kevin is a great player, but you would have to class him as league of ireland. he is probably one of the best i've played against in town.

a good question would be the best junior player that did not play any higher....

21/02/2006, 9:20 AM
christy reddan for natural ability
Pat boland as the complete player
Kevin mc carthy just behing the above two...

The only ones that i can think of that would add to that squad that did not play LOI are sniffer, James Houlihan , Owen Lynch, Badger? and also there is a question mark regarding Aidan ryan .I think that he played with Limerick Fc in the 80's as far as i recall
