Anyone who was watching  setanta  will know we have plenty of foreign nationals playing under age in Dublin. Some great talents out their and is great too see

P.S what the hell is the   all about ?

too right, I watched an u14 schools 7-a-side final on Setanta a while back and the Captain of the winning team was foreign- there was also 4 or 5 other lads on the same team of the same background and all were huge lads whom were far stronger than the rest. They look very awkward on the ball though but that will sort itself out. Good to see this sort of thing as it can only improve the game as a whole.

It's good to see tournaments like this being organised and getting more and more people involved. I think the Ballyhaunis club in Mayo have had a few lads from pakistan playing hurling under age for them for a few years. If memory serves me correct one of the lads scored the winning goal in a U16 All Ireland C Hurling final for Mayo two or three years ago.
