Many heading down to tralee Saturday? Massive boost with both Clifford's out albeit we will be without the Glen contingent following their well derserved win. Really looking forward to the year ahead. Will be a massive result to start the year by taking 2 points away from kerry. Then our neighbours the following week. Great to be back at the top table. I have a sneaky feeling it could be another long summer 

What's everyone's plans for Saturday then? Is it handier getting down early and parking close to croker and getting back to parnell for minor game? Or Park at parnell and get to and from croker to car? Shocking from GAA to fixture both at separate venues.

in reply to sheamy, yes forgot to put conor nevin in simply because i think he has been asked before but hasnt the time to play county football. a very good player who in my opinion should be on the panel. also i forgot the likes of brian og mcalary, kevin moss mcguckin and  aidy mcgloughlin. all decent players who would all add something to a panel. the worrying thing about derry at the moment is the lack of quality defenders. we always had class defenders like sean marty, kevin mcguckin, niall mccusker, kevin mccloy in his best days were all among the best in ireland. unfortunately we lack a big presence at number 3 and an all rounder at 6. b mcgolderick is the only player i can think of who could play 6 with the exception of conor nevin.

after looking at some of the posts on here regarding some of derrys best 15, i have decided to have a go at picking my own. unfortunatley the current derry panel does not represent all the strongest players in derry. for different reasons some of our countys top players are not in the derry panel. any way here is my go at picking a panel if all players were there to represent derry.
