Down Club Hurling & Football

[Splash]

Great that Newry's hosting the Ulster Senior Hurling Final tomorrow.

Good to see County Down being chosen for a couple big hurling occasions now (just a pity it's a neutral venue and there's no Down team in the final).

Should hopefully give the hurling scene in the county a bit of a boost. Not too often we get games of that level.

Would encourage anyone who is curious as to what the story is with this hurling craic to have a look tomorrow when it's on our doorstep.

Given the location of Newry, and how many more games are played now in a season, would Páirc Esler be likely to host more games in the future?

Chance the All-Ireland club semi-final could be played in Newry.

O'Loughlin Gaels won today and Leinster play Ulster so, irrespective of who it is, it could be in Newry.

It's hosted big games in the past (AI club hurling semi finals). You're kidding yourself if you think it'll make any kind of difference to hurling in Newry.

Curious.... How would this give hurling a boost?

Hasn't gone down well with the locals.

[Truth hurts]

Why not?
Was it not the locals who picked them?

Aye some locals picked it alright but it wasn't a reflection of what everyone wanted apparently.

Was the selection not by a sub-committee & ratified by the club committee who are voted for by club membership at AGM?
It's about as democratic as can be.

Not ratified by whole committee as they currently don't have a committee..

So how was the management team ratified? Why wouldn't a club of Burren's calibre have a committee?

I think the case with Burren at the minute, is that should you make a universally (or as close as) welcome appointment, then nobody tries to interfere with it; through official means or otherwise. This decision seems to have rankled enough people for them to go check their constitutions.

I'm so confused—what happened? Check constitutions? WTF

You're taking me too literally.

The general principles of how to stop things in GAA land are to first challenge the committee in charge that this isn't how things are done in their club, and if all else fails, dig up the constitution, find something to back you up, and throw a spanner into the works.

[Truth hurts]

A seamless transition then
