    That could be said for every other league that enters also.
    It’s up to a manager to get guys on board and playing well for him.
    The players being there to begin with is the hard part and that’s already the case to be fair.

    I wouldn’t have said that 3 or 4 years back, not that there weren’t great players there just this year there seems to be a huge number of top players spread out along with one amazing side to create a core from.

    For my opinion you need the Coachford boys on board and i would think the last thing they would want is another team to play with.

    Some of their top lads are going full tilt all year round as play football and hurling and are going well there also
    The last thing they want is another team especially one that means travelling all over to play with.

    The body can only take so much.

    Completely understand that & it’s a solid point. Surely the best players in the other leagues play other sports also though yet they put a team out.

    Goalkeeper, not sure maybe Murphy with Knocka
    Back 4 Kiniry Mark Murphy Scoops Bradley
    Midfield 3 Adam Murphy Zack McCarthy Vinny lonergan
    Front 3 Casey, Lamanov, Cialan o Sullivan

    Just off the top of my head lads, few heads like Galvin, Bullman etc all more than capable of playing as well, good problem to have, but again all purely hypothetical

    It was well know last year that grangevales players warent involved cos their manager ad the hump hewasn't picked to do it.
    After the mess the ballyphehane manager made of it (including playing himself), they have gone heavy with grangevale involvement this year.
    Be interesting to see if many of the cows players play.

    Yeah I found it strange when he was playing himself in a representative team. Surely someone would come along on the day instead of that.
    Not like he was the greatest player to begin with either.

    The teams chosen above would certainly beat anything the business league has to offer in my opinion.

    Half the team they picked didn't show up on the day and stayed in the pub watching a game.

    Right management in place you would definitely pick panel of 20 players to compete but it would have to be done fairly players spread out from few clubs cause you’d need every club to buy into it and management would need to be from few different clubs to in my opinion Donal for sure and 3/4 more to be involved

    With the coachford lads a representative team would be good but to call a spade a spade the coachford lads have bigger fish to fry and have nothing to prove in that. Without them a team would be very average and probably get spanked by a Waterford team. The CBL having a team is a nice ego boost for a few lads, mostly the grangevale boys and the CBL blazers.

    Danny Donoghue with Castleview
    O Callaghan brothers at Cathedral
    Palace with Banteer

    Even lower down the divisions these lads all capable of making a serious AUL squad with all the prem players mentioned

    Very true,any team he tried playing with and wasnt the manager,he never got a run.
    That's including pearse celtic juniors who were div 4 but somehow he was good enough for cbl team.
    Possibly could have been left down by lads but surely he'd find someone that could actually run.
    Be great if the aul would throw in a team but committee will probably save the money for end of year p**s up instead!

    The 2 o'callaghan brothers very handy players.the lad Morrison at rathcormac be wortha look aswell.
    No shortage of attacking talent anyway!
