Caolan McGettigan (Milford United)
Caolan just never makes mistakes. He is a good shot-stopper and excellent with the ball at his feet too. A very good goalkeeper.

Joe Coll (Glenea United): I played with Joe for Glenea Youths when he was only 14-years-old before Manchester United came calling for him. I think that says it all.

Conrad Logan (Swilly Rovers): I played against Conrad a good bit underage and played with him too in Ian Rush tournament in Wales and Milk Cup. He was a good man to have behind you for organising and shot stopping. An all-rounder, I’m not surprised he made it in England.
