I think this team is more about a matter of opinion and some positions were extremely hard to choose as there were some other good candidates.

1. B. Cummins (Tipp)

2. M.Kavanagh (KK)
3. N. Hickey (KK)
4. O. Canning (GWY)
5. T. Walsh (KK)
6. K. McGrath (WTD)
7. JJ Delaney (KK)

8. J. O'Connor (Cork)
9. D. Lyng (KK)

10. B. O'Connor (Cork)
11. H. Sheflin (KK)
12. E. Kelly (Tipp)
13. E. Brennan (KK)
14. P .Flynn (WTD)
15. J. Deane (Cork)

Notable mentions: DJ Carey, T Dunne, C Lynch,D. O'Suillivan, T Kenny, D Shanahan, J Mullane, M Walsh, J Gardiner.J Canning.

Yeah Damien Fitz was good this decade as was Cusack and Fitzgerald but I think Cummins was a lot better this decade.

no other goalies there

i would have thought the Lohan brothers would deserve a mention there too if not a place on the team for at least one of them.

Seanie Mcmahon more so way ahead of Mcgrath at centre back so to was Declan "skippy" ruth

Well its just a matter of opinion and I tried to pick players who lasted the whole decade, won all stars and where I could players who won All Irelands.

Its a good side alright Clash - but Kilkenny would still bate them!

would have Sean Og and DJ in there definitely.

For my team im going for

Davy Fitz

Michael Kavanagh
Diarmuid Sullivan
Brian Lohan

Sean Og
John Garniner
JJ Delaney

Jerry O Connor
Tom Kenny

Eddie Brennan
Henry Shefflin
Ben O Connor

DJ Carey
Charlie Carter
Eoin Kelly

NSG - i know its your opinion and its a decent team but i wouldnt have Gardiner within an arses roar of the team of the decade. There are several better centre backs than him Jim mentioned a few of them - you could also include Ken Mc Grath and Tony Browne

Dono I genuinely believe that JG was solid and tidy not to mention his ability to hit long frees, with regard to Browne and McGrath i regard them as good players but not great players they didnt seem up to it when it came to the really high tempo games ie all ireland semis.

I LOVED Paul Flynn.

I would have Fitzhenry in goal, just about gets it from McGarry.

As an ex goalie, on Davy Fitz's level say, I know about these things.
