What position does Mark Durkan play for in Kilcock, or is this just another wind up? If it is, it's really not fair on young guys to build them up when you're only having at laugh at their expense. If he really is good enough then the Kilcock club should be contacting Bryan Murphy to get him a trial. If he's good enough, Murphy will want to have him on board.

If Durkan is good enough for a u21 trial he is certaintly good enough to even get a trial for the minors. Moolick really impressed at the u21 trials and there is no doubt he will be a key player for the minor team this year

Minorstillidie ur never from athy... Tommy Moolick will play midfield and John Comerford centre back prob as moolick's ability to score at least 3 points a game from midfield are priceless.

I dunno if i can agree with johnny byrne and marcus duke being corner backs. Id put them wing backs. far to strong and mobile for corner backs
