Hi Lads
Heard former Blues player P.J. Banville had a good game for the Wexford Gaelic Footballers today.
Does anyone know of any other former e.L.o.I. players who are now playing for their counties in hurling or football

Hi Lads

Does anyone know of any other former e.L.o.I. players who are now playing for their counties in hurling or football
sean flannery, michael mcnamara, johnny davey, phillip gallagher
Stephen Hurley and Stephen Lynch, though not sure if they're at county level. I think both may have played there at one time though.
Jason Sherlock. :) Eóin Keating.
Lots of ex GUFC players have played GAA for Galway. The highest profile ones include Michael Donnelan, Norman Costello, Ricky O'Flaherty and Fergal O'Neill. Current keeper Gary Rogers has played in goals for Meath. GUFC chairman John Fallon played in Croke Park in an All Ireland Minor Final.
A few ex-Wanderers lads have played for Wicklow. Leighton Glynn, Wicklow's current best player, is the one name I remember. There's Stephen Hurley and Gary Rogers as has been mentioned. I know there a few others.
Emlyn Mulligan playing for Leitrim aswellQuote:

Actually, believe it or not, Niall Sheridan spent a season playing up front for LTFC. That's when we were really s***e!
eric bradley played in midfield for wexford today im sure he played up front for waterford united at some stage a few years back.
LLoyd Colfer formerly of UCD, SRFC and Bray played for his local Taghmon-Camross (Wexford and Ivan Yates) club in the recent RTE Celebrity Bainisteoir.
Brendan Devenney played for Harps and Donegal GAA.
Played for the Youths last season.Quote:

Did Leighton Glynn really used to play for Bray???Quote:

Ibrahima Thiam Iyane played hurling for louth for a while .He was bloody good at it !
They tried to sign him but it all fell through, he never played for us. Tommy Gill did though and he's still turning out for Wicklow.Quote:

Hopefully Westmeath lose out early in the Championship and we get him playing soccer again.
How to put this in a non-racist way but, is that the black lad? If it is who i'm thinking of then he never actually played for Ramblers just the U21's.Quote:

Eric Bradley (played under Paul Power, bishbash, about 5 seasons ago?), Robbie Griffin, Dan Connor, Lloyd Colfer were all with us too in recent years, but don't remember them playing GAA while they were here.
To drag it back in time, John Frost definitely played football at county level for Waterford while here, possibly intermediate though. I've a feeling that Alan Reynolds did likewise.
Ex-Ramblers and Waterford utility man Robert Brosnan used to play football with the Cork minors and played a few challenge games for the senior side.
A lot of the current Rams team play GAA with their local clubs and I have no doubt that a few have played with their counties at some level.
Was going to edit to put Brosnan in. Damn you rambler14! :D
He was famously (relatively) let go last season for lining out for a GAA club side a day or two before a crunch Blues match.
Ya he's some gobsh1te from sligo afaik!! Do you know him?!Quote:
