If so this the club should surely deal with this if it's something organised

Queens have no posts up, have you any photos of this or are you just hearing this?

Also I would be fairly sure to train at the Dub you need a pitch booking. I would imagine the answer would be no when you made that phone call.

Given the hugely positive impact the GAA has had in local communities throughout this pandemic, it would be very disappointing if any individual club behaved recklessly.

We all know there are parts of the media who would be delighted at the opportunity to bring negative attention to the GAA.

or maybe just a couple of lads went to kick about and do a bit of running off their own bat to try and keep some sanity? the way things are, there's a lot of things id hammer people for but a few lads out kicking a ball in the open and doing a bit of running to maybe keep their heads right and keep the fitness going isnt one of them

I went for a run last night, so no doubt there will be a cry from some to say there's collective training from the referee's!


I jest, though I did a run I was on my own.....

I've absolutely no issues with a bunch of guys hitting a pitch and getting core and stamina training done, but they must not have any contact, the fact that they are on a pitch outside and away from each other is no different to me being down at the shore and passing hundreds of people walking along the pathway!

To me organised training is doing drills with the footballs and tackling, not lads running...

Yeah thats the way I see it, no doubt it was a few lads doing running and one of them probably had a football and they were knocking it about, as I say lot of things people should be hammered about but im not gonna hammer fellas for trying to keep themselves someway fit and getting outta the house.

Also, naming a club was unnecessary in my opinion, when there's no proof of any wrongdoing its just feeling rumours
