Replying To iarmhiabu:  "The 5 amalgamations were given unanimous approval, St Loman's/Shamrocks, Tyrellspass/Moate, Tubberclair/Tang, The Downs/Kinnegad/Killucan and Athlone/Garrycastle, should break up the Caulry monopoly."
I agree with this. Caulry are going the same way as Ballygunner in Waterford - winning every division from U14 right up to senior. It's about time the Caulry dominance needs to be put to a halt

Replying To the21yardline:  "Your correct. The goalkeeper and center back really should be scoring more"
and what about the other one? The one that just scores a handy free and just isnt cutting it at this level?

Probably no need to be personal on a young player just because you don't like his club.

He was taken off wasn't he? Didn't play well and McHugh rightly took him off. No major complaints from anyone. In your view, who is the second caulry who isn't contributing enough on the scoreboard?

Correct. This forum offers variety of opinions but personal criticism of players is not acceptable

I've personally have no issue with his Club. I take issue with all the over hyped comments in regard to that Club on here. Its beyond ridiculous and it has made that Club a laughing stock at this stage.

As regard the second player - an error on my part.
I'm all on for young lads to be given time but he seems to be getting more time than others. We need scorers to help Luke etc and if he isn't in form or is not at this level then we need to give others a go. He's not the only one either. Cooney or Molloy don't seem to be getting the same amount of chances. They may not be the answer either but they deserve a go.

He missed all county games last year trough injury his played 2 games this year not full games I'm sure it will take a few games to settle in " I think your a bit of saying his not at the level .
