How are players under 18 allowed play in an under 20 adult competition. Firstly I am all for them playing adult football. I do think players should be allowed play adult football when they out of u17, it worked for 100 years and the gap from u17 to adult seems to be to big and alot of players stopping, esp in smaller clubs..The GAA should have made a national decision, one way or the other, currently in Athlone there are players in class together, half of them can play adult football with brigids and Clann and other half are not allowed play with athlone and Garrycastle. Ps... which is the stronger county??? Its a crazy situation.

St. Lomans and Garrycastle can both win their respective Leinster Club Championships. Garrycastle had an all round super performance and finished the game brilliantly, James Sheerin made a big difference with the ball needing to stick inside in the closing stages. He's a huge asset to have with conditions getting worse as the weeks go on. St. Lomans can march on to a final easily if they play in any way up to their potential. Caula are not world beaters on the opposite side and St. Lomans have the most experience of any team left in Leinster. This might well be their year and Garrycastle also should have no fear of Leinster especially at intermediate level. Next stop is Lakepoint park tomorrow evening and I'm going with St. Lomans to win by 7+ points in the end.

St Loman's should probably get to the Leinster Final. Cuala and Naas was above anything St Loman's have played this year, not sure how St Loman's would fair in a 'shootout' like that game. The standard was fairly high.

Thought Cuala were excellent Saturday myself. There are very few poor teams when you get to provincials. Talk of Leinster is a bit premature

Very dismissive of Cuala. Any team who wins a Dublin Championship has to be a serious outfit.

You seem to have a big chip on your shoulder in regard to "town clubs". No Club, town or rural, will refuse a player if they or their parents express an interest for them to move to their Club. Anyone saying otherwise isn't being honest about it.

Who have Shandonagh hoovered up from other rural clubs in the last 4-5 years? If they have then name the players, otherwise stop spoofing nonsense.

The calling off of this evening game due to fog and the rescheduling at a later date will have consequences for the winner who will have a shortened interval to the semi-final game. BarrRst (Westmeath) - Posts: 30 - 12/11/2024 18:44:24 2579402 Link 0 |
No kelly,moran or Egerton and put it up to lomans. Some achievemen. Would make you wonder why people put themselves forward for jobs these days. No respect..any truth in rumour he is gone?

Hard to play it last weekend when Castletown had a Leinster junior hurling game on the Saturday, and it'll be a tricky situation for a re-fixture too seeing as their hurling QF is away in Longford this coming Sunday. Big crossover of players for both codes too so player welfare has to be considered (but probably won't).

Why won't player welfare be considered? Has it not been done up to now by Leinster Council? Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1930 - 12/11/2024 23:26:05 2579442 Link 0 |

I wouldn't comment on this any further unless someone has fact instead of some random post by 1 person put on here that nobody has confirmed since. Sure we could all put up a similar post about every team in Westmeath and queue the deluge of posts.

Hoovering like a helicopter,and enquires have been made about players and don't be so naive to think it doesn't happen. None has happened as liiliputt are still winning and competing yet when losses mount up where will mammy and daddy want the kid to go it's starts with the underage. Sure I can vouch for one incident where a person is actively recruiting for their home team while working in the parish beside it. Politely eff off was the response they got. 2maroonjerseys (Galway) - Posts: 99 - 13/11/2024 10:48:41 2579478 Link 0 |
As i said previously, ultimately its up to the Parents and the Child as to where they play. There are no parish rules so what you deem to be "recruiting" has been going on for the last 20-30 years and every Club does it to some degree. Some Clubs either have better facilities or are more successful (or both) than others and that does attract players. Its only natural. Parents want the best for their kids in everything they do. All Clubs can do is present themselves as an option, after that its up to the Parents and Child.
