Replying To Galwaymaster9: "Big appointment from Headford GAA getting Bunt Roache and Mike Farragher in for 2026..." Looks like a big statement to try to get out of junior next year.. Gaagodeo (Galway) - Posts: 52 - 07/12/2025 21:15:00 2647395 Link

Anyone know if Alan Naughton is in with the Galway panel? WonTon5 (Galway) - Posts: 90 - 08/12/2025 16:54:41 2647524 Link

Replying To GalwayFan97: "Seen them this year, there's a journey in them, young team. Good man Bunt" Stong Minor team this year as and have the privilege of having 2 county minors to bring into the Junior setup. Watched Ciaran O'Donnell play on a couple of occasions this year and looks a fine player, seems to have a real mature head on his shoulders, great communicator and is a nice fielder of the ball. He is definitely one to watch over the next couple of seasons. Would like to see Sean Birmingham push on a bit, haven't heard much of him in that last few years, is he still playing? .... Headford have the players coming through, only a matter of time until they bounce back to Intermediate. WonTon5 (Galway) - Posts: 90 - 08/12/2025 21:07:23 2647555 Link

Replying To gaillimhboy: "I don't think so" If Naughton is not involved it would be absolutely crazy. Unless he opted out himself. A scoring machine at intermediate this year. Have no doubts he'll continue scoring at a high rate in senior next year. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2453 - 09/12/2025 13:45:06 2647646 Link

I agree that he definitely should be looked at but there is a massive difference between club intermediate level and inter county level. I am not sure he has the pace for IC level but worth a look for sure. Look at Connelly for Moycullen best club player last 5 years and I feel he should be looked at again.

Naughton is involved. I am a huge fan of Dessie, exceptional club player, but I think we have seen he is not an intercounty forward. He would be a huge addition to the training panel etc but I dont think he would want that at this stage. He is heading to Australia for some time anyway, I am not sure for how long, but he would be a huge loss to Moycullen next year. They lack scoring forwards outside of Dessie. Best wishes to him he has been some servant to them over the last 10 years. GalwaysFinest (Galway) - Posts: 203 - 10/12/2025 08:42:43 2647751 Link

Can somone explain to me how it is a good appointment for any club to get an outside manager and an outside coach no matter how good they are The succesful clubs are the ones that have local managers and selectors Galway2001 (Galway) - Posts: 25 - 12/12/2025 12:06:34 2648082 Link
