Has a younger brother, Paul, who is a GAA/Rugby prospect too, played wexford minors this summer and involved with Leinster u18 clubs at the moment.
He's certainly far better where he is than playing for Wexford footballers! :roll:

Although that lovely charge down against England was textbook football muscle memory. His coaches in the Vols GAA club would've been happy with that!

By the way, we've had a lot of success with bring through ex Wexford underage footballer forwards in recent times...

They normally run that camp, or at least for the last 7/8 years they have, not sure on the excluding two schools (the two junior fimalists) bit but that could well be what they normally do too.
Any squad lists or do you just know schools?

Rock & Michaels lads don't need much help getting to level required, other schools do, so its good to see.

Michaels JCT team from this season have two players with the 18 schools side in Baird and Gunne.

Yeah it's standard to not have the two finalists not involved at this stage due to how the trials work. I was more alluding to that it's good to have smaller schools in there even though you can expect the squad to be trimmed down as well as having a load more to come in by the time the matches come around.

Odd, I thought Martin was still in school. He is certainly still under-18.

Both are young for their school year, Justin Leonard is still 17 and is not turning 18 until December , quite young for someone who is just out of school, will be interesting to see if Leonard and Martin get any game time this year in the Ail

I see...both must have skipped TY. Martin isn't 18 until 2020.

Martin is almost a certainty to make the academy, it's just a matter of when.. could play irish 20s three years in a row. If he plays 20s this upcoming season..

Born in 2002. And no, no one has been good enough, young enough and out of school.
