Have to agree GPlifer the games yesterday were great viewing. That intermediate semi final between longford and brooklyn was one of the best and most exciting games I have seen in the park in a long time both teams threw everything but the kitchen sink at it and were completely out on their feet at the final whistle. It was like a heavy weight scrap and for the neutral no team deserved to lose. I hear the replay is next sunday and the final being pushed back another week until October 15th. It really is too hard to call who will prevail between them two but i do think whoever wins that will win the final because these two competitive games i think will bring longford and brooklyn on no end. These two teams have served up some classics over the past few years and no doubt next sunday will be close again. I agree Offaly for Junior B and Cork for Junior A.

Looking forward to tomorrow's games. Should be another great day in the park.
Rangers will have there hands full with a very experienced Ofally.
I still pick Rockland over Cork
Brooklyn will prevail over Longford.
Is it me but I think games this year were a struggle but more enjoyable since the new rules came in last year basically banning county players and reducing transfers.
Anyway looking forward to tomorrow

Going back to last weeks points - more great close exciting games this weekend. Think that the GAA needs to take a close look at what is happening and bring back home based teams. If this means teams have to fold then so be it but there has been much more excitement, much more passion and much more interest from the crowds since the mercenaries left town. Three more good games Sunday and well done to Rangers and Longford but what a shambles at the end of junior final. Video doing the rounds everywhere showing clearly buzzer had gone before ball punched to net. From what I was told by a Cork player referee told both team managers goal was disallowed and somehow five minutes later after more consultation goal was allowed. Really not good enough at this stage of a season.

What's going in the Galway intermediate championship - looks like a player played illegally over here in a championship game ? Thought that was stopped?

Taken from the article on USA-Canada main page:

USGAA Convention
2 motions passed. The first mandates that men's junior teams field a minimum of 2 players who have come through the youth systems. This motion also contains a provision that in 2020 the same mandate will apply to men's senior football clubs.

Should New York move in the same direction of requiring clubs to field homegrown players?

NY GAA nominations were last night with o host of positions being challenged for. This can only be a healthy situation for 2018 season.

Many changes are needed to ensure the the GAA stays alive.

Any talk surrounding the NY county team back in training for 2018? Any new faces? I see that Danny Suttcliffe has left the panel and with Brian Gallagher already moved home that is a massive two losses around the middle of the park. I imagine there will be very few of the 2016 panel left in NY at this stage although management over this past two years seemed to have been able to work very well with what they got so hopefully with the same management team in place they can assemble a squad to compete with Leitrim who have been struggling of late.

I hear a lot of positions are being contested on sunday,
it will be good to see some new blood on the board as the football and hurling has gone backwards the last few years. the paid for new york team have been papering over the cracks.

I have never seen so many positions been voted on in years. Very surprised a few new people did not get in. That's democracy clubs voted everything going down hill gaa wise in this town. So when clubs complain you will have to look at yourselfs.
Will be a interesting year 2018 let's see if the current county board take anything in as a lot of clubs are not happy right now.

Great to see NY being part of the Sergion college competition. But why does the video show the North American team and not a NY team? NY is it's own board and the NY minor board was affiliated with Croke Park before the NY senior board ever was
