    1. Blake Forkan - Mayo - played in an All-Ireland junior final for Mayo
    2. Ruairi Cunningham - Armagh
    3. Graham Heavey - Dublin - played at full-back for the Dublin minor team
    4. DJ Murphy - Kerry - won a junior All-Ireland medal with Kerry
    5. Sam McCurdy - Dublin
    6. Sean Brady - Derry - lined out for Derry in numerous national league matches
    7. Adam Wilson - Dublin
    8. Colm Flynn - Longford - played junior for Longford and was on their senior squad for several years but never made a championship appearance
    9. Eamon Donoghue - Roscommon - played Junior with Roscommon
    10. Nigel Rabbitt - Longford - played Junior with Longford
    11. Fintan Cuanaigh - Galway - played under-21 and junior for Galway
    12. Niall Canning - Sligo -
    13. Gary O'Daly - Leitrim - played minor football for Roscommon
    14. Stephen Harford - Dublin
    15. Cormac Doohan - Mayo - played junior final for Mayo

    7 out of the starting 15 played junior intercounty, which when you remember Dublin (4), Derry (1), Armagh (1) don't play in the Junior championship says a bit about the junior championship.

    You obviously didn't watch it last night! They're in the county final Sunday so he opted out.

    Ah jaysis, Dublin team is crap, murchan and cooper the only starters from the allireland final. Fitzsimons there aswell. Good few lads I’ve never heard of. Kind of pointless.

    Fair play to Dublin keeping the game interesting by not scoring

    Not just fitness levels, physicality, skill, pretty much everything. I think it would have been much better putting them up against the AI club champions. It just shows how the gap between club and county has grown over the last 15 years. The dogs will be lucky to get 6 points.

    Their kickpassing is top class.

    It wouldn’t. This underdogs team is just not up to any level above an average club. They’ve been losing all around them.

    Compared to original Underdogs team,this Underdogs team wouldn't lace their boots.Heard first hand from a lad who was playing for UCD against them in their last challenge match before tonight that UCD team were expecting them to be better.

    Must be remembered that the Underdogs didn't beat anybody during the series. I think they lost all their matches whether it was against club sides, the army or UCD. And I'm sure those teams were not at full strength either.

    O'Cuanaigh looks like a decent player for them but they don't have much possession to work with and what they do have they are kicking long into a full-forward line that isn't winning anything.

    Dublin, the only way the underdogs could frighten them is if dressed up as the village people

    They should have done a feasibility study on the concept if it was to be serious, I’m not sure given the level of professionalism intercounty squads are at that it ever was viable to put a team together and hope to be anywhere near an intercounty team. Sure this Dublin team is a crowd of youngsters and Johnny cooper has been their worst player.

    Even cork would beat these well.
