Super 8s

“In the Super 8's the cream has really come to the top with Dublin, Tyrone and Kerry already through – the last big game is Donegal and Mayo – that should be a humdinger. It will be interesting to see who wins and then we should end up with the top four teams in the county in the semi-finals”.

 

On the look-out for talent
Dermot McCabe said they have put a list together with a view to attending as many games in the coming months as possible in the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Championships.

“We recently meet the players to have our season review, to see where we can improve and progress things for next season."
He went on to explain: “The lads expect a high standard and we all expect a high standard – they really work hard and commit a lot of time to this. So, they want to try and do it right. We are happy with some of the things that happened in this season and we know there is lots of stuff we can improve on and we will try and do that in the seasons ahead.”
