What county would have the best XI. Players must be born in the county and must of played LOI e.g Waterford would not be allowed John O Shea but Wexford can use Kevin Doyle.
Maybe pick your counties best XI from 1990-Present
I'll go with 4-3-3
Waterford:
GK: Brian Murphy
RB: John Hayes
CB: Kenny Browne
CB: David Breen
LB: John Frost
RCM: Alan Kirby
CM: John "Chilli" Power
LCM: Shane Robinson
FW: Daryl Murphy
FW: Noel Hunt
FW: Paschal "Snackbox" Keane
On a related point, would every county be able to name an XI?
We're obviously talking non Dublin then?
Nope Dublin XI aswel. A lot to choose from but you can try. Maybe you could break it up into north or south
Hanley
Keane Sinnott Hawkins Davo
Russell Seamie Foley O'Donnell
Faherty Molloy
It's a bit strange to call the thread 'Hometown XI' if it's based on counties and not towns.
Sorry but he should only be allowed play for his REAL hometown club.Quote:

Clubs should be encouraged to have more players from there town/county,this would make for better future Ireland players and a good sense of pride within clubs.

Based on players I've seen since '98 with one obvious exception, Joe Gamble for the token Queenstown man otherwise.

I'm sure there's many others who deserve to be in there, but I'm not sure who was actually in UCD and who wasn't. All the above are scholarship recipients.
No Tony Mac?!Quote:

Tony went to DCU afaik.
Thats a big problem in the league, such is the number of journeymen players, very often its hard to identify with players who move after a season and are only there to pick up wages..Quote:
