Read this on the back page of the weekender. It says he's currently playing for Belvedere, travels up on Saturday morning for training, plays on Sunday and comes back down on Sunday. He's in transition year in Summerhill.
Surely if Rovers are serious about promoting young talent, enquiries should be made about this fella? He could be brought into our A-Team and given a chance?
There is another lad in Sligo that actually just missed out on an international cap anemed Johnny Kelly that should be looked at class act although i think he is just going 17 i think.
O'Mahoney trained with A team. Afaik, he doesn't want to join.
Yeah i used to play with barry when i was younger and he is very good.
Another good young prospect is conor "owl" griffen. He always stood out when i played against him as a youngster. He's playing center half for the u-20's atm(he used to play center mid). Who knows,we may even see him in the showgies before the end of the season.
As cookie said at one of the meetings last year,if we want to progress as a club we need to develop our youth system.
Bit optimistic do ya not think! Hes a good aul player but not ready for a while yet.Quote:

O'Mahoney was good but the player (Fallon) in the centre with him who is a sligo rovers player i think was excellent. think he is from mayo
Danny Fallon, yeah he's with our A team/U-20's.Quote:
