Two crackers Paddy and John. Honestly believe County should be subsidising this operation, making sure it's fully sustainable.

I recall being part of a think tank around Club Aontroma back in the day and a whole meeting was taken up by talking about the essential priority of our games being properly marketed, especially to the juveniles. Now there's match reports and photos galore, and I can't help think how much we all take SG for granted!

Sterling work by them, and they report the games as they are, very professional and well respected.

Seems like a new crowd are in calling the shots and going against original St. Enda's men. Never going to end well in that scenario!

What's the closest club to St. Enda's? All joking aside would there be room for another club that direction? There's too many clubs around the West and teams struggling to field at underage including a number of the bigger clubs.

Could a new club be formed in Mallusk? Or is that too close to St. Enda's?

Sure they could set up a new GAA club in Templepatrick or Ballyclare for them ;-)

went downhilll when they joined SW

Well done to them, two gents, and of course to the likes of Brendan McTaggart, kevin Herron and Geordie who also play a major role

Surprised SG haven't got their usual "club manager's for 2023" post up yet

Ready to be posted.....patience....

Hearing Deccy Lynch has picked up a knee injury, not sure how serious, casualty list just gets bigger for Andy unfortunately .

Just curious but if people were leaving St. Enda's I would imagine they would joining the club closest to them.  What is the nearest club, plenty come to mind re W. Belfast but can not think of any in N.Belfast.

In North Belfast, noT the SW 

Wolf Tones Have reformed
Ardoyne Kichams
Padraig Pearses

Can't see the club splitting and don't think going to other clubs around there will actually improve players too much as the other clubs are in lower leagues , so they may go to clubs in the West, hoping that they sort this out as the club is (from a numbers point of view) thriving, considering that area was pretty much a unionist area at a time

Posted earlier  LC

Not everyone stays living locally in Belfast or outskirts of Belfast.. So they effectively could pick any club

The Cargin men on here can neither confirm or deny if an approach has been made to their club by the St Enda's lads

They provide an invaluable service and deserve to be fully sponsored by the county.

Yes as opposed to hard up clubs having to do it

I'm assuming they're typos and times will be fixed for the usual 2pm or so times.
Personally I'd love early morning games but I know 99% of the population would hate it.
