Looks like this is not just a Dublin GAA issue.....

Former Kerry and Kilmacud Crokes goalkeeper, Devon Burns, is set to join Ratoath with the goal of getting into the Meath senior panel. Robbie Brennan, the Meath manager, has reportedly asked him to make the move, and it looks like a smart step towards a future in the county team.
With Ratoath's strong setup, this could be the perfect opportunity for Devon to earn a spot with Meath. Keep an eye on this he could be lining out for Meath soon!

Didn't Brennan bring him into Crokes halfway through last year and dropped long time keeper Ferris?

Apart from anything lese, what message does this send out to the other goalkeepers in Meath, never mind the two already on the panel! If it was me, I'd be jacking to be honest.

All this needs to be nipped in the bud, Barney..

It can snowball very quickly, and by the looks of it, we are getting to that stage....

They would been like Ger having Fenton or McCarthy signing up with a Louth club so that he could out them on country team!
