Now that the dust has settled, a very disappointing weekend, wicklow never gave up and with 10mins to go i was nervous as we have not won a tight game in nearly two years. Since div 3 league final, we have beaten london, antrim and laois.
I have mentioned McCabe performance on sideline before, calm and thoughtful he is not... K Martin seemed to be coming on three different times sun but never got on. Only two subs used and team were tired in last 10mins.
I don't think it was a terrible year as we were competitive in 90% of games, but the results don't read well. Hoping for a good club championship now, identifying new players to make the step up is key.
When jack cooney was involved few years ago, he had a group training in background, getting 18/19 year old ready for physical demands of senior intercounty football. Baker, mcCartan, geoghan, cooney, leech, scahill, smyth, whittaker, martin, were involved after minor in this training, I presume this is still going on after Jack stepped down.

When you are playing the league games against clubs who had players on the county panel. When you meet the clubs again, there will be a lot stronger. You will have to best teams like Loman and The Downs and Shamrock just to name a few

Well now that the dust has settled-well nearly settled on last sunday's defeat and on the season as a whole I would like to say well done to the management and squad for the huge effort put in.Was never going to be easy facing into div.2 after losing at least 8 regular starters and with a very young and relatively inexperienced team.The only game that they struggled in was away in Clones to Monaghan and to be fair not many teams in Ireland go to Clones and get a result!!Every other league game and even championship game against Kildare we were well in it right to the death so well done.These lads have been training since mid november right up to mid June which is huge committment so hopefully this present management team and squad stick together and give div.3 a good rattle next year.Obviously we will lose a few from the present panel but im sure this years club championships will throw up a few newcomers for next year.
