The Ulster Dream Attack

The inter-provincial competitions have long lost their popularity but if all players made themselves available and the tournament received the right kind of marketing - surely it's dying flame could be rekindled.

To put it into perspective. Imagine going to a game to watch these six forwards represent Ulster - and don't forget the calibre of players the other 3 provinces would bring.

Here is my take from 10-15.

10. Brian Dooher: The Tyrone captain's legs are starting to go but nobody can deny his determination and personally I enjoy watching few players more than Dooher.

11. Sean Cavanagh: Predominantly a midfielder with Tyrone nobody can deny he is the modern-day complete footballer. Cavanagh can play anywhere from midfield to full-forward and I would love to see his athleticism and power being used on the '40' where he can do real damage.

12. Cian Mackey: The Cavan wing-forward has blistering pace and is one of the most under-rated players in the province. If he avoids dropping too deep away from the scoring zone Mackey has the ability to tear any defence apart.

13. Stephen McDonnell: One of the liveliest and clinical forwards in Ulster, the Armagh still has incredible ability to score under pressure from tight angles.

14. Micheal Murphy: After almost single handedly carrying Donegal to an All-Ireland u21 final, Murphy had rapidly become one of the country's top talents despite his young age. At this rate of progression, Murphy could arguably become the most effective GAA player ever.

15. Paddy Bradley: Needs to produce the goods when it come the knockout stages of the championship but there is no doubt that few defender relish the challenge Bradley brings with his incredible strength and scoring prowess.


Now I would pay to see them in action.
