Three players with points to prove in the league
An All Star three years ago, the last two years have been a letdown for the 29-year-old. Toggling between the defensive lines, it will be John Kiely’s job to find a position where the Murroe-Boher man is most effective but a starting spot won’t be a given. When Hickey in on his game he is an inspiration but his form has been questionable. Kiely seems to favour a half-back line station, but there is strong competition for places there with Declan Hannon having moved into the area. Diarmuid Byrnes, Gavin O’Mahony (currently injured), and Darragh O’Donovan will all be in the shake-up.
