Not a kk hurler to be seen on fitz team?
They have more important things to be doing… Like passing exams and winning all Ireland’s senior titles
Colm Begley???the most overrated footballer in the country,,,
Very very true colm always thought that about him. Think it was his stint down under he’s still living on that.
David Hyland from Kildare should be on that football team. He was Excellent All year.
Andrew Ryan(Mary I) has to be on that team.
How James “Notions” O Mahoney (C.I.T) doesn’t get a look in defies all logic. Stupid selection which favours the big colleges.
Tipp are looking strong at underage.
