Conor Murray of the Dearg, the bright young thing of Antrim GAA this time last year, isn't on the list.

Seems a strange omission. Any ideas why?

Philip Maguire of St. Teresa's would also be worth a run.

I can see a bit of mileage in the CJ thing but the other two McGourty boys are definitely out. Kieran, who would be my first choice CHF, is alleged to have pulled out once he saw that a full round of NFL fixtures was listed for 14th February.

[Glensman]

Always thought Murray was a bit light.
Is he still under 21? At uni? Hopefully both of those would help him.

Less than a month to the first game.
Good test at the start...away in Armagh!

[bannside]

I agree with you SS2, Ciaran the best CHF in the county at the minute. A bad loss.

But its strange there hasnt been a bit more discussion on the omission of Sean Kelly! Whats the inside track there MR?

[ONeill]

I think it has been well known for a while that Sean wouldn't be playing county football. No fall-out, just easing off on commitments.

Was he sub in the Cavan Gaels match?

[bannside]

Aye Minder he was. Probably his hamstring injury was the biggest reason St Galls lost out to Gaels. He was put on the last 15 minutes down in Newry against Mayobridge when the game was in the balance, and swung it for St Galls. Aggravated it then again though.

Ciarans injury and Niblock geting hurt early in game left them badly exposed for ball winners and play makers in the half forward line.
