Rosskarr may want to write off the younger players who put in a tough shift against plainly superior opposition yesterday but our rebuilding has to start somewhere. While O'Hare might have taken a couple of wrong options, he also managed to score a goal six minutes into his first competitive appearance. Perhaps we might allow him to complete at least one game before we dismiss him at the age of 20. Lynch may or may not reach inter-county standard but he was one of our steadier performers in a defence which was overrun. Magill, although he was actually better against Monaghan, and Murdoch, have obviously potential, and, together with Gilmore and Kerr, give us some hope that 2023 could represent an improvement on an almost entirely disastrous 2022.
