Replying To Fionn: "Managers and coaches take up positions with other counties all the time.
Some are more travelled than others.
I have no great issue with it tbh.
Par for the course.
I would be more concerned with clubs in Dublin inviting/taking in or having inter county imports on their starting team." Yes I know but for me Gilroy is a little different given he was arguably the brains behind the whole resurgence in Dublin. And while someone mentions Jayo & Ger going to other counties to earn their stripes this is a completely different situation given the sheer wealth of experience Gilroy has. He is on a completely different level to arguably anyone else that we have had involved in Dublin football aside from Jim Gavin I would argue.
Anyway he has refuted the rumours last night so hopefully nothing in it ;)

Replying To Viking66: "Anyone down here that Ive been talking to expects it to be close. Shels won their 3rd title in the last decade and a bit, but have been unlucky after that, which is probably why they arent as well known outside the county as some of our other clubs. They lost to KK from Offaly AET the 1st time in 2014, who then went on to lose the Leinster final narrowly to Ballyhale that year, then there was no Leinster club Championship the 2nd time on account of covid." They have to be a quality side to make it out of Wexford and they performed well in the county final, probably should have won by more in the end. I expect it to be a tight game, hopefully a quality game. The Gaels didn't perform to their usual level in the county final and were lucky to scrape by Raharney in the end but they beat Castletown Geoghegan, Clonkill and then Raharney twice to secure the county title so they fully deserve to be where they are.

Replying To farneygael3: "Must have read your comment. Never seen a PRO include their name in a statement is this normal, should it not be chairpersons if anyones?" The tip of the iceberg with that one.

What is going on in Westmeath hurling? Surely heads need to roll after this calamity of events.
As someone who cares deeply about hurling in this county, I am hugely disappointed with the goings-on at county board level. Players, clubs, volunteers and supporters deserve clear answers, proper leadership and accountability.
There needs to be a full, independent, root-and-branch review of all things Westmeath hurling from governance and decision-making to coaching, player development and the support given to our county teams. That review must include meaningful input from the people doing the work on the ground.
Where standards have fallen short, those responsible must be held accountable. Any review must lead to published findings, clear actions and deadlines not another report left sitting on a shelf.
There are too many people giving their time and energy to Westmeath hurling for this to be accepted. They deserve better. The players deserve better. Westmeath hurling deserves better.

And so the great man has called time on his county career. A magnificent servant to Donegal and the GAA in general. It is obviously very disappointing news from a Donegal perspective. But all we can do is be thankful for the many wonderful memories and wish Michael well in his future endeavours.
