Full-back Paul Killeen was on the bench for the Galway senior side last Sunday in Croke Park.

Eight members of the U21 team played for the Galway intermediate side during their All-Ireland final win over Cork recently.

Shane Cooney, Eanna Burke, Kevin McHugo, Dan Nevin, Eamon Brannigan and Brian Molloy started in that game in the Gaelic Grounds while Barry Keane and Ronan O’Meara came on as substitutes.

Cooney, Burke and O’Meara have all won All-Ireland senior club hurling medals in recent years with St Thomas and Portumna respectively.
