ONeills - yes they are a rip off to some extent

We, cuchulainns, tried using a different, new company this year to supply t-shirts for u12 squad which we give to them before they play an annual tournament every year.
We have used oneills in the past no of years and 6weeks before we needed them we ordered them, they came no problem before the boys had their weekend away.

As mentioned we used a different company, which fitted the boys in late May just to make sure they were ready in time for August 21st.
They asked for payment in 1st week of July so they could release the tshirts to us.
In August numerous weekly/daily/hourly phonecalls were made to find out where the tshirts were. Answer was, coming in a lorry from China and will be with us before we go away.
The day before the boys went away (20th Aug) a box of 30 tshirts were delivered in all adult sizes - XL and XXL not as per ordered.
Rang oneills in strabane at 3pm on the 20th and asked if they had any bulk stock that they could sell us that day, although there was no crest on them, they had enough stock to do an order for us.

So they may be a bit of a rip off, but we're going back to oneills next year - better the devil you know etc
Its all about the Hurling.
