The above was the team and subs that went to Louth and got beaten on the day 4-06 to 0-12.Pauric Sullivan and Diarmuid Donoghue came on from the bench that day.Wonder how they will get on next season?

I would expect that into that you can bring in Dean Bracken or David Lowry in goals, depending on whether you want Lowry outfield or not, Ken Casey, James Rafferty possibly, Rory Connor might have a shot, Paul McConway and Seán Ryan will be involved, and I wouldn't rule out a role for Alan Lynam or Michael Verney either.

A lot of decent footballers there all told, but it doesn't strike you the same way this year's panel did. But then look where that got us.

What about others? There must be some other possible squad players.

Are James Coughlan and Rory Guinan overage next year? Nigel Grennan? Mark "Chino" Cole? Padraig Bracken?

Apologies for not knowing the players' ages. I'll have to start keeping minor and U-21 programmes. There should be a database somewhere!
