Antrim Hurling

[johnneycool]

Interesting points from county chairman today in Irish News
(1) are divisional boards working?

Too broad a question - it some aspects they are successful and relevant, but in other ways they must always be subservient to the county board. Not just in rule, but in practice also.

(2) clubs to amalgamate in belfast ( creating even bigger super clubs !!!!!)

Its a constant issue now. But one which we're frankly unable to get agreement on. Sadly I think it'll be a case of the more Clubs becoming redundant than formal amalgamations to form one new Club. Until then we're left with the to and fro of sanctions etc.


(3) are developing squads working ?

Absolutely not. Our "development" squads do not develop our player base at all. Rather they cream the already developing players off from their clubs and in turn deny others the chance to develop through meaningful club hurling.
If they are essentially county squads at underage level then they should not run throughout the year and interfere with underage club fixtures & training - if they are genuine development squads then they should only involve players from lower divisions without regular quality hurling.
The purpose is to develop hurling across the whole playing base - not for the few already developing well.

Power Hungry  people !!!!
Not too many North antrim  / south West  on county executive!!!

Indeed

You're bang on the money WRT development squads from what I know of the Down hurling ones and taking the best hurlers from each club fucks it up for the rest of the lads left behind especially when you've very small squads like we have.

The above comments are real good language for the gaa.

All club volunteers, and indeed the divisional (which are very important) and county board people need and deserve respect and assistance, for what they have contributed in the past, and for what they will contribute in the future – from everyone, in a mature way.

This includes the current vision crowd and others, and also JM and TE, who seem to have had cheap swipes taken at them recently.

Paid managers or any position must be resisted – we are based on volunteers; going to the extreme, will we start paying the mummies who bake the buns and brew the tea after games ?

We should stop 'paying' referees too, expenses should be adequate...

Good to see PJ working with other clubs, plenty experience and obviously passion for the game

Which team PJ going with?

Think he was helping Keady this year.
