You not think with a full panel they could win an all ireland or two in the next five years?
Maybe even three
1983 & 2012 All Ireland Champions.

Now you're getting carried away lol. In my book any team that cracked Slaughtneil, with a young age profile like Dunloys, must be thinking about mounting a challenge at this level. The 5 players missing would all be in the mix for starting placed under normal circumstances,  so there's panel depth too. Will take a good team to beat them in Ulster for next while and question is can they find that next level.

As said before if in 2023 Dunloy are meeting Slaughtneil again in an Ulster championship game, it'll be a 50/50 game for me.

Slaughtneil were poor by their usually high standards, some of that is down to Dunloys workrate, but the basics were poor which they normally aren't

No one saying Slaughtneil are a bad team or are finished by any stretch, but Dunloys new generation are stepping up and have all bulked up too which was the missing link a few years ago. Plus there are a few marquee forwards that successful clubs need.

With those 5 available they also gave a panel of 22 plus which is needed at this level.

Plenty to like about Dunloys current situation and scope to improve further. Is anyone saying its unrealistic for them to be targeting an AIC or two?

Anyone for The Dub tomorrow night for the Mageean Cup final? Should be a good game.

Yeah I am going to head up.

I lost one, maybe 2 Mageean finals while at St Louis back in the late 90s, so it would be good to see a St Louis win!

Just couldn't ever seem to beat St Marys CBS back then.

Johnny Flynn used to be the man for them at that age. Quite a few good rossa guys too.

Think that pitch would be hard at the best of times
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come
