There are some. Not sure of them all but at least 2 were on the TUD team beaten by Queens Wednesday night - Prendergast from Greystones and Fee from Roundwood.

Conor Fee and Joe Prendergast started for TUD the other night, Jack Hardy on the bench for Maynooth. That was it as far as I could see

Great to see Carrabine back in the squad. Hopefully he's fit in next couple of games. Harte back also and will surely start on Sunday. Need a big performance on Sunday to get the league up and running. Keaney didn't make the squad that's a pity as looks a very good player. Apart from that very strong squad.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023:  "24 def left behind bit if stretch to say would won 22 if better keeper up front that year galway seemed lack depth"
22 maybe but 24 if we had a goalie of Hennelly quality we would have scored a few more frees and probably done better in retaining kickouts and won.

Even though Gleason has improved aspects of his game unfortunately his kickouts have not and in reality his kicking in general is not good enough for county level Also they need stop brining him up taking frees he misses most of them , in my opinion unless they change keeper long term not just for a game every now and then Galway are going to be stuck where they are a top 6 team and no better

I disagree ,Gleeson is always made the scapegoat.... if we are honest, the kickouts aren't happening in isolation. Kickouts are a team and system issue! Galway have struggled for years to consistently win clean primary ball, especially against top sides. Changing the keeper without fixing that doesn't suddenly solve the problem it just shifts the blame as we like to do.

On the frees, he's missing a high percentage, then fair enough, that's an easy fix. Don't bring him up. But that's a management call, not a reason to write him off as a county keeper.

Saying his general kicking "isn't good enough for county level" feels harsh when Galway often go long by design, movement for short kickouts is poor, midfield contests are regularly lost, opposition presses are reading Galway's patterns easily.

A new keeper won't change Galway being a "top 6 team" as you said unless their kickout structures improve and outfielders start winning more ball, Swap the keeper tomorrow and you'll still see the same problems if the system stays the same.

Blaming one player for Galway's ceiling ignores the bigger issues that have kept Galway GAA just short of the top for a while now.
