You’ve got Thomas O’Connor, Dara Leahy, Trev Clarke, Tyreke Wilson in the 98-99 Group and Ledwidge who has been involved from a younger group. There’s no standout really. But there’s plenty of lads at a similar enough level who are probably ahead of him right now.
My take on them is that Leahy is defensively the best. O’Connor is the most composed and best technical footballer and Clarke is the best dribbler and tackler - Kenny described him as a ‘raider’. Wilson might actually be the quickest, he was recovering from injury when he was involved in Toulon and looked a shadow of his former self. What I’ve seen of him this season, he’s more or less back to what he was. Lightweight but quick, aggressive and technically sound - but he really can’t cross a ball to save his life... Ledwidge looked good at 19s but going up to 21s struggled.
You’ve also got Furlong who looked great for the 17s last summer and Ogungbo (spelling?) who I believe like Richards can play either centre back or left back. Feel like there might be someone else I’m forgetting in that centre back / left back mould from 2001
