stephen Smith


Obviously missing the following from injuries and other reasons:
Joe Moran
Sam McCartan
Nigel Harte
Conor Dillon
Charlie Drumm
Sam Smyth

To be fair only maybe 2 at most of the above you listed has shown any sort of form at county level in the past so although very good club players they may not have the appetite for county or may not have the commitment required. I'm also fairly confident some of them have voluntarily opted out. Clarke I would think is with the hurlers.

Is he better to keep some of the 20s who may not be ready or discard them? Personally think we haven't carried enough of these type of players in the past and then when they are 23 or 24 have missed years of S&C development.

Peter Clarke and Morgan Gavigan with the hurlers I think. It's a big commitment if the above lads you named opted out. Credit to the ones who opted in

I think he got injured a few nights ago in training.

Allen is a massive loss if he hasn't committed. Stephen Smith has any several opportunities and I think they're better option within the county in my opinion.
