Sorry that was a typo, my point was Hurling is number one in Dungarvan not split like FMW/The Nire and so with their numbers should be in a stronger position to challenge (if numbers is the basis for the argument).

Big difference between having good intermediate and Junior teams and being no1 Contenders for the senior title though, isn't there?

Intermediate hurling in Waterford in the 1970s was of a very high standard. Junior in the 60s was renamed Intermediate and the junior championship as we know it now was introduced for weak clubs. Fourmile was not one of the weaker clubs and played at Intermediate level. The point I am making is that there is a very strong hurling tradition dating back many decades.
A lot of fine intermediate hurlers in that period never got a look in for the country senior hurling team thanks to blinkered selection committees. They might get one trial game, would be deliberately played out of position and then dumped.

Manager Merry go round, its silly season on the manager front has anyone a clue on who is been lined up by clubs? I heard that Benji Whelan has left the Nire and is being linked with Clonea anyone else hear this or other appointments?

Heard Denis Walsh in contention for FMW/Nire job. Benji Whelan did a fantastic job there. Best of luck to him. Tallow under new management this year. Terence McSweeney stepped down after 4/5 years.

Who did ye get Micko? Queally was taking the Abbeyside job until the Rower came calling and scuppered that deal! Jimmy Healy back at Abbeyside now having served as a selector with Dungarvan for the past 3 years. Derek Lyons is favourite for the Dungarvan job. James O Connor is gone to Killeagh. The Premier league isn't a patch on it!!

Haven't heard who we've gotten yet. Not easy to get locals to get involved with the amount of work required.
It's the time of year for new management appointments though.

Update on the Ballygunner situation, not sure if this is definite - a bit embarrassing really if it is - Fergal, Martin Fogarty, Tommy Dunne with Gordon Ryan and one other selector plus a separate physical trainer.

Someone is having you on.
Martin Fogarty has a well paid new job with Croke Park so training a team is out of the question for him.

Brendan Coleman was coaching Tallow for the last two years but Terence McSweeney has been manager/coach for the last 4/5 years.

Fogarty is on board alright but because of his position he won't be named officially.

What's the management team for the under 21 hurlers for 2017 ???

Hard too see us retaining the All Ireland but we got a kind draw in the Munster semi final at home to Cork. If we win that we have to travel for the final

Ryan acknowledged the significant contribution of clubs in stabilising the county finances. “I thank the clubs sincerely for their support of the club levy, thankfully 2017 will see a restructured levy.

“Never again should the county board borrow to pay for county board finances unless for development with agreement of the board.

I know what you mean Micko. It's laughable really. We're looking at the club debt of over 400,000 posted up in front of us every night we're up in the club and now as members we're being asked to contribute 312 euro each to reduce that debt and then you see what's happening with the senior team and the money being wasted.

For the life of me I cannot see why such a great hurler as Fergal needs to surround himself with so many lads,

Well in fairness to Fergal he knows that he himself is not a coach. But if I was paying for someone id just pay fir one person to be coach/manager. It's wrong that with the club in that much debt to even consider bringing upto 3 lads that are going to be paid. Some notions up there

County board needs to have a chat with itself. You clubs that have All Ireland Minor & U21 winning players conceding walkovers in the u21 championship, then the 2015 final being played in latter half of 2016.

I think Abbeyside did it a few years ago, u21 hurling as well
