Does anyone here know how long Colin Gaels have been running for? And if they've been going long enough to produce a couple of senior players where would they move to?

You'd never get City players moving amongst clubs. If they are born and started to play for a club, they will never ever move to another City team.

Haha, only wondering cause I knew they had no senior team so anyone who played the whole way through would eventually have to go somewhere else!

Its a real Shame that Colin Gaels hasnt worked - must be a massive population there in Twinbrook/Poleglass/Lagmore for a program like a well run Gaelfast to boost number and prodcie senior players in all codes

True, they's need a mini Gaelfast.

Must be a big population in that area?

Falls under Lisburn councils, I'm being funny

I've said it before and I'll say it again, too many clubs in Belfast.

Gaelfast is developed to being children from p1 up, why are there still people looking at Gaelfast as a reason for teams not developing senior players? It's been running how many months before Covid?

There are some very ill informed 'Gaels' or people with agendas

[imtommygunn]

How long has Colin gaels been going?

Too many in the west. Are there too many in the north? South feels close enough to being about right. East well at least there now is one lol.

Clubs don't want to lose their identity I get that. Dublin has 91 clubs, city and county, not sure of the city numbers, but they have the whole city on board, we've mainly West of the city, not that big as people think..

We need to have better structures to make it work better for what we have... all clubs need funding for a full time coach with all clubs, who's assigned to a local school that feeds players through to the club..

Coaches engage with parents at games after school clubs..

around 30,000 . Too many clubs in parts Of west belfast - StPauls Rossa Sarsfields on top of each other but not in the Colin area

[JimStynes]

There needs to be full time games development officers/coaches in that area. Not someone coming into take a PE lesson once a week.
