KILLYCLOONEY
- Captain: Tbc
- Vice-captain: Richard McMorris
- Overseas player: Keenan Vieira
- Players out: Kenzie Hall, Matthew Campbell, Andy Neil, William Finlay.
- Players in: Cody Maheffey.
- Young Players to watch: Alfie Moan and Cody Mehaffey.
It's been a tough close season for Killyclooney, who have lost the services of no fewer than four first-team regulars, while they have only managed to recruit one as Cody Mehaffey makes a return to the Tyrone side.
Kenzie Hall has probably been their player of the year for the last two seasons and the captain's move to Bready leaves a big hole. Opening bat William Finlay and bowler Matthew Campbell have also done well, as has all-rounder Andy Neil.
The club have yet to officially confirm their new captain, but it's expected to be their new overseas professional, South African Keenan Viera, helped by Richard McMorris. Viera is a 28 year-old all-rounder and Killyclooney will be hoping he makes a similar impact as his fellow countryman Blayde Capell did a few years back.
"We may have lost some players but we have a few younger lads and also some experienced players knocking on the door for selection again," said a club spokesperson.
"We are all looking forward to getting out back on the pitch and the attendance to winter practice has been great.
There's no doubt that the coming season will be a tough one for Killyclooney in what is shaping up to be an ultra-competitive Championship, but they have always had a great team spirit and youth ethos that will stand them in good stead for the challenges ahead.
