Better later than never I suppose. Paudi Butler was very good in this role before Fogarty. He held coaching courses the length and breadth of Ireland. If the young fellas have some senior club team to progress to them they hit a Cul de Sac. I like the idea of clubs from counties where hurling is weak having a multi-county club league competition. I hope some folks who never played hurling in those counties will be more encouraged to become a hurling coach in their native county after reading the article.

Completely disagree with GAA putting coaches into schools as a strategy to promote the games -, that is as the primary strategy . Completely disagree with his statement that a paid person can't form a club. If he feels that way, he should be removed from his post. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 11/08/2018 19:17:34 2131869 Link 0 |
If hurling is on its knees Football by comparison is buried 6 feet into the ground 37thHeaven (Kerry) - Posts: 102 - 11/08/2018 21:41:48 2131964 Link 1 |
Hurling is on its knees outside about 8-9 counties. It is a real pity to think that only half the counties in Ireland even put an honest effort into the game. Imagine there is a Henry Shefflin or Joe Canning in Leitrim or Tyrone who never got a hurl in his hand. Do people from football counties think that if massive money was pumped into hurling in the county, that it would be completely squandered? Or is there any way it could be guaranteed to be spent properly and hurling focused? For me, the biggest tragedy of all is in Offaly, Laois and Antrim. These are 3 proud hurling counties and the game is dying there. I've heard Offaly people blame county boards, etc - but county boards are made up of clubs, so it is not a fair excuse. Its a pity that as we head towards 150 years of GAA, hurling hasn't reached so many parts of this island. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 17/08/2018 10:27:28 2134003 Link 1 |
