Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

At underage they have all the turloughmore hurlers and some lads from castlegar backboning the teams but once they come to minor they seem to draft back towards the hurling.

HI,

Is there any known date when the new Galway gaa jersey will be available please?

Thanks,

Pa.

There would be very few "Annaghdown, Oranmore, Castlegar or Corofin" kids at underage level (there might be a few on the LGFA side depending on whether they have options in their own catchment area)- Carnmore and Turloughmore, as well as Claregalway village and environs are all part of the catchment area for the club. It's relatively big catchment area for the club and with between 250 and 500 houses planned for Claregalway Village in the next 5 years tis only bigger in the numbers the club will get.

There are a large proportion of kids in the teenage years playing multiple sports alright - which is only a good thing.

You say Limerick performance over the seventy years before '18 was about the same as Galways- It was actually worse but they had won five All Irelands in 23 Seasons from 1918 to '40, Five National Leagues in a row- a record unequalled, won 10 Munster titles from 1910 to 1940 and played in 8 Munster Finals in a row ('17 to'24 inclusive), so they have a solid tradition, something often ignored by people of a later generation.

Much praise has been lavished above on your goalkeeper Eanna Murphy, and most of it is well justified. However, with Limerick Midfield playing below par last Sunday he still insisted on lumping long and high balls that were taking all day to fall, into the LK goal area, when it was obvious that Finn, Casey, Hannon and Nash were all well in control stage. Variation in the puck outs might just have yielded better results.

I was talking about the secondary school, not the club.

Another poster had said the new school had a bearing on the fortunes of the club. I was simply pointing out that the new school was half full of players who would be ineligible to play for Claregalway. Read the thread and it would make sense.

Hard to believe how quiet it is on here with our biggest game in 20 years on sat . I know we were in semi final in 2018 but we were massive underdogs whereas sat is a 50 50 .. quietly confident we will get the job done if we don’t concede soft goals . I think we have forwards that can do damage if they get a supply . Anyway best of luck to both senior and minor team tomo as well.Gaillimh Abu !

not sure but it’s pretty much picking itself at this stage

has the sub keeper from barna ever played for galway … I can’t remember it

Snip

Fuppin tg4 player is acting up

His backing it up though

What. A. Performance. Gaillimh Abu.

Fabulous performance. Aside from the gaeilgeoirs obvious heroics, McGlinchey, Lonergan and Trayers (once the hurlers keep the mitts off) could definitely make seniors. Wonderful stuff. Legacy of actually winning all Ireland's definitely helps! Galway GAA's in a bright place
