Re: All Ireland Club Hurling Championship 2012-2013

I felt KK completely lost their shape they were just hoofing balls down into the middle of St Thomas' backs. what happened to using the width of the park and making space? the lack of space suited the bigger Thomas' backs. they took off the only man to score from play. 1-1. I know he wasn't up to mu...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

I asked it before but I didn't get a reply

What are the gym facilities like in the county for strength and conditioning work?
Is there a central gym for all county panels, or do players just use the local crappy gyms in hotels, leisure centres etc.

Re: 2012 Leinster Club Championships

I would agree that Maher is quite loose, but his positional sense is excellent and he will play a lot of ball once he is let

A very direct on player running at him would draw a few frees if you ask me

Re: Clash of the Ash, is this the end?

Starting to see more and more kids with the fiberglass hurls. They are the future and if they like them as kids they'll play with them as adults. They don't break and in the current financial climate it will make sense for a father with a few kids. One 28" will do the whole family, as will the...
