I believe there is a proposal for the intermediate and possibly junior championships to become all county rather than east / west. To be voted on at the county convention.

Any sign of the New Jersey

Is this true? So Coughlan and Dillon are back? Wonder did Cahill persuade them or did they just decide they’d missed it?

We all hear rumours. Most of us don't post them because nearly all of them are bollocks.

Gets an owl conversation started at least

Bollocks talked daily on the high stools and water coolers among other places

I don't know who your sources are but you must be talking to some awful bull****ters at the water cooler. But as they say, you are the average of the company you keep

Thanks. I was thinking I saw that somewhere but all our fixtures were in the media yesterday and it’s still down as the 20th.

“
Liam Cahill’s Waterford senior hurlers, who are back in training with a number of weeks, will have their first competitive outing before Christmas when they welcome Cork to Fraher Field on Friday December 20 in the Munster League, the game having a 7-30pm start.
Waterford’s second game in the competition is away to Kerry in Tralee on January 5.
The winner of the group involving these three teams will play the winner of the group involving Tipperary, Limerick and Clare in the final.”

Players must be absolutely sickened playing games so close to Christmas.

Part and parcel of the job esp with the new congested playing calendar. They will probably get a few deserved days off over the holidays

It's actually not that congested at all.

Last year Waterford started the league on Jan 27th, and the Championship on May 12th. They played ten games and were done on June 9th.

Without opening up the fixtures debate again, the 'April for clubs' thing is an absolute farce the more I think of it. Play two club games in April and postpone the rest until whenever Waterford are knocked out. And intercounty managers will keep training during the month regardless - to do otherwise in the middle of their season is madness.

They'd be better playing the intercounty fixtures straight through and finish at the end of July.

That would give ample time for clubs to start league games in April and gear up for a championship that kicks off in August.

Don’t get me started on the fixtures calendar. Must be an awful crowd of numptys in the GAA making thee decisions. How in Gods name is there intercounty games happening this side of Christmas? Was there not a blanket ban on intercounty games in November December a few years ago, so what’s changed they’ve just decided they were wrong and that welfare is not important now again?

Totally agree with you, Scrap these bollox competitions. Intercounty competitions league and championship from February to July and just let club championships commence when a teams intercounty season is over. free up the remainder of the calendar year for club championships and have the AI club championships wrapped up before Christmas. Free January up for college competitions which are important too and let that be the intercounty ‘pre-season’ for challenge games or Mickey mouse tournaments if the status quo are so adamant about keeping them alive

It’s easy be critical of our own co board and I tend to be on many issues, but the way the intercounty fixtures calendar is set up it must be impossible to accommodate Everyone and everything

Will go to the Kerry game in Tralee. The Cork game a bit close to Chrimbo.

Good chance for Cahill to have a proper look at lads in a match environment
