I am convinced they dont want the hard discussions never mind about not supportijg minors which is a disgrace but about growing game more or improving it further

Replying To CasKD:  "Dual players and managers and happy playing every weekend. Obviously it would be nice to know what days, more than a couple of weeks in advance. This agenda has come from others who feel there should be free weekends"
I think every dual player is happy with the amount of games, but I doubt many are happy playing every weekend. Any injury can be detrimental. I'd imagine most would favour a weekend off around round 3 to reset

Does anyone know what is happening with minor hurling management for next year. The minor board need to get the good people who did so much this year back for the good of WH hurling.

The podcast really showed the CB up. An excellent management team let go because of serious lack of communication.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Explain how hurling could be grown in areas in the south of the county? Specifics needed please."
It cant really. There were former hurling clubs in Kilbeggan,Streamstown Horseleap,Rosemount,Moate and Drumraney at different stages. Some of them managed to get as far as a senior final but all of above areas now feed into two hurling clubs namely CTG for the first five areas and Fr Daltons for Drumraney. At present, a large percentage of CTG's underage comes from Streamstown,Rosemount, Kilbeggan axis and if a Hurling club were to develop there, then it strips the underage set up of CTG apart. BTW, this is not anti CTG but just the reality of same.

According to the local press this week they all stepped down. How can they be reinstated if they decided to resign en masse??

CTG are fielding two teams at the likes of u12 with a lot of players coming from Kilbeggan Streamstown and Rosemount as well so I agree with what your saying however it also indicates strong interest in hurling across those areas as well which could be explored.
