ah most of them kilrossanty / kilmac lads wont hurl anyway, cant see it being too much of an advantage to ballydurn

doublejj

its not the point even if they get even 6/7 decent players puts rest at disadvantage esp at junior level,most teams struggling as it is

ManFromCheese

my point being, there isnt 6 or 7 decent junior hurlers between the whole lot, i know ballydurn have lost a good few themselves in the last few years with emmigration etc so these things balance themselves out. the junior cship in waterford is a joke anyway. junion, junior intermediate attached, junior senior attached, instead of having a proper junior a and junior b cship, with all teams intogether whether they are second string sides or not, a complete overhaul of junior and intermediate cship is needed in a big way

Eh any idea where? No need to be so mysterious!

Is there a published list of transfers and regrades available or are people just quoting rumours?

Ah there's a list in the Dungarvan observer today. Might be something in the News and Star or Munster Express too.

Full list of transfers on deiseabu.blogspot.ie Have Ballydurn and Newtown split just to accomodate the influx of players from neighbouring clubs.

Unusual to see such little movement in the city and so much amoung the rural clubs.

Also unusual that the Erin's Own kids are going to Gaultier for their football as they aren't fielding a team. Is it not customary that you go to the next club nearest to you? Gaultier would be about 10 miles away from any of the other city clubs...

culbaire666

I think they had to opt for gaultier due to the fact that they are only a football club so they can continue to hurl for erins own.

Fair enough. Didn't Erins Own and St.Saviour's play together at underage level a few years ago though?

culbaire666

Think your spot on there but I can't understand that if erins own are going to field in minor hurling surely the same bunch of lads could field in football.I wonder are roanmore in the same boat I heard they're not entering a Junior football team this year and that might explain why they've lost 7 players in the transfers.

hardybuck

Yeah you'd wonder alright. Obviously their lads aren't very committed if they won't tog out when asked. Or the club itself just isn't interested in football. Either one is poor.

Must be very frustrating for lads in the likes of Erins Own, Mount Sion and Roanmore. Didn't Roanmore win a minor a couple of years back - they must have had lads playing with the county team. While Mount Sion have contested a couple of junior finals, a club of their size should be intermediate at a minimum.

At least there is some interest in DLS but they should be doing an awful lot better. St Saviours in fairness put a good effort in with the resources they have available to them.

Big coup for Clonea to get Kieran Power from Kilrossanty. Was one of the best young hurlers for Colaiste na Deise and Waterford minors last year.

Good to see John Dee going back to his home club Portlaw aswell. That club has been cleaned out by the big city clubs over the years

any word on shane fives and fionan murrays transfer?

cleaboy boy

Shane Fives on his way to Carrigtwohill, Finan Murray wanted by a club in Limerick, he's studying in UL. Inter county transfers are allowed up to the end of Jan as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong??

Inter county transfers can take place at any time of the season.

This sort of $hit is the most annoying kind of post that exists. Just dont bother posting it imo.

Any news from Ardmore

Mountainlad

UCC won 3-18 to 1-23.

Shane Walsh scored 1-2, Brian O Halloran scored 0-3 as did Dean Twomey and two others, that's as much as I heard.

Cillian Fitzgerald and Richie Foley were the other two.

It was a typical first game of the year in Ardmore,lots of effort and honest endevour but you could see Waterford were a bit behind their opponents in the hurling stakes. there was 4x20 min sections played and a lot of players put on and taken off so it was really hard to read anything into fellas performances but Brick really stood out at centreback throughout. If there was one negative i suppose it would have to be the same problem as last year and our lack of goal scoring opportunities created but as i stated earlier it was only our first game so lets not be too critical. The team that started was:

Stephen O Keeffe
Barry Coughlan
Liam Lawlor
Noel Connors
Kevin Moran
Brick Walsh
Paudie Prendergast
Ritchie Foley
Dean Twomey
Gavin Crotty
Shane O Sullivan
Cillian Fitzgerald
Brian O Sullivan
Shane Walsh
Ray Barry

Others that saw game time were Jake Dillon,Jamie Barron,Brian O Halloran,Shane Fives(back on the panel)Seanie Barry,Iggy O Reagan,Donie Breathnach,Mark Wise and Shane Kearney.

Brian O Sullivan suffered a hand injury and came off early in the game but as for how bad the injury is i'm unsure.

i hate to say this but next few years we are in transition....looking at panel named for league we are going to struggle squad very young and need time...

I know, it will be hard to come to terms with his loss as he's a leader and the younger lads on the panel would definitely look up to him. Can't believe it myself i thought he would give it another year but my sources(whom are in the know)tell me its happening.

Has any reason been given why he is not giving it a go for another year. He is still our best forward. It cant be all family reasons as you still could make time for the county for 5 months as carriganore is very close to his home place. It will look very bad for the management team and for michael ryan in particular if our best forward is going to walk away from the county team. There must be something up.
