Was talking to Tommy Lyons on Saturday after ballina played mayo and he told me that for sundays game against nuig they only had 19 players to pick from. for an intercounty team to be so depleted at this time of year because of college commitments is a disgrace especially when the sigerson cup is played over just a couple of weeks.With the colleges having first choice over which players they want its the county teams that will suffer.i think the players should have a choice who they play for especially those like kilcoyne ronaldson and the other fringe players who are trying to make a name for themselves at county level.
