We begin with Niall Brookwell's contract renewal - presumably these announcements will be released on a periodic basis between now and Christmas:

It looks as if the club might be heading towards a more full time model, at least with a significant number of players on full time contracts (rumour has) and Brookwell on a multi year contract would certainly confirm that thought process.

The reality is the division is starting to follow suit, the way things are going. How sustainable it all is only time will tell, but one thing for sure is that in the short to medium term it is unlikely we will see a part time club gain promotion.

We need to get Teahan tied up, but if a premier team comes in then he will go for sure. Recruitment is so important- looking forward to see what Healy (& Dennehy) do over the next few weeks. Season expected to start a week earlier too so most teams will be back pre season training this side of Christmas, getting deals done early is important.
