In fairness after playing a few games towards the end of the year on a saturday I have to say I would much prefer it than a sunday game.  It will always conflict with the soccer games but neverthe less leaves everyone with the sunday free.
I think you can only have one sport as a priority and if your losing players to soccer games so be it.  In my view Carnbane League doesnt compare.

The slippy surface in the marshes seems to be a strange one, although the turf appears to be in good condition any sort of a sharp turn causes players to slip, as has been seen in recent games.  I changed from mouldies to studs at half time in a game on it a month ago.  Studs gave me slighlty better grip but as pointed out by bridge gael the ground won't take it and so I ended up with blisters by the end.  I think it must be something to do with the knitting of the grass, compact soil.  When Croke park was first re-surfaced wasn't there similar problems?  I think more games on it can only help.

I think the panel needs to be cut so that ross and co can concentrate on improving the players he has.  There has been enough searching for new players.  As for training weeks away. why not. Any man who trains all year round need something to freshen things up, it can only be healthy for team building and enthusiasm.
