Re/ Underage structures
i know a serious amount of work has gone on at underage level in my own club over the last 10 years.. we are seeing the benefit as we are now competing in Division One and more than holding our own,Bailebrough are another one who are putting in the work,they have some great young talent coming through at underage level(and they have size aswell!!)
i won everything from U 12 up,alot of the time competing with Boojangles and Drumalee  but it was all Division 2, as the Gaels powered by Nicholas Walsh and co, owned Division One at every grade and annihilated everyone in their path.To me our minor team even if they dont win a league or championship this year have achieved far greater than we did by competing and holding their own with the best teams in the county.

i think it shows a great amount of work has been done in certain clubs as Baileborough(under 14, under 16 mainly) Castlerahan,Crosserlough  Kingscourt and Lurgan/Ramor  have improved and on occasion indeed surpassed the Gaels at different age groups. There are still clubs who have to get their act together though,but definite improvements have been made by certain clubs

id always hold Tyrone up as the benchmark as to where we must get to in terms of coaching and youth development,
Tyrone were putting their youth and coaching structures together in 1994, a good 10-12 years before we caught on so we have alot of catching up to do.

I see you've been cleaning up  the carnage you left on the board on Sunday

Tis the effects of following Cavan. Seniors to play Under 21's this weekend. Will they win this one?? Would be great to see the players away from home pooling cars and making the efforts to come home for training midweek. Its a proud moment in any players career to make his home county panel so with all the modes of transport available to these guys maybe they could use some of the grant money to travel once a week!!!!

It's easy saying that from here, but I don't care what panel you're on - If you're working on the far side of Dublin and you don't finish work till 6 bells you haven't a snowballs hope in hell of getting to Cavan for 8 bells.  Anyway I don't think this time of year is the most important time to be coming down for training... couple of weeks before champo obviously.

Anyway I believe that the training the Dublin based players are doing up there with the Mayo and Wexford boys is top notch stuff.  The guy running it, Jim Kilty knows his stuff big time.

Our club trained in Navan on a wednesday night nearly all last summer, so the dublin lads could come down,
Theres no reason why the dublin based players cant continue working with the Mayo/Wexford lads with Jim Kilty,but also meet with the Cavan based lads one night DURING the week somewhere in Meath,Anyone who has ever done county training at this time of the year could tell you,heavy sessions take days to recover from,so its not ideal to be doing heavy sessions on a friday,then having national league matches on a Sat or Sunday, it would explain why the lads looked very sluggish against Tipp.

Is Sean McCormack U21 this year haisman?

[BallyhaiseMan]

Hes not, no C4ever
Hes in the US working aswell, went 3 or 4 weeks ago. Huge Miss for the club.

[boojangles]

T think that enough about him now.

I don't understand?
Boojangles, apart from the Queens match, McCormack was worse than Podge in the other two games in my opinion. He should have been tried in a different position because he was lost at corner-back.
What has happened Tierney??

Your right there.Enda hasnt played corner back since 2005.
Drumalee played Knockbride on Saturday,John Tierney played the full match at Midfield and looked very good.His composure and reading of the game is second to none.Not sure whats the story with him and Cavan.
BH Man whats the story with Cullivan,is it true that there is problems with his transfer??

He hasnt trained with the club this year yet, because he was/is supposed to be heading to the States to work/holiday until May when he was coming back.
dont know whats the story so.

As RednBlack says, For an Inter County Transfer you have to give an address, He supposedly gave DCU as his address which was rejected because it wasnt a permanent residence.
dont know if he will put in another request(is there a deadline??), or if he will play for us this year.

If my memory serves me right, there is no deadline for Inter County transfers at all
