They are playing WIT again in advance of this, think it’s this week

Would be the exact same as this year with small forwards getting blown away physically once the real hurling starts, that half forward would not win one puck out come championship, there's about 9 small light forwards on the panel and those types of players are almost redundant in the modern intercounty game, we'd be as well off I'd we dropped about 7 of them because though they're all good hurlers, they all offer the same thing,
Why don't we at least try a few big lads, Shane Ahearne, Cormac Curran, JP Lucey, etc, did any ofthem ever even get a chance?

how come Tomas / WLR have this ahead of clubs?

Getting the propaganda out!!

Damned if they do and damned if they don't!!

Maybe - but I do think clubs and club members should have the final accounts before local radio....

Some were posted out by all accounts but in this day and age an email to club officers shouldn’t be beyond the realms of capability.

A very straightforward, and professional, thing to do would be to email each club PRO in advance of the Press Release being issued, and advise what time it is due for release.

Have club delegates been briefed on the accounts prior to issue?

received in post today

Hoganstand actually haven't a clue, Convention is Thursday night and they're reporting Trish Walsh as Paddy-Joe's replacement.

Trish has taken over the Western Board chairperson role and best of luck to her! A great volunteer in Waterford Gaa in fairness to her.

I’m not liking the shoulders but will get it anyway. Probably my least favourite design for a long while. Hopefully it’ll bring back good memories of wins in years to come!

Who are the three hurlers? Conor Gleeson, Prunty? and ?
God be with the days before helmets were compulsory and the players were instantly recognisable.

Conor Murray senior football captain from Rathgormack and Aaron Beresford football goalkeeper from Ballinacourty, seen Kieran Bennett in another pic as well

Awful, another cheap looking training jersey. When are we going to cut this Azzurri crowd loose.

I can't see it happening anytime soon. I don't know how many work in Azzurri in Waterford but it is felt that if Waterford GAA left them, the factory would close and there could be a potential backlash towards Waterford GAA for not supporting the local economy.
Is Pat Flynn an employee of Azzurri or am I imagining that? Obviously he would be on a career break or something to take the county secretary role

It's amazing that county boards continue to follow the rule which requires jerseys to be manufactured in Ireland. I wonder would it stand up in court legally.

Kerry have pushed it close to the edge a few times, and Dublin were supposedly considering offers from international sports clothing manufacturers a couple of years back. Apparently they were even considering having the team kit made by a third party in Ireland, and replications made overseas, but as O'Neills have a base in Dublin they stayed local.

While it's admirable to support local employment in this case, I'd be very curious to know how the deal stands up commercially. It's notable that a lot of counties broke from O'Neills a few years back, Azzuri got most of them, and one by one they've all gone back to O'Neills except Waterford. One would hope that Waterford and Azzurri are both getting a fair deal, but you'd imagine that Waterford would benefit from extra sales if they went with another supplier.

Brexit is expected to have a definite impact on the GAA for a lot of obvious reasons. One of the less obvious reasons is that the bulk of O'Neills staff, who supply most of the association's gear, are based in Northern Ireland.

Jesus lads this thread has hit a new low.

Ye’d rather Waterford gaa having a more aesthetically pleasing Jersey even if it means the ten or so people working for azzuri in kilcohan lose their jobs?

Fair play to the county board for sticking with them.
