4. Peter Healy
5. Dermot McAleese
6. James Laverty
7. Ronan Boyle
8. Kevin Small
9. Kevin Rice
10. Marc Jordan
11. Ruairi McCann
12. Patrick McBride
13. Dominic McEnhill
14. Conor Small
15. Adam Loughran

With everyone fully fit, this would be my pick.
Haven't listed a #3 as fullback is a problem position and genuinely not sure what the best solution would be. Niche position so reluctant to shoehorn a player from a different position into full back.
Would love to be able to add Niall Delargy and Matt Fitzpatrick to this team too.

What about Jamie Lamont at full back? Hogan Cup winner worth a go

Where is Liam Quinn ?when at McCrory he was unmarkable

Roman Boyle has  a touch of the Loughrey about him and could kick on massively in the next few years

Naw he said it was Cargin, but undoubtedly such was a wee bit of flattery..........
MR2 has been an avid follower......first man at the Omagh venue.....reminiscing on glory days....

I don't know enough about Jamie Lamont but hopefully he turns out to be a good option for us. Most difficult position on the pitch.
No doubting Liam Quinn's talent but has been badly hindered by injuries the last few years.
Ronan Boyle has impressed the few times I have seen him. Definitely county material.

[bannside]

There are dozens of players who turned out to be great county players without setting the world on fire at 20. Too early to say whether those guys are good club players or indeed county standard,  but they deserve the space to develop accordingly without being judged harshly on here.

Re Sean O Neill - different gravy in my book. When he departed the play due to injury Aghagallon opened up a large lead in the county final. When SON came back on in the second half he was instrumental in Cargins recovery. I think he could start for us in the championship.

Andy Mc's mate lol. You're good craic G&T.

[EOC1923]

C Hynds is 21,same as Boyle,let's be brutally honest,they are nowhere near county standard,as for Sean O Neill,no doubting his class but to expect him to be starting as well is madness( his time will come) especially when Bannside says his mate Andy Mc prefers big strong men that can run all day

Sean O Neill in top 3 Cargin players in terms of importance to the the team winning, young player of the year last season in Antrim, coming 22 years old. IMO one of the best players in Antrim never mind best young players. Will be bizarre if he's not an automatic starter in the NFL

Do you think physical wise he's up for the challenge at the minute? I'm not in any way saying his skills are not county standard, quality player and as you said one of the best players last year

[country bumpkin]

Sean og, is coming 21...
From good stock, Ciaran O' Neill / Sinead Mc Cann..Ann's agree with EOC will be surprised if he does not occupy a start berth come the league..

We are 20/1 to win Div 3.....

I suppose it will take McEntee more than a few weeks to get to know the scene and what he has and what he hasn't.  The quality players should catch his eye eventually.
