“Scott is 19, he’ll play with the under-20s next week we hope, which is an important tournament for those guys. We’ve had a lot of communication around Scott and we’re trying to do what’s best by him,” Cullen said.

No sign of Tommy O'Brien for UCD, which is odd, hopefully hasn't re-injured himself.

Hasn't stopped players being named and playing for their clubs.

Ronan Kelleher, Gavin Mullin both named to start for their club this weekend and i'd expect them to be involved as 24th men tonight.

O'Brien also absent from training on Monday.

As I said I hope he hasn't re-injured himself.

Has Harry Byrne ever played for the senior squad in a competitive game?
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

more that none have separated themselves from the pack and stood out as likely future academy players as you would hope or injuries have stalled there progression.

hopefully those still in school have strong SCT campaigns and those out of school can get back on track.
