There's a good few in the Queens panel who would strengthen it. J'Town too though maybe not so many there.

Who've we not got from last year? Loughrey isn't playing? Then Kelly / McGreevy?

Is Kieran Close on the panel?

Pretty sure Dean O'Neill is a halfback. Mark McAleese definitely is. Terry O'Neill, a half-forward, is named in the half-back line. Surely the experiment of playing half-backs in half-forward last year didn't work.

Dean O'Neill normally plays wing half back for Omagh alright. Baker continuing his fixation with playing 4 wing backs on his team

It was more an experiment of playing no HF line at times!

Niblock would have to be CHF with a full team out. McCann in there too so hopefully we get one more from the McKenna cup...

anyone travelling down to the game in cross? realistically this could be our only chance for silverware this year, i hope not though. Hope the new boys can step up to the plate.

How did it end up? Didn't get to the match and there is no word of it on the derry thread
