BRACKNAGH

Manager – Ronan Murphy;

Selectors – John Broderick and Glen Brereton;

Captain – Jason Dempsey;

Retirements/Long term injuries – Ciaran Donnelly is travelling, Darren Kelly has moved away and Conor Melia has an injuyry.

New players – Colm Cunningham, Rickie Geoghegan, Charlie Keogh, Chris Whittle;

Last year – Beaten by Ferbane in the quarter-final;

Star player – Peter Cunningham;

Key players – Jason Dempsey, Conor Melia, Anthony Cunningham;
