Cavan are in New York for 5 days training, including 2 games against New York.
I know our opponents Monaghan were in Portugal.
What about the rest?

Complete waste of money in my opinion
Maughan took us off to Portugal one year. Total success.
I thought I saw some comments from Fitzmaurice about Kerry heading to Portugal.

Maybe but it is good to give something back to players too and get some bonding and training in at the same time
All right for Dublin being in a permanent training camp :P
Think our lads are off to Mosney.

If you had a bus you could travel anywhere in Ireland.
Down are in London at the minute and thats the main reason our leagues haven't started yet and now the first round has been postponed due to the Div 2 final.

And drinking!
I heard from Donegal connections that Jimmy McGuinness had 12 training camps last year. 11 of them were in Ireland. His financial backers in England were writing cheques like they were going out of fashion.
One thing that always intrigues me. What do managers and players work at that they can have so much time off????
Derry run a tight ship financial, no sporting ventures here, though weekend at Bernies not out of the equation lol

I assume most 'training camps' were Friday-Sunday. Lots of IC teams do two day camps regularly enough.

Wednesday to sunday regularly. 20 of the panel weren't working
Did Roscommon not do a lot of team bonding in the past?

No?
Are these not illegal per the rulebook?

I don't think so. Sure haven't Armagh been going to Malaga for years?

They went on a warm weather training camp once but it was hard to get them away from the pool to do a bit of training.

Asylum seeking?
37 man Mayo panel gone to Portugal for the week. Any idea how much these overseas training camps cost?
Up & down Errigal for the next month.
Job done.
I heard the Cork lads in both codes are going away from a week to an advanced training facility very close to home with a very strong element of weight training called B-lockshiftin and a related intensive skill element called B-locklayin.
The finance guys in the CCB are after getting a very good deal for the week apparently....
New Gentle Park I believe is the name of it....

They must have saved the money from the croke park bailout they got

Heard mayo went on a wine tasting weekend but never got beyond the bottling area.
Like Indiana, I disagree with these training camps abroad. The top 2 divisions have no games in the league because of this.
Down were in London last weekend.

Obviously acclimatization training for the first round game v Londonderry :P

The combination of the Mayo Jersey and the tan intimidates Roscommon. You'll think it joking but it's a true story bro.
