I suppose is there anyone that was on it last year who is unavailble to commit this season ?

if there good enough they won’t walk but if not good enough they won’t get picked for panel

Well yeah... But i meant that there wont be many lads not wanting to play seeing as who is in charge. im sure most be will chomping at the bit. The way you want it

Kildare second match in o Bryne cup in Carlow centre of excellence in Fenagh has no stand there and as open as curragh

Any aul whispers of who is in or out, or did I miss an announcement?

A few more Naas lads will be in the mix surely too.

Still unknown who in camp at moment

There normally a few players are dropped after o Bryne cup is over

Game v Westmeath now has a throw-in at 1pm

Won't see or hear of any additional Naas lads until they're knocked out.... but agree we should definitly see a couple when they are free

Is this going to be ticket???

All games in Gaa are now all tickets games

Tickets can brought through Leinster gaa website only

Not good:

The O'Byrne Cup clash between Wicklow and Meath has been called off due to injuries and Covid close contacts in the Garden County squad.

The close contacts side of things will be near impossible to dodge for teams. Look at the amount of panels with teachers who are back in school now too...

Is the match being streamed anywhere? In case the virus catches me.

Moved to the 13th now I hear

This is the Carlow game, Westmeath one still tomorrow at 1pm.

Kildare v Carlow Thursday night

1pm tomorrow

Will be interesting to see what team he puts out and how they setup. You'd imagine he'll be giving lads a chance tomorrow but I wonder have they had time to develop a style of play - Will we find out more about Glenn's philosophy I wonder???

Probably a bit early I'd say

There isn't too much time to experiment and you look at the team Kerry put out too in the McGrath Cup. I know it's the first game and you want to see who is there, but it's a very tight turnaround.

Any word on the team, a bit disappointing that it's not named yet,.only 22 hours to the match.
