@briantwomey4 @SmallerFishGAA Few have underage all irelands with Tipperary.

@SmallerFishGAA How many actually get a game for Tipp?

Look how many Tipp club hurlers are involved with New York Throw in Johnny Glynn & Thomas Douglas (Waterford) These competitions are not supposed to be for tier 1 club hurlers And they get a bye to the semi final Wrong, wrong, wrong

@Mmu0122Michael @ExaminerSport There not only for college. Its from u13 to u19

@ExaminerSport Why are development squads only for college players and not grassroots players there are a lot of young players that don’t go to college and are over looked, look after all young players and give them the opportunity to play for their county college don’t make you a better playe

@iGaelicCoach In regards to the warmup s of the 4 counties what would they tell you about the way they play?

📍Gaelic Grounds 💥Physicality up close is through the roof,conditioning at inter county is insane. 🏃Interesting to see the varying approaches to the warm up from the 4 teams. ⏭️Championship will be fun in Munster

Our senior hurling coach Damien Ryan's 12yo son Adam needs a kidney transplant (O+ blood). Help by sharing their appeal to find a living donor via Beaumont Hospital. Every share counts . For more information see link on facebook #KidneyForAdam #DooraBarefield

All over In Trim Brilliant second half from the lads against the very strong wind to secure the first points of the League campaign

@HLTCO Mensch. Beyond the cones.

A question for my followers… If you could only recommend one football book for people to read, what would it be?

@tomsheenh @PlayerGaelic What's the core aim of juvenile sport?

@PlayerGaelic It's usually Top of the list, despite the fact that the core aim of the game is to win. I accept it does have a place at Go Game level but at U12/13 upwards its BS

Young players who don’t turn up for training; some reasons. Laziness Parents Lost interest No sense of belonging Entitlement Transport issues Happier at another sport Different friend group Training is poor Little game time No game time Empty promises about game time.

A look back 10yrs to an article by ⁦@LawlorDamian⁩ on the state of Kildare Hurling, they weren’t getting any gear, struggled to get a squad together & trained on bad pitches. Great to see how it has progressed with Galway coming to town next week independent.ie/sport/kildares…

@PlayerGaelic Not every player can, or want to play county. Along as they can play from juvenile up to an adult team within the club. That should be the main concern.

In the downtime between now and the New Year, let’s discuss some contentious issues. 1. It’s not a pathway if this player and 95% of his friends can’t access the next level. 2. For the 5% who do, there’s no guarantee that the coaching will be next level too.

Well done and fair play to Tooreen. What a club. Wishing them the very best of luck in the final. Imagine theyre playing in an all ireland final in a sport that a lot of pricks in our County Board think is irrelevant in this county....

@CahairOKane1 All three hurling finals should be on the same day, same with football
