Noel McGrath is a fine footballer for Loughmore.
Paul Curran was on Mullinahone,s county intermediate winning football team as was Eoin Kelly.
Brendan Cummins was a regular at wing forward for tipp many years ago too and rated.

Can`t think of too many more on the Tipp panel.

I am surprised that you overlooked John Coghlan and Buggy O`Meara who were on the Tipp team that won the Munster Under 21 title in 2010. Coghlan is good enough to be on the Tipp football panel. Shane Maher has also played football for Tipp. All would be far better footballers than Eoin Kelly.

What would be the best hurling team made up of current footballers and football team team made up of current hurlers look like.

For example
Shane Dooley Offaly hurler is quite a good footballer and is Tullamores best player
Dan Currams current Offaly footballer played hurling for Offaly up until this year     (and probably will again    )    

Same situation would apply for the likes of Conal Keaney and Diarmuid Connnolly.

Would it be possible to mke up a team of decent intercounty standard for each code using players currently playing teh other code

We`ll exclude current dual players like Eoin Cadogan for the puposes of this topic

Never knew Shane Maher played football for Tipp. Do Burgess go well at the football too?

All the McGrath`s of Loughmore are handy dual players.

Brick Walsh & Shane Walsh are serious footballers.

Paul Galvin is supposed to be one of the best hurlers in Kerry when he actually plays. Eamonn Fitzmaurice was a handy hurler too.

Aidan Walsh & Ciarán Sheehan in Cork. Cahalane as well.

On another note, Niall Quinn played minor hurling   (and football?  )   for Dublin and then junior club football in Kildare after he retired!

Shane Long was a serious hurling prospect in Tipp before signing for Reading while Tomás O`Leary captained Cork to a minor hurling All-Ireland. Paul Flynn   (Waterford  )   had goalkeeper trials at Aston Villa

Forgot Keith Higgins is an awesome hurler. Played for Connacht numerous times.

Was Declan Browne a good hurler?

Galway`s Barry Daly is a tidy footballer and rugby player
