The Rostrevor Minor team aswell I heard, some training for that age early on

What's the obsession on here with teams training? Why wouldn't young fellas want to be out training in jan??

[thewobbler]

Can't grasp it myself. In 2005 we started back club training on 2 January, which led to a narrowly failed attempt to stay in D1.

This is nothing new.

Will the game be streamed on Friday night? It will take over 2 and half hours to get there so I cant see many making the 7.30pm throw-in.

Being streamed on BeoSport.live

You must have been out early. The session started at 5.45am 

Sorry just thought I'd fabricate a bit further

[upandwin]

New year, same old stuff. Rostrevor and more particularly, Saval, should know better.

Just goes to show that teams will do anything to win at all costs now, it's the way the GAA is going nowadays. Heard through a less prominent South Down CB member that Mayobridge and Burren lads are doing strength and conditioning programs ahead of the 2022 season as well. Where does it end? Next thing we know clubs will be appointing goalkeeping coaches, there will be stat men at games and players will be watching their diets etc. May as well just be soccer now...the magic has gone

Should be a ban on all training until 48hrs before the first league game...I'd suggest a motion but be unlikely to gain enough support from the glory hunters around the county who want to see their clubs succeed...farcical

[Truth hurts]

Every senior club team in the county would have met up by now and would be doing some sort of conditioning work. If you are not then you may get onto your management and tell them to get the finger out. Castlewellan, Murlough and Tollymore will be full this Sunday morning.

Why would we know better? Div3 in 2021,people in the Club think we should be back in Div1 in 2023.
Staying in Div2 would be enough for most of us.
