Family lives in Killucan I think but don't know if he's of Dub stock. Could well be. Vinny used to rate him very highly when he was here a couple of seasons ago, Dean would have been 17 or so at the time I think.

Dean Clarke played for us against Premiership legends in 2008 under Vinny Perth. He hasnt made his first time debut as of yet but has played in friendlies in the past for us..Quote:

Aaron Shanahan(MOM imo) ,tomas hyland,Kevin Cronin, Derek Tyrell,Philip Byrne, John Lester, JP McDonagh, Mark Sammon(triallist ex Athlone Town thanks ruairi h!),Peter Hynes, Derek Glynn,Ian Byrne(shamrock rovers A ). Subs: Cathal Brady, Niall O'Reilly(ex Athlone town), Chris Deans,Stephen Conlon, Dean Clarke)
Pats look very strong this coming season and had a variety of new signings on display.. shame on the pats gouriers who spat at one of our lads and his wee brother at the game:mad:. They were at our side in the first half acting the big man.. I was ever so glad to have seen them disappear in the second half..
Derek Glynn missed a great chance to equalise whilst on one to one with Gary Rogers and Rogers saved easily from him..there was no sign of David Freeman at the game so I am wondering has there being a change of heart with him coming back?
pardon the pun there marty!!Quote:

He had heart problems when he was with us and thats why he couldnt play for the last few months he was with us, but we looked after him through it all then he did the dirt on us
Did the dirt on you by moving to Longford for a pittance?
Thought your no 7 last night (JP something) looked a good footballer. Centrehalves knew what they were doing too.
Happy enough with our performance. Early days but lots of optimism about (for a change)
A few out of the crowd were thrown out (some were stopped going in too). Disgraceful carry on from a few drunk teens.
Thrown out cause I told the stewards I was leaving after been spat on disgusting little s**mbags, freeman got a cup final jersey and was a no show on the day. a young lad could of got to experience cup final day if he had of been just upfront about it
Yeah he got cup final gear and a new suit etc . Not to mention the extra three weeks wages we paid him because the manager wanted him to be part of things on the day. Still there's no point going on about it forever more. If he's back then hopefully he can contribute something on the field.
Sorry, thought Tallanted was a drogs fan talking about Sammon. Total wrong end of the stick there... Apologies Tallanted
No worries, Sammon looks half decent from the couple games ive seen him in, missed a sitter last night thoughQuote:

A Kildare Co fan posted on our forum that a lot of the clubs were after Mcdonagh before so we are delighted we have him now..Quote:

I could be wrong but is O'Reilly a striker?
Ash would be the man in the know on what postions Mark Sammon and Niall O'Reilly play in... answer him ash please!Quote:
