Are you serious about Pete McGrath taking Burren thirds? If this is true then we are on a slippery slope in the association than I thought we were. What is wrong with all the Burren coaches who won an array of underage titles.
Truth Hurts,
   lumpitin and johnnysboys are doing what you usually do!

I only speak facts, I'm sorry if the truth hurts
 
It doesn't hurt one bit.They are winding...

Yeah I sure am serious. No expense spared up the road!!!
ALL the burren coaches u speak off are tied up elsewhere. I'm speaking of coaches only - they are like every other club where people are there for the craic not to coach.. talking to a Burren man tonight who said - Neil Coulter won u16 paul mcgirr and minor St. Paul's was up in Killeavy but is currently with Benny in Rostrevor
Eoghan McCartan and Steven O'Hare won feile and runner up in feile are current senior coaches in Burren (along with McCrory, Adams and now Pete).
Michael magill (point man) is in Louth with a club along with big Anthony Cunningham- Stefan White won minor championship last year is at Cooley Kickams, Pat Cunningham (Ballymartin man) is with Down minors and Seàn O'Hare has quit coaching.
Despite all this - they will still field at every age group and with 2 teams at some levels - fair play to them. Unlike other clubs - everyone in burren wants to be involved - they don't mind not working with their own kids and in the last ten years they have had some amount of success at underage. Personally I still think it will be 2-3 years before they are winning senior titles again.

they should be ashamed, where will all this stop. Soon they will be employing Jim McGuiness to coach their u12 team. Real Burren people must be embarrassed, not the blow ins from the Point.

It's an open secret that Jim Gavin has that role sealed up next year.

Aye have good few friends from there so just asked the question!! Some players disgusted at the Pete thing to be fair - they loved the setup last year and wanted it to continue.

@truth hurts With the amount of underage stuff they are winning - I really hope their u12 don't get McGuinness as manager!!!!

They could not face another year of failing at thirds level. Pete could be the man to get them to the promised land and bring the Father Davies to Burren as its been years since they have tasted that success  ;D

Johnnysboys I do not think they will be as strong at underage as in previous years but they will be favourites for the minor title i think.

Bryansford, Mayobridge and Bredagh might have something to say about the minor title too. Might be a year too soon for the bridge but they won the u15 at a canter last year.. Fr Davies shield could be their lot this year in fairness!!

Not good I'm afraid. We will probably have no teams in all county this year unfortunately. Some good individuals on teams but no collective outstanding teams. With a major overhaul of our senior team in the next 5 years to replace players on wrong side of 30 - we could struggle for a bit again.

Anyone know if premium level tickets are available for Sat. Want to go to hurling also and then warm up before the football. I'd say it will be freezing. 2 games in a row this time of year is a cold ask.

I'm really not sure why points are retained for what is in effect a separate competition. But apart from that gripe it makes for one very exciting season.
