Replying To ElGranSenor:  "Had a look at the names on the teams who made the Rackard League A Final

No prizes for guessing which team had players with the surnames Quigley, Codd, Barron, Higgins, and Ruth playing for them!"
Wouldn't one of those be more a Rapps surname historically?!!!

For next year, more than likely with new management if we can avoid injuries ( unlikely )
I really believe we might surprise many followers of the game.
It seems obvious but Cian Molloy looks like he has what it takes to be our new centre back.
Richie Lawlor could then play as a half forward which I think is his best position.
With Jippo full back and Patsy in centre back it would add enormous strength to our defensive spine. That has been a weakness for quite some time now and you won't beat any of the top teams if your central defence is lacking in physique and ball winning ability.
It's been said many times on here and elsewhere that it is hoped that the likes of Jippo,Chin,Jacko and Kevin Foley don't deside to hang up their boots at intercounty level.
All four still have a lot to offer for at least another year or two.
Cillian and Cian Byrne would add depth to the forward lines and I would have faith in Jack Redmond.
We are not by any means up to standard at the moment but if we can play like we did yesterday for 20 minutes and extend that throughout the 70+ minutes ( not easy I know) then we will be back in business and ready to take on the big boys.
