Colm O’Connor and Brendan O’Brien

Marsden, who celebrates his 32nd birthday next week, quit the top flight game two years ago, claiming he could no longer give the required commitment to the Orchard County.

Marsden made his senior inter-county debut in 1993, playing a crucial role in the county’s resurgence through the 90s and their historic All-Ireland title victory in 2002. Marsden is currently employed as Ulster GAA Regional Development Officer.
