Kilmovee Shamrocks-  the great J o mahony though i thik they could have been just shamrocks at the time
amyo daels had john fimm
Moygownagh Fat larry himself and in the FBD Pat holmes picked antonys brother David Finnerty for a few games
Closest thing  for Lahardane would have been  Padraic Garrett (RIP) dont think they had any one else

Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

QuoteMíchael Gardiner played senior championship in the 96 campaign. Based in Dublin management didn't know what a gem they had. Awful waste.

He played his first championship game against London in 96  ...... you'd spend a long time guessing who else ws in the half forward line that day with him ...... Pat Fallon and Noel Connelly ! He played with Ballyboden after leaving Ballycastle and was picked on the Dubling 'blue star' team in the late 90's. I remember him pretty much single handedly almost dragging Ballycastle U-21's to a win in county U-21 A semi final against a Knockmore U-21 team that featured Ray Dempsey, Peter Butler, Kevin Staunton, etc  .... until he went off in the second half having broken his leg ! ((That could have been such a break-through for the club as 5 or 6 of that team moved to Dublin clubs in following year or 2)).

His brother Padraic played a couple of FBD games about 10 years ago (played all his football with Ballycastle) while the real gem - Andrew - who also played with Ballyboden never got a chance at all. He made the Dublin 'blue star' team twice if not 3 times and never got as much as a minutes action in the red and green. A different breed of played to Padraic and Michael who were both wing forwards but as tough as nails - centre back or corner back mostly.

Why i am saying all this is that if all these 3 lads had been given opportunities in their late teens or early 20's and were allowed to develop for a year or 2 in a development panel then they would have been stalwarts in the county jersey for years - i am certain of this. For Michael and Padraic their chances came in their mid 20's and it was too late to mould them at that stage. They did not have had the confidence/experience etc when they went for minor or U21 trials and in playing for a junior club were never given the chances after that. How many other similar type gems are their in junior clubs throughout the county ...........

Great trivia! Are we talking championship?

If not Lee keegan (Westport), Shane nally (Garry) would be in.
Chrissie Barrett belmullet the same.

're Jom did he ever actually play with kilmovee?

Looks like a lot of clubs never had a rep.

're blast's point, some junior players don't get a proper run out. Definitely needs to be looked at. Hard imagine ballycastle were in an u21 A semi. I don't mean that in a condescending way, just never would have realised that
Mayo for Sam! Just don't ask me for a year

stephenite

I could be wrong but I seem to recall Colm Foody from Bonniconlon getting a few minutes championship action against London or New York one year

QuoteHard imagine ballycastle were in an u21 A semi

May memory is a bit hazy ..... but it was around '89 or '90 and it was against what was a star studded Knockmore team. Initially when i was thinking about it i thought it was a North Mayo final but i'm pretty sure it was a county semi (in Ardnaree) with no divisional competitions that year. As i said the club lost a few of the better players on that team but still managed to get to a county junior final in '93 losing to Kilmeena after a replay. Had we won the U-21 a few years before then those players would have stayed on and would have see us move up to intermediate and who knows from there.... club is a lot more progressive now that it used to be but unfortunately the numbers and quality ain't what they were - with a few notable exceptions, e.g.: Michael Forde who played midfield with minors this year ...... and had he not been in UCG last year then he would have been passed over..... and no doubt there are dozens like him that didn't were passed over cos they didn't have the extra chance to develop in a colleges environment.

Knockmore lost the 1989 U-21 semi-final to the Mitchels (after a postponement due to fog and then a replay) who then beat Charlestown in the Final. That Final was played in January 1990 due to the backlog in fixtures after the Senior team got to the AIF.

Mitchels lost the 1990 semi to Claremorris not sure about Knockmore that year.

OK, stand corrected. It might have been the north mayo before the county semi .... although mightn't even have the right year !
Anyway, point is there are plenty of raw nuggets playing junior football that need a bit of polishing and it is only through investment by the county board that such polishing can take place.
