Train up the coaches in winter time f needs be but 12mths continuous training will mean some will walk away 9 to 10 mths is plenty . possibly do something with the kids other than hurling football in those months . Any outdoor hurling in winter for young kids can be counter productive . The cold hands and limbs won't encourage them to keep coming and thats from experience . A break from mid november to mid feb is ideal . Wont harm them at all and maybe just encourage them to go to hurling wall or indoor facility if your club has them . Schools shoukd be stepping in at these times ." Is the break November to February? Of coaches need a break. I thought someone said the clubs go from May to October in u8s to u12s and half of that is football. So 1 hurling and 1 football for the 5 months and nothing then for the rest of the year. That can't be right can it? WEXILE (Wexford) - Posts: 303 - 04/07/2024 07:45:45 2556855 Link

April til mid October for inter club games 8s and 10z might be but shorter. but training and practice matches depending on club would be longer especially if facilities are available . Prob only chance do anything after evenjngs are shorter would be sundays as soccer takes mist saturdays and numbers would be small at training saturdays . . my point was 2 mths in mid winter off would nt do much damage. And give everyone a break . This year znd end last year was disaster due to weather . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 221 - 04/07/2024 10:28:40 2556873 Link

That's what we do. Then once a week over the winter for u12s, twice a week for those who are on the A.S.H. programme. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12913 - 04/07/2024 11:12:01 2556879 Link
Leinster hurling 2025 Could be very tough next year if this materialises Galway - Micheal o donohoe Dublin - Davy Fitzgerald Kilkenny - Henry Shefflin And then you of course have offaly Jimbob96 (Wexford) - Posts: 13 - 05/07/2024 09:20:04 2557012 Link

But it can be just facilitating a game over the winter to keep players hurling. It could be the time for the "babysitting service" coaches to just facilitate the games. Could even bio band or something to mix it up. Because at the moment soccer (which my boys play) and rugby are eating the GAA's lunch for 6+ months of the year.

Replying To Jimbob96: "Leinster hurling 2025 Could be very tough next year if this materialises Galway - Micheal o donohoe Dublin - Davy Fitzgerald Kilkenny - Henry Shefflin And then you of course have offaly" Agree Jimbob96. It will be tough as always to get out of Leinster next year. That Offaly team will have matured a good bit following on from their successful u20 sides from the last two years. I wouldn't say they will get to a Leinster final just yet but they could cause us problems if we take them lightly. Rumour has it that Donoghoe will wave goodbye to Dublin and get the Galway gig but maybe there's no truth in it. He did say that he would stay put for another year but you never know. Davy will have his eye on managing the tribesmen or failing that he could go to Dublin. There might even be an opening in Clare if Lohan stepped away if they are beaten once again in the semi final against the cats. I think Dereck Lyng is safe for at least another year regardless as to how they end their season. It went down badly when King Henry threw in his lot with Galway. It left a sour taste in Kilkenny and it would be a big surprise if they forgave him. My prediction would be Donoghoe to go to his home place Galway and Davy getting the Dublin job. Interesting few weeks or months ahead. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 05/07/2024 12:11:42 2557045 Link
Replying To Jimbob96: "Leinster hurling 2025 Could be very tough next year if this materialises Galway - Micheal o donohoe Dublin - Davy Fitzgerald Kilkenny - Henry Shefflin And then you of course have offaly" I think it'll take a couple of years for galea to really get going again. They're in need of a shake up. Davy to Dublin would be a big worry for us. I'd question whether they have the talent but you can be sure Davy will get the absolute best out of what's there. You're writing lyng off fairly quickly. They could win the all Ireland. Offaly will be an interesting prospect. As great as their 20 team is they're not all going to be great seniors. It's a very different proposition as we know ourselves. We've had excellent teams at 21 who've massively under achieved at senior in my time.

Is that a possibility, I am a long way removed from it now but is Derek Lyng not safe regardless in Kilkenny? The tougher Leinster is for Wexford and each other the better. The only disgraceful anomaly is relegation in Leinster but none in Munster. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1756 - 05/07/2024 15:14:25 2557077 Link
Being honest how many different county teams can one manager manage in short enough time frame its only 11 years since clare won the all ireland spent 2014 in clare 3/4 years in waterford 4 in weford back to waterford for another 2 and still get the same response from players and the county iteslf I can't see too many counties looking for Davy . Can't see Galway taking him on thats for sure . Dublin possibly but will their Co board want a manager that hogs headlines and attention. They seem to lean towards a more quiet get on with it kinda character who has the knowhow and does nt get involved in media circus . But hey that's only my opinion. Don't see any other county coming looking offaly laois . Offaly building not needing a manager at present . Would davy go to laois . Tipp Cork kilkenny Limerick not a Hope in hell ever. Clare ?? After lohan might happen some stage but not in immediate future . . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 221 - 06/07/2024 12:19:07 2557177 Link
