Interesting to note Liam 2020 that in your profile it says your club is "Kinnity". Could you tell me where this is place is?

And amazing to think someone from "Kinnity" doesn't have Johnny Flaherty in their team?

I stopped reading the teams after noticing Mullins was not the goalie in any of team.

He was and is still an exceptional goalie if you followed him closely over the years you would realise he was well ahead of any other goalie we had.

maybe mullins was/is and i wouldnt argue with you that hes an exceptional shot stopper. but damien martin had an all star got and had played many years for leinster, and was regarded as one of the top keepers in ireland for years before offaly "came"
