Are you a member of a club that could bring it forward for you?

Maybe a set-up like this (similiar to Cork)

Premier Senior (Ballygunnar, DLS, Mt.Sion, Dungarvan, Lismore, Passage, Abbeyside, Tallow)
Senior A (Roanmore, Clonea, Fourmilewater, Ballyduff, Ballygunnar B, Ballysaggart, Ardmore, Clashmore)
Premier intermediate (8 Teams west and east)
Intermediate (8 Teams west and east)
Junior A (8 Teams west and east)

Etc etc,

Two groups of four....
Outside of senior it would make for some games and great championships, thereby increasing standards

That's makes too much sense for our CB

social media ha.

This was a no brainer about 15 years ago. Our board usually wait until things descend into a complete farce before discussing any type of change so expect it to be raised sometime in the next year or two

Footballers drawn against limerick in Munster championship next year. Winners play winners of Clare/tipp in a semi final

Stephan Frampton on the committee to pick the new manager and is now a selector. Some buzz, when he finished interviewing Cahill for the job did he ask for an interview to be his new selector??

You are some man to talk about problems without coming with solutions. In regards Moran , there is definitely not 14 better hurlers than him in the county regardless of whether or not he has lost a step or not.

And there lies the problem .if you honestly
Believe that then you have some crazy idea on what makes an intercounty hurler .

Good Man Fraa, the only man to be involved in picking a county Manager three times in a row and the only man to allow himself be a selector having picked a County Manager.

Stephen Frampton 3 Peter Queally 0

Dan Shanahan not happy by all accounts.

Not as many hiding places here though as last years lads found out. Can't be all things to all people with the eyes of the county on you.

Only in Waterford.

What player is gone for 2020?

I heard Noelie Connors has "fallen off" the panel

Hopefully we'll have a new S&C coach. We were second to every ball last year. You could put some of that down to effort but were definitely miles behind in terms of fitness levels. Some of our lads have looked like they've been doing way too much gym work too and yet were yards behind. The balance to me seemed off.

I think the S&C staff should have put a bit more effort in theselves, done the training and put the effort in on behalf of the players.

The team might have cleaned up then.

Stephen Bennett seemingly going traveling, how true? Who knows. Who cares either way, if he does good luck to him.

For what it’s worth we have an excellent mgmt set up & selectors.

There seems to be a lot of sour grapes and bruised egos around the place too, some ex players seem to think they have a divine right to be involved. Some lads been on more tickets then The Rolling Stones over last few years & it’s the same names and egos.

It’s a funny one with Fra being on panel & also have been part of backroom team, ultimately he is a selector, not the mgr, he will add value, like a slice of lemon in your gin and tonic.... but that’s it. Someone will probably blame Derek for this too, as well as global warming.

I don’t think there is not anything sinister in it. I’m sure Cahill has the final say who is in or out.

Everyone should stop throwing stones now and let the lads get on with the dam thing. We are bottom of the pile and there’s a mountain of work to do.

Next priority is when is Walsh park starting? Paddy joe and pat Flynn said the diggers be rolling in after the limerick game, so I’m assuming it will be after county final Sunday & we will have our new shiny stadium built and ready to rock for 2020 for 4.8m as was sold to us and promised 18 months ago.
