I was having a debate with a few lads the other day about the best players who are not involved with Kildare at the moment. Decided to have a crack at picking a team. Tried to confine it to youngish players - with one or two obvious exceptions

1 Robbie Eyres (Clane)
2 Pádraig O'Flynn (Moorefield)
3 Kevin O’Neill (Moorefield)
4 Seán Murphy (Larries)
5 Darragh McEvoy (Celbridge)
6 Declan Brennan (Rathangan)
7 Tommy O’Neill (Larries)
8 Niall Browne (TMH)
9 Ross Glavin (Moorefield)
10 Paddy Murray (Moorefield)
11 Mark O’Sullivan (Celbridge)
12 James Eaton (Athy)
13 Danny Egan (Clane)
14 Gavin Smullen (Ballyteague)
15 Conor Mellett (Naas)

Plenty of others out there in the county who I could have picked. I wouldn't have the greatest knowledge of the Junior or Intermediate clubs so there's presumably quite a few I've overlooked. Who should we be looking out for in the club championships when they eventually get going?( hopefully in early October!)

Not a bad team, strong backline, I'd probably leave out Browne, Egan and Mellett though.

Tom Byrne is one of the first to spring to mind as well... and Conor Brophy

Looks a decent team. Things are good when you can pick a team outside the top 30 or so that still looks strongish and there's still guys that could be added.

Might be a bit biased but what about

Terry Rossiter
Daithi Cash
Daryel O'Brien

and definitely

Gavin Smullen

Tom Cruise what about Andy Dermondy from your club he was there or there abouts on the junior team.

was just going to ask about dermody, didnt he play for garda in the sigerson a year or two ago,surprised he hasnt been involved in the juniors at least.

Dont think he made the junior panel after the trials. Although wouldnt use the juniors as an indication of talent - plenty of players opted not to play for that team this year but would be highly regarded around the county. I can see where these lads are coming from with the team and training this panel did they should have won a leinsnter, at least.

jaysus tom ur some messer, heard u were calling for rossiter for man of the match against meath!!!! 2 clane players is fairly strange considering their poor form, bit of bias maybe..........!? good few of those players in that team have seriously gone off the boil!!!! cash is a very good player tho.

i have seen many of these play this year and im sure some will get a chance in the future. sean murphy was very unlucky to get injured and could have been involved with the seniors. also tommy o neill will get a chance but maybe not at centreback.ollie lyons looks like a very good talent , quick and good defender seen him for the juniors this year and barry noone looked good in the forwards for them too quick too and can score. Smullen is a great man for a goal and very strong maybe needs better discipline. phillips and glavin have got chances before but are playing great football and this could help moorefield get the championship back and mcgeeney give them another shot.
