So i said I would have a look to see how many Tara Rocks players transferred to Kilanerin and vice versa when this first began back in 2017, just out of interest. So back then 32 players from Tara Rocks transferred to Kilanerin and 28 players transferred from Kilanerin to Tara Rocks, with both clubs said at the time they were struggling for numbers. In the last transfer. In the latest transfer list for 2025, just 13 players transferred from Tara Rocks, 52 players from Kilanerin. You'd really have to ask someone from the Rocks how they thought this was a good idea at the start? Just 13 players left. I am not from either club, not even from Gorey district but Tara Rocks really dont have a team anymore. And why arent Kilanerin just playing by themselves at this stage?"
It shouldnt have happened in 2017, 32 players transferred from Tar Rocks and they stated they couldnt field 1 team crazy that was to of passed,
Tara Rocks stated back in 2017 I think that they had numbers comin in underage and felt in a few years they would be back fielding by themselves at adult in near future, will never happen by the looks of it, Kilanerin have huge numbers on there own bigger than most clubs in the county

I did think at the time it was madness. I could be wrong but werent Tara Rocks fielding two teams , junior and junior b back in 2017? I cant believe anyone from Kilanerin would be looking at the that and werent thinking they should be fielding on their own. Its been a disaster for Tara Rocks.

Because Tara Rocks would cease to exist. At the end of the day there has been massive population growth in Gorey parish, and in years to come it will hopefully sustain 2 clubs. Which would include the Rocks then as anyone in the parish can play for them instead of Gorey if they choose to. They have put great work into their grounds, and the u6 to u8s. Hopefully it will feed up along as they have very poor numbers from u16 upwards. Problem they have currently is most lads are choosing to play for Gorey.

Reading recent committee minutes, I see Wexford GAA are joining with Clubber so Wexford GAA Tv will cease to exist. I liked Wexford GAA TV, interviews, previews etc so disappointing, thought it did a great job promoting the games.

One thing I would always liked is a podcast discussing the club championships, maybe its something they could look into now.
