Replying To jobber: "Still no news on minor county hurling or indeed the senior where the question is will any player from out top 4 clubs participate or does anyone care?" Senior as far as I know Kevin o Brien stays but a few of last yrs backroom team not going forward. There'll be no scrounging for pitches in the county this winter, two nights a week in abbotstown asked for now whether the CB agrees is a different story. 2maroonjerseys (Galway) - Posts: 200 - 09/09/2026 15:08:01 2693301 Link

You wouldn't see the county board paying for abbostown, they're probably tight enough for cash themselves with the fundraising going on for the Centre of Excellence. The footballers went to Mexico after winning the Tailteann Cup and brought the girlfriends that time, which was fair enough, but if this holiday is costing around €70k maybe this time just let the players and management go. Nothing against the girlfriends at all, but it would save a fair few quid and whatever is left could be put towards the Centre of Excellence and hopefully get something moving on that sooner rather than later.

Hurling willfully unless they get some order where to train. May as well forget about Hurling if they can't get money or at least 1 night at same place Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1344 - 09/09/2026 17:10:49 2693325 Link
Talk about integration issues at top gaa issues. Westmeath seem to have this issue with hurling and getting worse particularly underage Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1344 - 09/09/2026 17:13:25 2693326 Link
Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Hurling willfully unless they get some order where to train. May as well forget about Hurling if they can't get money or at least 1 night at same place" Theyre sending players around the towns and villages into small coffee shops and other small businesses asking for a grand to buy a framed jersey some of these businesses probably didnt even know Westmeath had a football team until the Leinster final. Its a good idea in fairness but obviously fairly desperate if this is the lengths we have to go to TheWagonWheel-N91Y529 (Westmeath) - Posts: 24 - 10/09/2026 11:33:09 2693380 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "Why would anyone from Clonkill or Clann ba Gael or Na Piarsaigh or Castletown not play with the county but lads from Brigid's or Southern Gaels or Vincent's would??" Thats an excellent question. Hopefully people on the board will be able to answer and sort it out jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 2009 - 10/09/2026 15:31:34 2693422 Link
