Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Last post by groundlie - Today at 09:51:04 AM

We have a good strong u20 team and panel this year. it will be interesting to see how they shape up this year.

I'm certainly not getting at anyone involved in this but did Dublin not beat them by 20+ points recently and Derry pushed them all the way on Friday.

Personally I feel the standards have slipped massively over the last two decades (not Davys fault) and currently the senior team is simply a reflection of poor structures within the county.

Not necessarily a swipe at the DUP but more Stormont in general in terms of this is an example of how ineffective it is as an institution in that you have a situation that can be actioned which would make an impact on peoples lives however they have supposedly 'ran out of time'.

These are just ordinary people who like the majority of this do not give 2 fs about red, white and blue or green, white and gold however have been let down badly by those who are supposed to look out for our best interests.

"No legislative space" to discuss it according to Nesbitt. Sam McBride posted a few weeks ago that the Legislative Assembly had spent 9 minutes in total discussing legislation and the rest talking shite*.

*My wording.

Officially it's down as Cargin but I assume the weather could mean it moved to PG1?

I don't think that's what happened at all. She had to run the race of her life to beat SML and she backed herself and it didn't happen because she'd too much lactate to sustain that pace... You see it happen a lot (e.g. Hodgkinson would have got silver last year but for going for gold etc etc).

SMl is a different league. Bol is fantastic but just wrong time for her or she would clean up. Hodgkinson may or may not be the one to chase in the 800. I think she may be a bit overblown by media but is no doubt fantastic too.

Derry / Re: Derry Club Football & Hurl...

Last post by lenny - Today at 09:11:54 AM

Yer mans had a fair few snidey comments. Keyboard warrior. Best ignored

Nothing snidely about it. If a man can't make the Swatragh team who are a bottom 6 club in the senior league, how can he be deemed good enough for our county team. Absolutely nothing against the lad but he's clearly not good enough.


If he wasn't Anthony Tohills son would we even be having this conversation.

Let's stop talking shite on here lads. Tohill is a very good player as we saw in the sigerson. He's also a good leader and the very experienced QUB management picked him as captain. He also did reasonably well for Derry last year and was developing. He's more than good enough to play for swatragh so let's cut out all the bullshit. Having said all that Meenagh has made the judgement that he's not quite good enough for the Derry panel at the moment and I for one am satisfied with that judgment. Let's just get behind the lads selected. Roll on Saturday and a tough game against Kildare.

GAA Discussion / Re: GAA Club Gyms

Last post by johnnycool - Today at 08:47:29 AM

Looking a bit of guidance from posters who have had a hand in developing club gyms.

My club are looking at a development project involving installing a steel-fab shed on club grounds, and fitting it out with a full spec gym.

Any advice on the following:
- Recommendations for steel manufacturers who specialise in these kind of builds (around Ulster preferably)
- Recommendations for Gym fit-out providers for small community gym
- Approx costs of the different stages of development
- Any aspects you'd do differently if doing it over again

Thanks.

Best advice I could give on this would be to avoid the prefab shed option if possible and if not to fit an air circulation/recovery system.

Did you find there were condensation issues with a shed? Air circulation/condition can be expensive.

We've one of those prefabs and condensation is a pig even after insulating it.
You will need a heat source and ventilation in there to negate condensation.
