Did they have him lined out at half foward? I'm sure its posted somewhere, but I can't be arsed looking.

He definitely is a tidy wing back for sure.

So is Sean Kelly just done with the county for good then? Seems like he would have 2-4 years left at least.

It was reported that he is eligible because he's living in Belfast. No club move as far as I know.

That cannt be right? Surely that's not sufficient to change your county?

Living and working in Belfast apparently. Its obviously allowed otherwise he wouldn't be playing. Dublin teams have had players from all over the country playing for them

What are the chance Omagh will be playable on Sun? Any sign of a thaw in the afternoons up there?

I find this one strange considering he is still playing with Omagh.

There hasn't been much of a thaw here the last few days although the forecast says it's going to get milder over ther weekend so game should go ahead.

A few Antrim ladies were playing with Bredagh in Co Down a couple of years ago. Seems to be permitted alright.

They all played for their 'home' county, whilst playing for different clubs...

Stefan White played in a few different counties to where he lived!

The likes of white and padden change club to be able to play in their adopted county.

Are either of O'Neill's parents from antrim? given the clare example, i think that would allow him to play?

Winnie Peg · January 21, 2011, 10:08:20 AM

All the Culloville and Cullyhanna boys that played for Cross!

i think clare were only allowed to use parentage because they were designated as a 'weak' county, i couldn't see antrim getting away with that now, especially as they are in division 2
