In my opinion Jay Dillon and Niall Hanna are talented players who wouldn't have been far of the mark at U16 level and I personally felt that its an absolute disgrace that Caolan Corr and Gareth Devlin did not make u14 Dev Squad they didn't even get a trial. Gareth although he played midfield for our U14s and the Academy he is an excellent coner back unbeleivably quick and great disciplined tackler. Caolan Corr is a very skillful player qually adept in both attack and defence. I know they're only young lads but I feel they are definately good enough.

its the same with Clonoe. there is one player that should have been on that u14 dev squad and thats Danny McNulty. This lad is even good for u16s. Also padraig Donnelly is a quality player and is only 15years old and is very big and strong. definetly 1 4 the future.

Donaghmore- a would have ti say Deasun Quinn and Kevin McGuckin are proabably the one's to look out for in the future from our club. Both quality players. These two boys were the main players in our under 16 team that probably gave Naomh muire the closest game in under 16s this year.

FAO: HILL MAN

As far as I am aware, and please do correct me if I am wrong, the U-14 Development squad managers do not scathe the County for this talent. An email was sent to every club in Tyrone asking them to nominate up to 3 players that in their opinion are of a higher standard than club level, who excell for their club in other words. Also, the clubs had to fill in a form given reason as to why each selected player is of a higher standard as this rules out clubs sending half of their panels.
If the clubs did not nominate any players, as has been the case from so many clubs, then it is not up to the Managers to go looking for them. This was clearly stipulated to the managers, and too the clubs, that if they were not nominated then they could not possible be seen by the U-14 Development squad managers.
You must also understand that there is no recognised competition for this group of players, it is merely in preparation for the further Development squads e.g. U-15, 16 & 17 and then to Minor level and to give the future managers of these respected ages something to work from.

I hope this clears up any nonsense in regards to who should and who shouldnt be on the panel!

PS- If you knew the managers in question you would know that no bias or likings has been taken to anyone, they are working with thse players who were in attendance at the series of trials that most clubs failed to inform their own possible nominees that were taking place!!!!!

Finbarr McQuaid was part of the all-ireland minor winning team.

Steven Mullan. Can't understand why this lad has been over looked for development squads. One of the best corner backs in the county at his age.

Were Brackaville not in our grade also???? for U14? Clearly there could quite possibly have been a mix up with nominations or communiction etc as our Youth Officer stood down and we had to appoint a new youth officer. I'm not trying to imply a bias against our club and in fact I applaud those who take the time and effort to work with dev squads as they are probably involved in their own clubs also. We have had quite a few players who have made it into the development squads such as Cathal O'Neill, Conor Gavin, Ronan O'Neill, Joseph McKee, Niall Gavin, Sean Slater and Jay Dillon who had the misfortune to break his collarbone last year so clearly I don't feel theirs a bias and its merely a misunderstanding.

So clearly there is no bias as for a small club such as ours we have had a fair share of players. Development squads by no means guarantee selection at minor as to date we have only had one county minor in recent times and thats my point with regard to the players from our club its obviously easier to play with better players and you would get the opportunity to play in your best position which isn't always the case at club level. I don't think its fair to put any lad down and normally trials etc highlight whether players are fit to cut the mustard.
