Replying To Afinestick96:  "Hurling 365 is a vital initiative and we need buy in across the board from clubs, schools, coaches , teachers etc.
Just on the club championship was hoping to go to all the senior and intermediate semi finals. The Senior is fixed as a double header Sunday week . I would have thought the intermediate would be the same but the James' and Cloughbawn fixture is faced for New Ross Saturday week while the other semi is fixed for Wexford Park the same evening."
I happen to know the Camogie Senior & Intermediate Finals are fixed for Wexford Park on the Saturday afternoon of that weekend. And that if weather looks like it wouldn't allow three matches on the one day, their Intermediate Final is to move, so that the Intermediate Hurling semi-final can go ahead in the evening.

Would presume that if it wasn't for the Camogie, the Intermediate Hurling semi-finals would have been the usual double-header on the Saturday.

Would also presume that in light of all that's going on, if Camogie came looking for Wexford Park for their finals but were told "no, we're going to use it for men's matches, despite the fact that we could fix those men's matches some other way and let you have it anyway", it would have opened a real can of worms.

Replying To Trump2:  "Monageer roughly have the same numbers at all age groups from say 12s to 20s.
Yet their 17s are much stronger than any other single year age group. Why is this. Can you just half agree its probably down to coaching and commitment more than anything else. And the same goes with most teams that are above average."
Absolutely Ill half agree with that. Nurture is probably more important than nature even. Id go good coaching/parenting/commitment is probably more than 50% the reason a good team is good.
Hopefully most of those lads who played in that game last week will stay playing, practicing and improving and make good club adult players. And even more hopefully for me, as Im not in either of those 2 clubs, the very best of them make good long term intercounty hurlers in the future ;-)

Well, it could be down to coaching and commitment but you still get some years where you get a golden generation, I think that Monageer group are supposed to be a good bit ahead of the the teams that came before them and the teams that are behind them
