Their best player (shiels) yesterday is only 28.
By contrast two of our thirty plus year olds broke down mid game yesterday and we went from chocolates to boiled lollies.
Including McEvoy the number is 10 - he's 30 in July.
problem is all the old guard (and throw in Breust 29 in November) - are their best players. Shiels their best? Not.
Burgoyne, Roughy, Poppy, Birchall, Frawley, Henderson, Smith, Stratton, McEvoy.
That's the guts of their best (yeah, yeah there's O'Meara, Hardwick, Mitchell, Shiels, Sicily)
Finals, then 4 in a row!
