Replying To jobber:  "Still no news on minor county hurling or indeed the senior where the question is will any player from out top 4 clubs participate or does anyone care?"
Senior as far as I know Kevin o Brien stays but a few of last yrs backroom team not going forward. There'll be no scrounging for pitches in the county this winter, two nights a week in abbotstown asked for now whether the CB agrees is a different story.

You wouldn't see the county board paying for abbostown, they're probably tight enough for cash themselves with the fundraising going on for the Centre of Excellence. The footballers went to Mexico after winning the Tailteann Cup and brought the girlfriends that time, which was fair enough, but if this holiday is costing around €70k maybe this time just let the players and management go. Nothing against the girlfriends at all, but it would save a fair few quid and whatever is left could be put towards the Centre of Excellence and hopefully get something moving on that sooner rather than later.
