Hearing word colm begley is main man anyone know? Or is only filling in until county board get their finger out + appoint a man?

GAA-SMART

Begley is County Games Development officer so is only covering until the County Board get whoever they want I would think,  Begley couldn't really do it and be playing Senior County Football..

From the Terrace

yeah makes most sense, county board really dragging feet on this one.

Was over at the final yesterday and very little talk of it

Main worry for new management will be the fact St Pauls had 5 Laois forwards and only scored about 1-4 and the Goal was a peno !

One bad performance doesn't make them bad players. Like I said in the other thread, it was as bad a performance as they've put in in years. Not quite as bad as the first half of the U16 final v Portlaoise but at least in that one they came out and scored 1-10 in the second half. Never looked like doing anything similar yesterday. Port were worthy winners, had some fine players themselves

Absolutely. Actually both teams are better than that game showed. Port have some fine players and deserved that win. Some of the county standard players never got going yesterday. Happens.
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

If 5 of them St. Paul's fowards are considered county standard it's a big worry some of them didn't want to know about it yesterday playing against fellow chaps

Like I said, and I'm sure they know it themselves, they never did themselves justice yesterday.

It wud of been nice to win u16 17 18 all in one year

Anyone know why Mark Rooney didn't continue this year ?

El Jefe

Heard on Sunday that it was down to money, county board thought what he was doing was costing too much. Don't know how true that is

GAA-SMART

After what they forked out on the Creedon gang I cant imagine how Rooney could of been costing too much, at the end of the Day they got to a Leinster Final, not a bad return, no matter what the costs really. The fact there is no names being mentioned other than Kinsella and Kelly suggests maybe its not Kinsella and Kelly or the CB don't want them, what could possibly be the hold up.

From the Terrace

Heard 1500 a month he was getting last year, decent money but he got as much as anyone got out a group of players, but the county board probably in napper tandys for the week, might sort it next week.

Do you know what the Creedon gang is costing ?
