think its difficult enough to market an all inclusive gaa magazine, it has been tried and failed a number of times, in ulster gaelic life are doing a good job, but a €5 solely hurling magazine imo will never last, hope im proved wrong all the same!

It will take some promotion.  Think its a great idea though and €5 is nothing for 80 pages of hurling pics and info.  I hope it goes well for Frank as he is a true gent and has hurling at heart.  I do agree it will be difficult.

If I was to hazard a guess, A tipp fan put this on the net in the wake of last Sundays loss to Waterford. Davy was never liked there and has been the focus of abuse for years by tipp fans.

Its still on utube

Would go mad myself if someone did that to me but one must take into account the way Davy treats them in LIT.  The lads that make it might have some time for him but there are a lot of disgruntled hurlers too.  I got that video from the guy that filmed it but wouldn't dream of putting it on utube.  Don't think he would either.  Get the texts they send out before matches from another.  Something wrong when the panel do that and I can only assume it with the way Fitzgerald treats people.  Also get all the stories of what happens.  No other college have that problem and there is a fair amount of bollixing going on between the dressing rooms, games and the after match festivities.


Care to elaborate ?

I think its clear enough  there.  This would only happen to Davy.  The whole LIT thing is a joke.  Running through mountains at night, running up hills blindfolded, getting army rangers to jump out of bushes to frighten lads when going through mountains, staying in a hotel the night before home games, training camps at christmas with lads staying in hotels.  Then you have the question of reports of cash exchanging hands for players to go to LIT.  Only some players mind you.  Any sensible hurler would see this as mad.

GerLock is not a cert to remain on as manager.  Anything but.  Rafication for a third year will come up at the next meeting and be regected by the delegates.  Galway will then go on the management merry go round.

New Hurling Mag - Hurling World

Suppose its like anything, if its supported it could give us hurling folk great information on whats happening in hurling circles and if not it will fold.  Talking to Frank he is open to ideas and suggestions on what to include and what interests people.  Drop him a line.



PRESS RELEASE
Launch of Hurling World – a new magazine dedicated exclusively to hurling and camogie
Who will win this years All-Ireland final? Does the provincial hurling championships have a future? And what is GAA President Nickey Brennan's vision for hurling.
The answers to these questions and much more can be found in Hurling World, a new monthly magazine dedicated exclusively to the national game. Issue One is being launched on September 1 and will feature in-depth coverage and analysis of this year's All-Ireland final from some of the country's top hurling writers.
Ronnie Bellew look at to this year's final, while we go behind the scenes of RTE's All-Ireland final day coverage, and look back at some of the greatest ever All-Ireland hurling final speeches.
Hurling World's launch issue also features a major interview with GAA President Nickey Brennan, an analysis of the ongoing debate about the hurling championship structures, and we step back in time with the men who made history when they were named as hurling's first All-Stars in 1971.
Kilkenny's John Power, Cork's Tom Kenny, Galway's Ollie Canning, Liam Horan and Waterford's John Mullane have joined the Hurling World Panel.


Coaching and fitness issues are covered in our Players Zone section while veteran inter-county referee Dickie Murphy and the GAA's National Hurling Director Paudie Butler will be writing monthly columns on refereeing and hurling development.


Hurling World will also include extensive coverage of camogie, special club focus features, round-ups of the latest hurling news from your county, features on the classic matches and teams, and hurling news from Britain, the US, and further afield.


Hurling World is full of surprises!
