Do Gort / St Agnes / St johns / oisins / sarsfields / Tir na nog / Carey / cushendun really have 3-5 players of county standard each?

Probably not 3-5 but there's always a superstar in every team.

Gort - Young McClean and Panzer McCann junior (was always a very very cpable GK)
St Johns - Well already have Simon McCrory, McFall.  Gareth Clarke is a half decent hurler and i'm sure there's merit in seeing if they have any other younger players coming through with potential.
St Agnes - I'll give you that, of the players that went to the trial, i don't think any of them would be real contenders to make the panel.
Oisíns - Have good experience in Division 1 now for a number of years, Tosh would still be capable i'd say and there's a few i've seen playing would be up to the pace - at least making the panel.
Sarsfields - Another few years and you'll know two lads in particular - Niall McKenna and Gary Lennon - two prospects.
Tir na nog - Magill could play no problem, as could Colm Duffin i'd say.
St Galls - Gaga, Mackers, big Anton could if he trimmed up possibly. No doubt one or two younger stars and of course they already have the best hurler in Ulster in Karl Steward

To call it a waste of time is a bit harsh.  As you said, everyone deserves an opportunity.
Really? He's decent but not the best hurler in ulster.

Magill, from Cushendall is good enough if he commits. Magill from tir na nog not even close anymore.  Loughgiel have good players and have a number of certs. Ding, neilly, scully, DD all good enough as well but they have put in a big club effort and it remains to be seen. Some of the younger lads could push for a place.

KS is one of better players in the county. Definite first 15.

Ding Gillan would be 34 so I doubt he will get a call.

i dont think he was great in his prime. martin scullion as a back would be worth having about
the difference between success and failure is energy

A ballymena/south west  man come Loughgiel man talking shite as usual! Karl Stewart would get on any team in the county but doubt he'd bother with the bodies
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Martin Scullion looked good in championship but I don't think he would make a breakthrough to the half back line. McAuley and Graffin too strong and rumours of McManus being played CHB next year.

Karl Stewart is in my top 3 hurlers in Antrim. Would have to think who to put in there along with him ???....A Graffin and A Nother

If there was a players player  of the year he'd be the favourite I reckon

Mr2 when I say down pecking order don't think he would be in my top 5 in ulster but a very valued member of first 15, but not best in ulster.  Ding gillan no, scullion don't think so either.

To progress your point you would then have to name your top 5.

Well Watson most talented but can be looney tune, mc manus then, fully fit Campbell,  braniff, Clarke,  have to say imo would be more valuable than Ks.  Have u a top 5 yourself kinder.  All based on opinions of course.

Braniff and Clarke? Ten years ago maybe. I am not sure I have a top five but I will try and work on it over the weekend.
