No inside info but I think this team probably will start ( unless we have injuries - announcing same team can be cover for this ).

Cole not being selected is probably harsh but John Clarke should be given another chance - he is one of best 15 players in county.

I dont see that Murphy did enough last day or anytime since his first two or three county games to warrant selection.

New Keeper
M Cole
D McCartan
B Grant
R Murtagh
D Rooney
J McGovern
J Lynch
D Gordon
S Kearney
A Carr
R Sexton
A defender - Dee rafferty is well equipped for the sweeping job if fit. Only success in sligo last year.
B Coulter
P McComiskey

I thought Jackie Lynch did Ok once he is fit to play I'd give him another go. Agree about keeper - varying kickouts has been a problem for a long time now

Murtagh was excellent yesterday but wouldnt count on seeing similar transformation in Benny if moved out. He has loads of talent and linking up with unsung Ronan Sexton was excellent yesterday . He  just seems to go missing at certain times - whether through fitness or not I dont know. I hate to see him hanging in behind marker hoping bounce will beat the defender. Looked very one footed yesterday too.

More ginger denial. Deenihan looks pretty ginger here.

The use of product is muddying the waters here but Jinxys sounds like he has been in the changing room with these lads.

Giles was always a marginal ginger and is dropped . We will put dowd back in at CHF then.  

I am struggling for a replacement for O Connell . Will I let AZ have two Fitzgeralds. Are all Fitzgeralds ginger ? Was Seamus Clancy from clare a ginger?

O'Connell

Spillane is a strawberry blonde surely ? ( Good one 5 Sams BTW)

40 mins  .

Ok AZ. You should have one Fitzgerald. ( your pick)

I think Giles ( the younger version) should moves to CHF with Dowd  relegated to the bench,where the Donegal Duo and Freeman replace O Connell and Tate.

I'd like to put Barry on. Who should we drop ? I think Hassett has to stay on account of multiple medals.

Ok.

Sexton scored the two goals and hardly got a mention.

Murtagh was man who took responsibility ( twice) in closing stages.

Dan Gordon did lots of good stuff.

Carr is agood link man - brought others into game.
