Keeper surely, Byrne is some athlete, would probably make a good outfield player! You'd think both Healy and McCabe will be strong contenders to get into the full back line again. Walsh to play further out, midfield?

How many do we have unavailable in the current squad?

Healy
McCabe
Hynds
McCann (Aghagallon)
Loughran
Johnston

Are there more? Are the above all in the squad?

There's more than that out presently!

Ryan Murray, Conchiur Johnston, Conor Stewart, Patrick Finnegan, and Stephen Beattie come to mind, all hopeful of playing some part as they year goes on.

Most or all of these 5 would be hoping to start/play championship under normal circumstances!

Kevin Small maybe won't make it back this year at all.

Beattie I think won't be back in a hurry. Forgot about Stewart and Murray and didn't realise on Finnegan.

To get 4 points considering how many we're missing is some going. Most years we wouldn't get 4 points with all those playing.

Great photo on the back page of the Irish News GAA supplement - shows how much the win meant to the players

I suppose the sharpened knives will stay in the drawer for a bit

Have we a decent chance on Sunday?
Should be a good crowd at it.
Any news on the injury list ,Stewart,Loughran and big McCann massive miss to the team IMO.

Down are a decent team and regardless of how we played last year this is difficult

imtommygunn · February 17, 2024, 10:19:22 AM

Tough game but will be a good barometer of where we are are. Dare I say it but if we win in with a big shout of promotion....

If we had happened to beat Meath last year I think we'd have beat them in the final. Lot of change this year though.

BrendanAntrim · February 18, 2024, 06:18:31 PM

Very disappointing performance today. Thought we looked like a team from a different division. 1.6 won't win many games
