Houlihan seeking his third All-Ireland

LOSING his place on the senior team two years ago still rankles Timmy Houlihan. As an 18-year old he was first choice keeper, but inexplicably was dropped and has not been reconsidered since.

In time things may change as David Keane and his fellow selectors move up to take charge of the senior team and they are likely to bring quite a number of their under-21 charges with them.

All that's for another day however, as Houlihan focuses on Sunday's All-Ireland under-21 final against Galway and a chance to win his third medal in a row.
