Please tell me there's a lot more quality to come onto that panel?

[Milltown Row2]

Please tell me there's a lot more quality to come onto that panel?

Yes after tomorrow's 5 a-side we'll be ready for the team!!

[CitySlicker11]

Was Finucane on the panel during the championship last year?

[Simon Says]

No, The keepers on last year panel were Kerr and McSorley.

[The Worker]

From this years championship games, Gavin o neill from aghagallon was the one goalkeeper who stood out a mile for me.

Surprised he never got a call up.

[bannside]

A new era begins today - lets get behind them from the start.

Would take any kind of win today. Students usually a bit more advanced at this time of the year fitness wise, so nothing easy about this one.

[Gold]

What was starting team? Anyone make game? I was away so missed it. Anyone play well, stand out? any new players?

Was at it. Comfortable without setting world on fire but more to come in.

[Simon Says]

Kerr - no chance for both goals, kickouts were first class especially 2nd half- 7
o boyle- scored 1-1 and tough tackling man marker - 8.5
mc veigh- solid display and scored a point on his return to saffron colours - 8
lavery- played out of position, his man scored both goals - 5
scullion- up and down the line some great runs and balls into forward line - 7.5
crozier- decent in dribs and drabs, 6.5
delargy- not a bad debut, still a young lad, tried very hard. 7
michael mc cann- wasnt his normal self, maybe not fit at this stage, a few good catches and scores. 7
doherty- great shift, up and down, worked his socks off. unlucky for first goal. 7
murray- great take in 2nd half and powerful direct running caused problems 7.5
niblock- on the ball plenty, all over the pitch, worked his socks off some nice scores and assists direct running and strength are incredible. 8
b.herron had a great game and my man of the match, won a lot of kickouts and a few good scores great to have him back.
cunningham. not great from play but ever reliable from his frees. 6
pollock. few hefty challenges on the st galls player, wins alot of ball laying off to runners, could be a great find from dawson with his pace. 7.5
close- few decent scores, showed well. 7

All in all it was a decent performance for the start of jan, have to start somewhere. Two big games coming up in the next 10 days.
