Condolences to Athlone GAA and the Fogarty family on the shock passing of Padraig 'Amby'Fogarty.
A warrior on the pitch, he was a part of the last 3 Athlone winning Flanagan Cup teams, he also was a fantastic club man after his football career ended.
Anyone who attended a game in Pairc Ciaran would see Amby, stewarding or behind the Bar, he would be there for most underage training helping out.
A true Gael, and a gentleman. May he RIP

Replying To combo: "Id agree with this. The GAA should be there to help any members though" They are. Every county has an Infrastructure & Facilities Officer, and part of that role is to help or advise clubs in applying for grants. I know ours in Wexford was very helpful when my own club contacted him.

Replying To Monaghanmad123: "12 in senior
10 in intermediate
9 in junior (including Truagh C's)
The county board don't want to get rid of the group stage championship because it allows them to get more cash (affiliation fees) off clubs. Most players I have spoken to in my own club would prefer a change back to the old style format (or something similar) not having to play 4/5 championship games before knockout" a double league or what but championship should not be a league also. a championship should be backdoor and KO. you lose twice your championship is over. lack of competitiveness is hurting our county team. LOOK AT THOSE SCENES IN TYRONE LAST WEEK. Dont think we are ready for the tyrone model of straight KO just yet

LOOK AT THOSE SCENES IN TYRONE LAST WEEK. Dont think we are ready for the tyrone model of straight KO just yet" Those scenes in Tyrone were because it was a final and a player kicked a two pointer at the end to win by a point, winning the club's first senior title in their almost 100 year history. Sure every championship is straight knockout from the quarter final on, so all finals are in the same boat. We had an epic finish to our own senior final last Sunday. Nobody was thinking about the group stage at that point.

Great to see the spread of counties represented. Thought Whittaker was better than Wallace of Westmeaths 2 wingbacks this year. He was one of the best Footballers I saw play all year. Jarly Burns an interesting selection, great player ok but better last year. Good to see Niall Scully get one, really underrated Footballer. O'Hanlon capping a great season with an All Star is good to see too!
