Similar to last year, chief score-getters Barry Cunningham and Barry Corrigan remain on the dozen, as do the two O¢¬¢Dowds and veterans Neil McCann, Robbie Smith and Paul Kelly.
However, this season sees four new faces put onto the exclusive list, with young defenders Glenn Fitzpatrick and JP Kelly and forwards Gareth Corrigan and Shane Kelly all making the cut.
Their inclusions mean that they will be ruled out of any Division Four action for the club in 2009, as will goalkeeper Danny Kelly, who has also been added on after missing out on much of last season with his studies in Cambridge
Drumlane First 12 – Barry Cunningham, Barry Corrigan, Danny Kelly, Paul Kelly, Dane O¢¬¢Dowd, John O¢¬¢Dowd, JP Kelly, Glenn Fitzpatrick, Robbie Smith, Neil McCann, Gareth Corrigan and Shane Kelly.
