Remember one time when they had just a Senior team now JHC D Semi Final and JHC E Final and going strong at underage too!
Must be alot of new houses and population increase over the last few years bit like Ballindeeren future looks good!
People no longer settling in Oranmore, Clarinbridge, Turloughmore and Craughwell!"

Replying To WesternSeaBoard:  "The finalists are no surprise at Senior and Intermediate, Mellows beating Ahascragh-Fohenagh not as much a surprise as it seems, Mellows have plenty of seasoned campaigners and were able to negate Cathal Mannions influence. Same at Senior, both are seasoned , streetwise.
Craughwell were lightweight and naive and Turlough have no forwards and puck out strategy kamikaze. Craughwell have players coming through, but injuries robbed them of players like Adam Stewart , Mark Monaghan, Stephen Hynes and Oisin Quirke for most of season who would have brought more physicality & skill. Tom's toyed with them. Victor Manzo was electric , surely MD will have a look, Eanna Burke, David Burke, Shane Cooney Conor Cooney ran the show.But Craughwell will have build on it. Ciaran Leen shone brightly and only forward that scored, MD will need to have a look.
Turlough need to get traction from underage success soon, Matthew Tarpey a loss, didn't use full bench either, before older experienced lads move on. Loughrea have mix of youth and experience plus some serious hurlers coming through. Hanharan in backs, Shane Morgan Cullin Killeen, Tiernan Killeen, Darren Shaugnessy, Anthony Burns need county exposure .
Kinvara were expected to make intermediate final, Ballygar will have a lot of What, if's. Kinvara have a young fast team , will be favourites. Meelick-Eyrecourt hanging around a while, can they do it, be interesting. I call Tom's and Kinvara."

Replying To BigBàsMan:  "I'm actually from Limerick, living in loughrea. It's banter. Relax, you're from Turlough/ bridge ...?"

Replying To TanCanRan:  "Well you're going round in every thread essentially saying up Loughrea. Save that for the stadium."

Replying To Armchairreporter:  "David Burke was a great galway servant. Unfortunately age is catching up on him for intercounty. Thomas's are a great club team. As regards county level, I'd bring in Manzo for a look (probably too small) and leave the rest. Intercounty is a different animal."

Replying To Stool Pigeon:  "Manso's age would likely count against him too as the amount of conditioning work it would take to get him to cope at IC level wouldn't be achieved in a year I don't think.

He's a lovely player in full flight though and takes serious minding"
