NY senior board
Agree 100%. Why would you spend the time and effort to win a championship and finally get to Senior and then look to not get promoted. Complete nonsense they were let away with this. Why did they spend so much time and effort in winning Intermediate. Should have worked on getting a proper team together.

Rules are being broken left and right. Roscomman who won intermediate championship being allowed to stay in same division they won last year. They are crying poverty. Maybe they should think about getting a home based team... it might help. They should have been made go senior like everyone else has.

New York Player Rules
jojo75- The deadline for Inter County transfers is July 20th. That is you must have been in the US for 28 days prior to that date in order to be eligible.

All of the players on the New York colleges team are American born.

New York Player Rules
Hey GPlifer,

You mentioned that for an inter county transfer you have to be living in the States for 28 days minimum but is there a deadline date to get an inetrcounty transfer?

New York Player Rules
In New York it is 15 a side with all clubs being allowed a maximum of 6 summer players ( 60 day sanctions ). I think New York is a better championship. In Boston, as in all North American Board cities their finals have to be played in August so as the North American finals can be played on Labor Day weekend. At that stage the New York championship is only getting going with the final not played until early October. Because of this there is a much greater emphasis on having a home based team as many of the Summer players have returned to Ireland. Having said that many players do transfer into New York on Inter County transfers. A player must be living here for 28 days before being eligible for this. However any player who gets a transfer like this cannot go back and play for his home club in the same year. Hope this answers your questions.

New York Player Rules
This may be a silly question but having played in both Boston and Chigaco I know that football is played 13 a side with at least 8 "home based" players lining out with the remainder being players out for the summer and who are not their on a permanent basis. What is the story in New York? does each club need so many home players? what date do they need to be in New york for? And is the general club standard as good in New York as it is in Boston?

GAA Team Bonding/Training weekends
An update on how some recent weekends went. Ahoghill Camogie Team had a great weekend in Downings in Donegal. Their pics can be
viewed at: http://www.breakforball.com/gallery/images/?id=11

The 3rd last photo in the set is a real clinker that really does the beauty of the place justice.

Here's what the manager of the team had to say about their weekend:

"A fabulous weekend in a stunning location. Who needs Spain when you have Donegal! Everything was so handy with the pitch and beach so close to the hotel. The sessions on and off the pitch with Emmett McKeever were top class and has really focused the squad for the months ahead. Following that the lads from Turf'n'Surf were great craic and the activites on and off the beach had everyone in great form. The day was finished off with a lovely group meal and some karaoke singing that went on into the wee hours. I think it has had the desired effect and there is a great buzz around the squad. Thanks again to Breakforball for organising an excellent package and Sinead who helped the day run smoothly onsite."

Mark Friel - Senior Team Manager, St. Mary's Camogie Club, Ahoghill

New York College Team....
I dont think that too many players went out the night before from what i heard except for a few barnabas players. There was a big write up about the team in this weeks voice, Carty seemed to have played exceptionally well, good showing by the team in general, unlucky not to win it.

New York county manager
Did the young coach of the victorious NY Down side of 2009 get asked for this position? I hear he is very innovative and gets to knows his players, which is a key to success. He may be a good choice to assist on the management team maybe as a selector if not the manager.
