If this team/club has no underage structures how can they expect killeavy to triain the kids from killean knowing that when they develope they may jump ship,this team/club will do nothing but disrupt the great work that has started at killeavy underage. if the plan is for underage teams,then the children of killean will be done a great diservice as it takes years do develope undeage structures and the numbers are not there to make this viable.

Sure this was happening with amalgamated teams and there were lads on here saying it was correct. No team or mentor should be ask to train cubs till under fourteen or any age to have them grow up and move to another club. Especially clubs that could be knocking your club out of a senior championship . It is wrong and it will only become increasingly more difficult to get people on board to train younger teams because they know their future no longer lies with your club. It used to be a given right that the kids would grow up to play senior football for the club. With the changes in society and all other distraction the numbers coming through are decreasing year by year certainly at my own club. These amalgamated teams and new teams springing up are only further increasing the problem. What has this Killean team came out of a row?? It's a joke.

Could Killeavy not just block transfer requests down the line?

yeah corn that is ok in practice but you know i know there are ways around everything . Plus if you refuse transfers then the players may just leave. Either way Killeavy will be losing them.

killeavy should enter a seconds team in div4 like they used to,I'm sure there'd be no love lost when the two meet

Yeah true enough. I'd say there has been some fall out over it. It is hard to see where they will get 20 non-members. The standard of the Junior Championship is quite high.

How can these lads play for a club that has been formed for all the wrong reasons?
How can you have any sense of pride in the jersey given the circumstances?

Time is a great shield. I may be naive, but I expect it to be a short-term venture.

I don't know. They have the money to survive so thats half the battle already

I wonder what sort of reception the idea would have gotten at Co board level if it hadn't have been Hughie's baby??

Not sure of the exact details but an apparent fall out at Killeavy has led to this club being formed in a neighbouring parish

But you dont know what the fall out reasons are fitz? Or what the circumstances are?
So how can you say what you did?

For all the talk on this club Ive yet to hear of the reasons, maybe they are the wrong reasons maybe they're not but if you dont know how can you make such a statement?

I don't know the exact politics and don't really need to, what is clear is that a disaffected ex-member of Killeavy is spear-heading this. There is no apparent need for a new club in the area either, so it kind of narrows the scope down that the club has been formed for reasons other than the promotion of Gaelic games. No Underage teams have been registered either from what I can gather, just a senior team.

Unbelievable, you don't know what you're talking about or anything about the situation but feel you can mouth?
