Not entirely sure about that HS otherwise why would he ask where they are from. I think he was referring to the managers of the county champions and were they won by home managers . St galls current manager by the way isn't one of them

Team for Sunday ?

Are Offaly safe if they beat us?

If this doesn't make you get tested, what will. Thus is the same syndrome I was diagnosed with.

Hurling stick, the simple answer is I don't know . A lot of them are there from childhood but not sure if they can or cannot develop at a later stage.
I'm still not sure how they can tell when they develop ?
I had my surgery and given the all clear but advised to have screening done every few years. I'm sure I will be more probe due to history but better to be safe than sorry would be my advice .

Aye Badger has moved up the ranks to work with more committed hurlers, eager to develop his hurling credentials  He was a good lad and deserved better. I am sure there would be many clubs happy to gave him on board. 

Which McGourty  is at QUB?  Must be a bounty in it???   

Deserved better than what?

Yeah mc gourty taking queens.
Ollie's packed it in after last league game

St Galls currently looking a senior hurling manager if anyone is interested or knows of anyone who might be.

Get off train at finaghy and taxi will cost you £3 or a 15 min walk to pitch. That's your best bet and easy too.

For me Rafferty was the best manager we have had in recent years and would be welcomed back with open arms any time.
Some good managers over the past decade who added certain elements to the team which when all added together resulted in the ultimate . I include Paul Duffin , mc cartan, and Lenny in that but for me it was Rafferty who installed the belief, intensity and mental toughness to gel it all together .
Have to agree, especially in recent years a group of players have had an influence on proceedings. Good thing or not? Is this because they were/are allowed to ?. I know this certainly wasn't the case with Raff and I think mc cartan got a bit of a raw deal.

In recent years we have got past round one of ulster once and I believe this could have been avoided very easily .
All in all, despite achieving the ultimate I believe this group of players will look back and wonder what if in years to come. No complaints for what they have achieved and the effort they put in from all at the club.

Do all grounds not belong to the GAA ie. croke park?

So where did cargin go wrong? Talking to a lot of players after the game and they said they weren't pushed, tested . Cargin all year played a sweeper system yet didnt against us , why? They even allowed us to play one . On top of that they left crozier on pollock for the whole game , pollock won every ball. Now I know Justin is only back from injury but jasus change him or even employ a sweeper to cut it out.
Cargin seemed intent on holding the ball on their own 45, waiting for the runner of the shoulder but they waited so long he was running into a crowd of galls players. I Boyle and magill should have  been hit with quick ball. Again may not have worked but at least try it. Tomas was anonymous after the first 15. Laverty impressed me most from cargin.
We could have won by a lot more considering the 3 goal chances we had . Watching the cargin boys stroll out at half time said a lot to me and the more the second half went on they looked line they had accepted defeat

I agree with deary me and DR and Ballycastle has to be the best shout

What a day for ahoghil . Forecast to be pudding down between 1 and 4. Great day for standing on a grass bank.
Am I right in saying that no antrim grounds have terracing that could facilitate a county final?

Tiresome ... That's all
