Fastest GAA Player Over 100 Metres

In relation to the post below, (All-Ireland Semi-Finals 23rd August - Free Tickets) has anyone any ideas on who the fastest players on their county team are, and yes, that includes hurling as well.

I don't think we have anyone on the Laois team ' cause they can't even get to games, on then hurling team maybe so I will leave it up to ye lads to nominate who you think. Eddie Brennan from the Cat's if I was to give it a punt.

Johnny Davey from Sligo would have to be worth a shout.

Think I read somwhere before Ricky Nixon saying out of all the young players they had at the trials that Tommy Walsh was the fastest over a certain distance... Don't think 100m though think it was shorter...

Doesn't Usain bolt play for Antrim?

Think one of the Bradys (?) from Antrim was a former sprinter

Mickey Linden is 46 but i bet yous he would still take the majority of county players over that distance

Hmm tough one.

Club - We have three rockets at our club - Phillip McEvoy, Ronan McCoy and Kevin Dyas.

County - Nobody standing out. Clarke is decpetively fast and McDonnell a few years back. Mallon seems rather quick (Andy)

Ulster - Mackey is a rocket alright. I remember seeing him at minors and compromise rules and he was the fastest on show.

Ireland - haven;t a notion.
