Fundraising is difficult no matter what the sport or organisation. It's very difficult for people to support everything at the moment. As it stands for me at the this year I've three different gaa clubs to support between both codes senior and underage club amalgamation. €300 roughly gear another €200 that's with club discounts. Club lotto's another €160 a yr roughly. Then each clubs individual traditional fundraisers during the year another €200 between table quiz's and raffles and other ideas. And also supporting the clubs ladies teams fundraising circa €50 during the year. So there's nearly a thousand euro a yr on my own involvement before the county board look for fundraising for the senior inter county teams. It's tough in this day and age for people to support all.
As was mentioned you need to make the appeal of fundraisers as broad as possible to all walks of life.

Connacht minor champions once again, as hard as earn as possible as Galway pushed us all the way especially 2nd half.
Our 3 goals key in a competitive final. Well done Shane Moran his management and all the young Rossie players.

Replying To JahTribe: "Yes, it appears with Galway minors they improve with each game, it will be interesting to see how they go in the QF, any idea who they play.
As for the senior game, looking down the subs bench there are many players who can come in and not weaken and indeed maybe strenghten the starting 15. Its the strongest panel we have fielded in some time." As I said on here yesterday All-Ireland Minor quarter-final against the Ulster champions next. Tyrone probably the favourites to win out but Derry,Monaghan are strong also.

Replying To Expertinall: "The more games you play, the more likely you are to pick up injuries or suspensions, the division the opposition play in does not change that. I agree with you about Galway, but it's an open draw, and they got lucky. Munster is the only one, who has 2 seeded teams, which is now advantageous, with home advantage guaranteed, why can I not call it out? I could also highlight some of the Munster opposition league status, but I doubt it's necessary. I hope there's a great Munster final, tomorrow, but I'm allowed to question the format by which it's arrived at." Good post. You are totally correct, Galway got lucky this year. Kerry and Cork are set up to get it handy every year. They can gear their training for a Munster Final.

Replying To WanPintWin: "Fouls on attacking players. The free Galway had last night was for a Roscommon player taking too long to take his own free. A two point free for that seems extremely harsh. Likewise for fouling the ball, such as over carrying, touching it on the ground etc." Well posted. That sets it out well. As for last night, that should surely have been a throw ball rather than a free in to Galway.

Good luck to the footballers tomorrow. Down a few thru injury but others are back like Adam McCarron. Apart from Hulton isn't Mikey Bambrick suspended also I think?" Bambrick was the main starter I heard who was out with a big enough injury. Ruth a massive loss in the middle too

Replying To foreveryoung: "Half-time: Kildare 1-15 Galway 1-05
A huge roar and a standing ovation for Kildare. Nothing plucky about this - and yes, the breeze is playing a big part - but they have out-fought and out-hurled Galway.
Galway people, don't worry, the footballers will rectify that and beat Kildare in the qualifiers. Galway is a footballing county after all." Your knowledge of hurling has always been suspect.
A brilliant game for both sides. Kildare were fantastic in the first half , showed they deserve to play at the top level and should take enormous confidence from their performance. I went onto the field and shook hands with every Kildare player I encountered. Total respect.
Galway can take so much from this. Number one,never underestimate the opposition. Games need to be won and the mental attitude needs to be right all the time. They'll know now that if Kildare can give them such a fright, then Dublin, Wexford, and any other team they meet after that will beat them if the attitude is not 100% right. I was delighted with the way Galway came back in the 2nd half and especially with the composure they showed when it was put up to them.

Replying To endgame: "I'd be happy enough with a change to the rule as suggested by wanpintwin here. I think two points for any free from outside the arc is too easy and is not justified. Two good minor teams and I'm sure Galway are disappointed to lose by a point as we would have been. Roscommon wait now for the Ulster runner up and I think the Ulster minor championship is only at quarter final stage. I agree with the post here that the scheduling in Connacht didn't help Roscommon minors. Having won all our games in the group stage, we had a gap to the Connacht final and Ros may have lost some momentum with that wait for the final." You didnt answer the question. Do you want to reward fouling outside the 2 point arc especially late in the game? Thats exactly what will happen if you get your wish and a free is only worth 1 point. Why would any team let the opposition work any 2 point shot if a simple foul reduces the risk to 1 point?

You mention Armagh,They are in a provincial final and did nt beat any division 1 team.
Dublin are in a provincial final by beating a division 4 team and Division 2 team and will face a division 3 eam in their final.
Lets mention Galway.They are in a provincial final after beating a division 4 team.A team that was ranked 31 after the league.

Understandably players families will probably get tickets for it but I don't mind that. They are entitled to these. I am sure there will be a lot of people not from Armagh or Monaghan sitting in these comfy seats. Same as any finals around the country." The fringes for next Weekend and then back to the middle of the Gerry Arthur for the Mayo match as 80% of the people in the GA Stand next weekend will NOT be at the Mayo match.

Good see o flaherty at wing forward think it's a positive move not sure 2 be honest about Daly at centre back the last few times molloy has picked up enda smith and done ok on him but the way game is gone now it's the team u finish with is often the stronger one I'd say Hernon , Tierney, comer o Laoi definitely see game time and either McGrath or Mulhern who are both good kick passers which u need es when comer comer in no point having him in there if slow hand passing o Laoi , McGrath and Mulhern are good kick passers, definitely need to watch Ross kickouts the ones over the midfield press that's how they open up mayo and how they got goal in league v Galway wing backs need to read flight of ball and not get caught under it

I've tried to post about that last free in to Galway that could have beaten us but I've been blocked by the mods here. I still disagree with two points from a free and would like to see that rule changed." Why do you disagree with 2 points from a free? Do you want to reward fouling in the 2 point shooting area?

Best performance of the year so far for the minors in a surprisingly one sided semi final against Wexford. Forward line flowed really well considering they were without Tadhg MacCarthaigh who would probably be the pick of the forwards in the squad. Poinard and Coen really good along with Larkin up front. Gus Lohan very strong in midfield. Hopefully they keep improving and it all bodes well for next year considering a good few of them are minor again in 2027.

I have to say I find it slightly amusing that we have some well known ex inter County players with their knickers in a twist about GAA+
The same kind of boys who travel far and wide to coach teams all on a strictly voluntary basis of course.

The fundraiser is not the best, I'm not sure why you wouldn't sell tickets at the final it's probably the easiest time to sell tickets. Either way I've bought my ticket and I'd hope everyone else on the forum or going to the game has bought one. Time to get behind the county even if you don't agree with how it's being run.

Unfortunately, I won't make it as I've a communion, but can't wait for it all the same. Without a doubt Kerry will want to quench this Cork confidence, and show them who's boss. All set up to be a cracker.
Good piece in the Examiner today from Maurice Fitz.." Answer me this, why should cork and Kerry get home advantage in all Ireland? You have played nobody, and seeded your championship to make sure you both get to the final, of a hurling province, yet you want equal status with the likes of Armagh, who have had to manage their league campaign, to arrive at the same position?
