Anyone know what clubs are travelling down to the hurling Feile in Waterford/Tipp?
thanks

Look, a huge issue is clubs not doing enough work at underage and with the primary and secondary schools. If the clubs had the demand for more games, more competitions and more coaching courses and workshops then the county board might respond Is there any club in the county that you could hold up a...

Westmeath are there for the taking. No confidence in the county team up there at all

We're not in the Aviva on Sunday

Luckily not. They ban alcohol there for soccer matches!

you'd want to tell people who were up there on good friday that
only place you could get a pint

On a different note, I'm slightly bemused by the assertion that "hurling has become more a team game now in recent years, as opposed to a game for individuals where yo 'bate' the ball as long and as far as you can and it was up to the next fella to win his own ball". It's been quite a few...

You play the system that best suits your players modern Kilkenny under Cody have gone for big strong men all around 6ft who are willing to buy into the manager's system.

Anyone I've talked to in Westmeath has said they've a poor team next year and into the next few years.

crazy to be playing senior hurling on the last weekend in November

fair play to Oulart for coming back from all those losses

physical strength really comes to the fore in the last 15/20 minutes imho

the strength and endurance needed to keep going, shipping heavy hits and making the correct decisions under pressure.

rucks forming are generally from players making an incorrect decision when on the ball

Anyone have a plan or calendar of the coaching courses being run over the winter?

It is happening in every county. clubs that rest on their laurels and past glories generally get left behind and only begin to wonder what went wrong after it is too late too many clubs keep too close an eye on what the neighbour is doing and keeping them down, instead of looking to see what the bes...
