AIL 25/26

I've heard it's Peter Malone to Boh's, not Simon

no it’s Simon, I’ve heard through a friend that Nenagh are being sent on paid holiday to Tenerife 😂😂

This can't be true about Lee Nicholas? He's still playing? Are Matt brown and Neil Cronin still involved with Shannon, doubt they'd want to be taking direction from a player!

Who's Garryowens HC now?

is Mick Sherry staying in situ? Seemed to improve them quite a bit near tail end of the season. Heard that about Lee & Shannon. He must be retiring, coaches Crescent Comp and very highly regarded by all accounts

For someone who deals in facts, you are miles off the mark here.

He is new forwards coach with OC and will likely be captain for next season too.

James Cronin coaching Highfield next season

very odd re Mannion, who will take over there?

Understand Young Munster have recruited Connacht Academy players Harry West and John Divine along with Connacht A player Kelvin Langan from Garryowen. Dylan Hicks is moving back to Cork and is going to Highfield or Cork Con. A lot of business being done in Mid-West with transfer window closing in a few weeks. All quiet at Shannon, Old Cresc and Nenagh who are keeping things under the radar. Bohs have apparently signed outhalf Cian Casey from YM.

I've read somewhere (may even have been here) that Hicks was supposedly going to Nenagh as their 10 (Pope) is going back to NZ or Aus. Talks of Connacht sending some academy lads to Nenagh also.

I see Bective announced Ben Mannion as head coach again- is he doing both or has he already left Gorey? Very odd either way 😂

Been a while since posted anything in here (or online for that, a time out from Internet no bad thing let me tell you)

Congrats to Clontarf on a great year and league win and especially Nenagh @ormond lad

Also the few lads from Lansdowne here. Good bounce back season from you lads. You'll be there or thereabouts next year

Obviously Carlos the big news. Interesting but feels like we will spend alot of money

On transfers. I'm sure somethings already said

But Jim White and Mikey O'Reilly from Terenure to UCD. Harrison Brewer coming back.

We are looking for a new 9. Alan Bennie gone

Alan Spicer going to Clontarf. Told Wanderers bringing a good few bodies in. Tom Daly to Lansdowne

No idea on Bennie, just that we are looking for a 9. Tried to get Oliver Coffey but he is staying in Blackrock

Bennie will be a loss but comes with a lot of baggage, Coffey would have been a great signing for Terenure, can’t imagine they will see much of Fintan Gunne. Is Chris Connor’s still there, a lot of hype around him this year, he could be the long term option for them. Heard Tom Daly to Lansdowne, Spicer to Tarf, Sparrow to Mary s (UCD losing a lot). Belvo trying very hard to get the Michael’s senior Cup players, would be a good move with Belvedere school falling behind quite a bit. Bernard Jackman taking up a role with Navan? Anyone know what’s going on there?

News in Limerick is that Keith Earls will be lining out with Thomond in 2C next season. Should attract good gate receipts at home games
