A lot of subjective opinions being given if you ask me.

A little bit of objectivity is needed when dishing out opinions

I remember being given a clip around the lug and told to run out and enjoy it when I was 14. Changed times indeed.

I don't necessarily agree with the skills having to be learned at 10. I know this seems somewhat in club, but Watson was 12 before he went near a hurling field. Talent, I would like to think, is still the major factor at 14. I still think its to young to be even interested in s + c. 16s and up is time enough.

Drilling training into fellas of that age will take the enjoyment out of it eventually. I know it'll help them build up strength etc, but enjoyment of playing the game is what its all about. End of.

SIE who said anything about the skills being learnt by 10? JC mentioned the grip and the swing by age 10 and i said the grip by 12. They are the basics not all the skills. Agree with you about the enjoyment though, the kids have to enjoy it to keep them coming back.

indeed, and also a realisation that we're all a part of an amateur organisation.

I think Loughgiel take a professional look at how they are doing things though, so amateur organisation is a bit stretched sometimes

Highlighted the bit in bold, thought you were talking about all clubs

Erm, yeah. Clubs, counties, members... amateurs.

Maybe Naomh Gall are different?

[manballandall]

Naomh gall hurling managers don't get paid/expenses. Do other club managers?

I think judging by the time of that post you might have had a few shandies HS!
Has Rossa House closing forced you to drink down Milltown Row in St Galls?

Getting close to AGM time and County Convention - anyone aware of any movement in clubs?
Anyone know of the hurling league changes to be brought forward to county convention?

I am led to believe that anything that tampers with the existing D1 and maybe slightly lesser extent D2 is a dead duck.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

i dont think theres much support amongst the clubs to expand Div1 to more teams.

personally i thought it worked well this year with all the games played on a regular basis. other than that silly rearranging fixtures for the first game of the season to be some sort of curtain raiser against loughgiel and ourselves the league ran nice and smoothly with more or less all games played.

maybe it could be started earlier in the year as opposed to easter sunday? but that would depend on each year how far the antrim reps go in the club series i suppose.

[CentreHalfBack]

What I was told yesterday...

Div 1 to consist of 10 teams home and away.

Round 1 of the Senior, Intermediate and Junior championships to be played on a home and away bases. 

Junior 'B' championship for Div 4 teams.

[theskull1]

Someone taking the hand of you with that championship home and away idea.
