Replying To SouthGalway: "Best of Luck to Jason Flynn in his retirement from Galway Hurling. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put in Jason!" Well said.
He tore it up for Tommy Larkins this year in fairness.
Always thought there was more in him at intercounty, but never quite broke out of his shell.
The best of luck to him and thanks for his service.

Replying To Flybynight: "Oranmore Maree - Also added the u16 A County Hurling Title last night after a titanic extra time battle against Craughwell.
A moment in time or sign of things to come? No guarantee that this will translate to senior. TBD.
A dual club, they have muscled in on Claregalway & Salthill's dominance in underage football.
Beaten Athenry, Loughrea and Craughwell in the hurling finals..
This should be a good sign for Galway with a new force in the county.
Or is it a sign of rural depopulation and supercharged suburban superclubs? Both outlooks could probably be true.
Either way, well done to Oranmore Maree for their success and contribution to underage GAA in Galway. A truly incredible year.
Copied the list from a poster on football thread.

All huff and puff when it comes to the big prize!!" They'll need a few more years for they're population to pay dividend. 4 or 5 more years. They threw away last years minor hurling final and the 2 point win in this year's flattered they're opponents. They're have great numbers participating but also very well coached and physically very strong for both U16 and minor. Definitely on the rise.

I doubt Oranmore will have too many on that minor panel next year. Outside of Gus Lohan, who is a serious prospect and got 0-09 from play in the county final, there might only be two or three others making the panel. I'd say there will be a big spread of clubs on that panel next year. There was nothing between Oranmore, Athenry, Loughrea and a good few other teams at that level this year. Craughwell would have a lot coming through at u15 and u16 also

One outfield player stood out in the county final and 3 duds... Oranmore will probably have at least 4 depending on injuries...

Lovely description of underage players , I'm assuming you had a distinguished inter county career as a coach or player yourself in order to qualify your opinion , and I would suggest Oranmore will have 1 starter with the possibility of 1 or 2 more off the bench with the G u17s next year , their strength is in numbers not overall quality, either way doesn't make much difference anyway to overall development anyway

It's gas.....the prices of everything from food, to non-alcoholic beverages, to miscellaneous goods and services, to whatever you're having yourself, can absolutely go through the roof, and lads shtill expect to get into Athenry, and see end of season double headers for a tenner.

"Shtill"....euugh one of those.
Have a go at reading that again. No one expects to get into games for a tenner. It's the streaming we're talking about. If they can stream games for 15 euro or whatever all year, to bump the price for county final seems pure opportunistic given there shouldn't be additional costs.
