Re: CLUB HURLING MANAGERS 2012

Re: CLUB HURLING MANAGERS 2012

While I understand players will be reticent to comment for obvious reasons, I'd be interested in asking one simple factual question - how much time did Dinny Cahill actually spend with St Rynaghs last year? I don't expect anyone to say he was good/bad/indifferent, he is the club manager after all, b...

CLUB HURLING MANAGERS 2012

Just from reading the tribune the last couple of weeks Dinny Cahill is going to stay with St Rynaghs and Nicolas Claffey with Belmont! Ken Hogan surely sticking with Coolderry for another year? Is Paul Murphy staying with Birr for another attempt to win back the title? Will Pad Joe be going back to ...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

I'll be very interested to see who refs the game - if they get Tony Carroll or Brian Gavin who let the players get on with it and don't blow the whistle every time there is contact, then I'd fancy Brosna Gaels by the tiniest of margins. Should be a good game though. Tony Carroll got the intermediat...
