mayo club champions have also been continuallly beating roscommon champions over the last number of years and my friend heinken i did not consider those remarks stupid nor is my knowledge of hurling weak in my opinion.

obviously you dont follow the hurling scene

Roscommon should end up bottom

I'll put my money on Roscommon to beat Kerry and Mayo

roscommon are miles behind mayo the mayo junior team would be roscommon

I wonder will Prenty allow a few hurling walls to be built at the centre of excellence???

good one 

if you can afford it employ a full time coach to go into the primary schools in your club catchment area, it works wonders with their skill levels and takes the pressure off the club coaches who dont have to spend as much time at the basics, i know its a lot of money but its worth it beleive me  if you can get the right coach. 

was sean feeney a good footballer himself? we know he was a great hurler because he also told them they were training too many times a week.

the article in the independent painted a completely different picture altogether.

just one more question are they not that popular?,  BTW have enjoyed immensely reading all the posts sometimes we get immersed in our own clubs and counties and forget that there is a whole world out there that have the very same hopes and fears about their clubs and counties,     

sorry to intrude but  why are they called the swampies?

there is not doubt that hurling has grown in mayo in the last 10 years, we have 6 senior clubs which all have juvenile clubs plus  in the last number of years juvenile clubs have been started in claremorris, ballyvary and moytura (ballinrobe) this is in spite of all the roadblocks put in our way.
so while we will never be in the same league as the galways, kilkennys of this world we can still aspire to be at least at the top level of christy ring and who knows if a special bunch of hurlers came along together we might give the higher counties a rattle for a few years.
but the harsh realities of life in a football county is you spend most of your energies fighting to keep the sport alive as opposed to moving it on to a higher plain and when the people who could really help you don't give a toss you are fighting a losing battle.   

Maybe someone from outside the county and with a bit of profile would be more capable of ensuring hurling doesn't get shafted.

do you think Finnerty is coming just out of love for mayo hurling?, i doubt it all thats bringing him is pounds shilling and pence, and as to
an outsider ensuring that hurling wont get shafted, may i just mention the name of Micky Moran who got them to a football final and look what happened him.

if i was to tel you some of the strokes the mayo football board get up to when it comes to hurling, i would be here for a week and probably thrown off the board.l

some of the people behind the scenes in mayo hurling at the moment are quite wealthy im told, so thats where the money must be coming from to pay finnerty, as all money earned by the hurlers is diverted to footbal activities.
