True because Wexford and Antrim are relegated to 2nd tier hurling.

Was talking about the championship Katser. Noone cares about the League.

You wont be playing Antrim because they are back in the Joe Mac next year. And I'm just being optimistic about our chances in the Park :-D

Rightly so! Next year seems a long way away, right now I'm enjoying our U23s camogie All Ireland win over Cork!

Was a good win against the odds! Enjoy the pints! I was only answering a post saying all ye had to look forward to for the next 10 years was beating ourselves and Antrim!
Plenty of hurling to enjoy between now and when we meet in the Park next year! You could have a few new faces by then also, as likely will we.

There's not much between Dublin, Galway and Wexford. I expect younger players will be introduced in Galway next year whether that means an improvement or not remains to be see.

Wont happen.
They will play some young lads in and out in the league in the muck with no backing . Back to the 2017 crop again for championship.

It won't mean instant improvement. But you'd be hoping the young lads will step up in the 2nd/3rd/4th years. I know that's what I'm hoping for ours.

Galway United FC in association with Connacht Hockey can confirm that planning permission is being sought with Galway County Council for a multipurpose sport training facility in Mountain South, Athenry

At least the debt will be paid off this season from that terrible business decision from the Galway hurling county council

I dont this so. That's going back to the end of the Celtic Tiger period and it's eventual bust (circa 2006 to 2009) which would be in the period of the previous chairman's tenure.
