Are there separated handball clubs?

Are Rounders clubs part of the GAA?

[cup1000]

There might be a few separated but most handball clubs that I know of are part of a gaa club (with their own separate handball committee etc but reporting to the main gaa club committee etc)

I presume it's similar for rounders but not sure?

[cup1000]

Are rounders and handball clubs included in this?

No, according to the article on the opening post of the thread.

The article mentions it's to be invested in Gaelic games / GAA, LGFA and Camogie clubs. Handball and rounders are two Gaelic games alongside football and hurling and both are part of the gaa so they should be included alongside their more popular counterparts IMO.

I wonder have any clubs received their share yet?

It's very generous of McManus but I don't like the influence of (rich people's or unfairly allocated GAA) money in the GAA because it unevens competition levels. Money (from the GAA ) was the reason Dublin won 6 in  row and (from McManus) why Limerick are going for 5.
It sucks. I think honest effort is much more honourable and culturally who we are than a team backed with unlimited resources.

Like Derry in 1993

Its a million to each county. I'm not sure how much fairer he can do it.

It's not the reason why Limerick are winning. It helps.

But they put the effort in, at a sustained level, underage. Through their academy.

A fantastic group came through at the same time, over a few years.

They were handpicked. they got the best coaching. No expense was spared. Don't tell me that money had nothing to do with it. Why didn't Limerick win anything btween 1974 and 2017 ?

What was the reason other counties were winning in those periods? Was it money and being handpicked?

It certainly wasn't Mr McManus and nobody ever did 5 in a row (would now be going for 7 if KK hadn't beaten them in 2019).

As I said money helped but it was a once in a lifetime generation of pkayers that came through.

Talented and a great work ethic.

KK did 4 in a row.  Who pumped the money and coaching in there?

Glen have won 2 Ulsters, 3 Derrys and 4 Ulster minor championships in a row. Are you telling me it was all about money?

[JimStynes]

Money certainly helps!

[Rossfan]

As does being a city, lots of 3rd level Institutions, lots of jobs, players living at home.....

It must change from county to county because in one county I'm aware of all 5 handball clubs are their own seperate clubs away from the GAA club.

[marty34]

Money certainly helps!

But all counties are spending serious amount of money these recent years.  Big big money.

It helps, but all counties are on a par. 

It's about talent and bringing them through.  Clubs deserve great credit in this respect.
