Yes that's not a problem until its the GAA ! just like the skirts for the comogie players , while there wasn't a whisper about women hockey! is it that the all of poor old me sad people gravitate towards the GAA.The only possible gripe remaining is maybe the colour of the grass.Times, dates. location and even what teams should be allowed are all questioned at differing times during these ongoing performances.

Oranmore Maree with another U19A county title. Beating Claregalway by 9 points. Some production line they have going at underage there. Hasn't fed through to the senior side yet though. The biggest challenge in a way is developing those young players into good senior footballers.

I think the problem is 2 many different sports in the area, look at the year there intermediate footballers had absolutely shocking and they had been tipped as one of the fav to win it! With the volume of people living in this area they should be competing a lot better in the intermediate grade,

Claregalway themselves are possibly the poster boys for this issue. They were winning North Board Minor A's for fun there a few years back. They're an established senior club now off the back of it, in fairness, but aren't threatening to replicate that extensive minor/u21 success at senior level.

Ya totally agree a decade ago it was Claregalway & Salthill will be winning and competing in cunty finals between them. salthill might end the drought saturday week. Oranmore were among favorites in intermediate and ended up bottom and in a relegation fight. No doubt there is a pool of talent there and they will surely make the step up to senior soon but in my opinion will have plenty of work to do to compete for Frank Fox. In hurling they are a well established Senior A team now and will hope to continue to improve.
