Gaels amalgamations

[Helix]

Is an amalgamation at all levels involving Timahoe in the offing?

An amalgamation between Park Ratheniska and Timahoe at hurling level confirmed tonight. Best of luck to them!

Makes sense.
Would they have three teams? Or just the two? Timahoe used to have a second team and PR did intermittently.

I'd say they will be doing well to field one competitive intermediate  team

Hurling in Timahoe would be at a low ebb,they might have 6/7 hurlers to throw into the mix

[burdizzo]

Think they're aiming for two - intermediate and junior B.

Don't think this can happen unless Trumera fold or go back to intermediate. Senior B is classified as senior for Gaels purposes.

Don't think this can happen unless Trumera fold or go back to intermediate. Senior B is classified as senior for Gaels purposes.

The way around it would be if Senior B was reclassified as Premier intermediate as they do in Cork and Wexford.

Accordingly to the article,It's just Ballinakill and Trumera,Margy are out

I wonder where they are off to?

I seen a list of teams submitted for 2018 club championships. Mountmellick Gaels are entered in Intermediate football, I thought gaels team were only allowed enter Senior Championships..

any other standout gaels teams

I hear Margy are gone in with Ballypickas

[From the Terrace]

Ballypickas not with anyone on what i seen. But could be since. My point is that was the whole gaels setup not about allowing lads get to play Senior Hurling/Football?

Any word on Trumera and Ballinakill? I would have assumed it would be approved or declined last night.
