Leinster Minor Hurling Champs 2000.... where now?

[allstar2010]

As we have seen in recent challenge matches, Cordial and Brown are back on the senior team... hard to believe that its 10years ago that these lads were on the team that last won a leinster minor for the county.... can anyone list out the players and subs from that minor panel and say where they are now??...

The Kinnitty lads:

Enda Grimes (Wing back): Been on the Kinnitty Senior team since that day in a variety of positions. Most effective at midfield

Eoghan Carroll (Midfield): Did some serious damage to his leg/hernia not long after and never got it fully right. Currently on the Kinnitty Junior team

John Clendennen (Used Sub): On and Off the Kinnitty senior team for the last 5 or 6 years. Can be a goal threat at times.

Also. Robert Dillon (K/K) was in goal for the first round defeat by Dublin. Dylan Hayden started against Galway.

Gary Maguire was in goal for Dublin. Derek O’Reilly, Conal Keaney & David O’Callaghan lined out for Dublin. Sean O’Neill was build up by the Dublin media as the next saviour of Dublin hurling after he scored 3-2 against Wexford in the semi final. He never got a puck & ended up starting a row at the canal end and getting put off! He was never heard of again.

The Galway team features Ciaran Callanan in goal, Eoin McDonagh (a grand hurler who never made it), Diarmuid Cloonan, Derek Hardiman, Conor Dervan & David Tierney. John Culkin (pronounced Culkeen on Galway Bay FM!) was on too, he was a senior panellist at 19 before disappearing without trace.
