    saw an ad in de paper the other day for this campaign that Powerade are launching to find a GAA club to sponsor for next year. This is the crowd that sponsored yer man to do the triathalon, there was an ad with Paul O'Connell at one stage. I suppose there's a few ways of looking at this - I know for a fact that a few of the lads from the club back home would completely lose the run of themselves in front of a TV camera! But it mightn't be a bad idea if it shows how the ordinary clubman puts in huge efforts but doesn't get the same recognition as the 'big stars'. As far as I know, it's for any team from minor upwards including junior, intermediate sides etc....

    Yeah I heard about it too.
    It will be a good idea I suppose if the team does well. Obviously if they don't do well the team, the club and the brand will get slated.
    I'm sure the manager of teams that the Powerade team come up against won't find it too hard to give a pre match pep talk.
    With that said I guess that the fear of failure should push on the Powerade team to put a little bit more into training over the winter months.

    Powerade marketing team I am not!
    Can one not comment on the latest GAA issues of the day anymore without smart arses like Pat getting his knickers in a twist
    Its not like there is a whole lot happening in the GAA world at the moment. Would you prefer if we talked about the M Donnelly Inter-Provisional Series where the Kerry subs get to play for their province. (I'm not part of the M Donnelly marketing team either by the way)

    Apologies lads I am way to cynical! 1st posts and all that. Is it a club or county thing or is it open to any team underage or whatever. BTW Roscommon Hurlers are bound for Division 2 next year and the Christy Ring, so they missed out by a year, but I do like the idea of Frankie Dolan being used by the campaign.although their is a better chance with Heineken
