Just seen the new top, Niall McGarry leaked it. Looks decent, kind of a throwback to the old tops with a lighter green.

Fairly cheeky of McGarry to leak it prior. Certainly been living up to his reputation recently

It's all about the self promotion for Niall it seems

Did they ever take him up on his offer to fund a sales manager

All clubs are equal, but some clubs are more equal than others

Wonder why they were excluded. The terms of the donation seemed pretty straightforward.

Don't know anyone in either club, but I'm assuming its "financial issues".

I would assume it's because they don't have senior teams.

So, does that mean they are not a gaa club then

I wonder do the handball clubs get some, they are "gaa clubs".

Dont think it matters if they are senior or not. Once they are a registered club, then they should be included.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that must be what the county board were thinking. Pulling a stroke as usual.

Did they seriously think the 2 clubs in question would just say "well ok, that's alright then" when told they were getting no money? Given the highly publicized nature of the donation, the odds of their not saying anything wouldn't be great. Is it possible that they owe the Co Board money & their allotted slice of the pie is being withheld as a result?

The Mayo GAA scene this year has been a farce.

Roll on 2019 I'd imagine for most supporters.

yop

Jeebus we are worse than Eastenders at this stage!
What clown decided to not give them the money! Considering JP is so linked with hurling!!!

As for Mr MCGarry! He really does want it to be all about him.

I doubt it as in Clare the affiliated "GAA Handball" clubs weren't given any.

Davys Fits

If this is what Mayo are doing with JP's money then he should have given it to hurling clubs only. He is a huge hurling fan Im sure he wont be too happy with this snub by a bunch of loosers that love the headlines no matter what.

Ah Davy, that's a bit harsh now. Come on.

Could it be that they don't have senior teams?

I just don’t understand why they would be excluded. I mean, for the other 48 clubs it’s only a difference of €80 but for those 2 clubs it is a difference of €2000.

Greed? Sure it wasn’t as if the county board kept their share for themselves.

No. They just ensured the hurlers didn't get their share.

They were not affiliated GAA clubs

Are they an amalgamation of affiliated clubs?
But do they not compete at underage levels up to U21 or am I missing something so they would be affiliated in order to play.

Dont know the details. But as far as i am aware there are 48 registered/affiliated clubs in Mayo only. Im open to correction

Which is fair enough. Do people SERIOUSLY think the county board randomly picked out 2 hurling clubs to shaft
Come of it

I think they could SERIOUSLY have explained it clearly to everyone instead of just saying "no comment"

This is what Ballyvary stated earlier on their FB page:

******************************
Without speculating any further as to the “Why” we will allow the Mayo County Board the opportunity to explain their decision making process on the matter.
What we can confirm is that there are 50 GAA Clubs listed on the Mayo GAA Website. 48 of those clubs were notified on Thursday September 27th last that they would each be receiving a sum of €2083.34, an equal division of the €100,000 donation from JP McManus to be paid by EFT in the coming week. The two clubs listed on the Mayo GAA website that the Mayo County Board did not allocate any of the funding to were Ballyvary Hurling Club and Caiseal Gaels. Both clubs are hurling clubs directly involved with the promotion of Gaelic games at an underage level in Mayo, participated in County Board ran competitions in 2018 up to U21 level and were host clubs for the national Feile na nGael competition held in Connacht in June this year.

******************************

So maybe they didnt get anything because they don't field adult teams? Still seems wrong & against the spirit of the donation.

Anyway..... I managed to get to the junior final yesterday, Balla were convincing winners with Achill's goal coming very late in the game.
1-12 to 1-7 final score.

Matthew Flanagan lined out in goal for Balla and to be honest I didn't see a whole lot from him that would convince me he's ready to step into David Clarke's shoes any time soon.
His kicking is ordinary enough and his shots at goal were consistently terrible.
He also looks very light for inter county level.

Jury is very much out as far as I'm concerned...

To be fair to him, he didn't exactly have a lot to do on Sunday. The 45's he took in the first half were against the breeze, granted they weren't good. You have to remember he's only 22/23, which is young for a keeper.

Balla have a very young team and have a great chance of breaking into Senior in the next couple of years.

I'd say give him a few years yet - he's a good shot stopper, his kicking can seem a bit wayward but I'd put it ahead of Clarke's (I know, I know, I can't ever say that as it won't suit narratives).
He's played in the forwards too so he gets what the outfield player needs from the kickouts. Its not just a case of belt it as far as you can away from the goals anymore.

Spillane is right. If the All Ireland finals were kept to their traditional dates we wouldn't hear about Mayo ladies school yard squabbles

Yeah, they should be ok at intermediate.
They're one of those clubs who don't really belong at junior level once they have their house reasonably in order.
Decent bunch of young players there that I would expect to be competitive at provincial level.

Nice to see him back, super guy and a super player. McDonald is involved with the U16 development squad afaik

So it's down to the last four.

Looking forward to Saturday night.

Hard to call Breaffy Ballaghaderreen.Breaffy were very disappointing against Westport.


Mitchel's Ballintubber should be competitive but it's really hard to see past a relatively comfortable win for the Mitchel's.

If the reports are true hoping our mercurial genius Ciaran Mc can contribute richly to bringing the squad forward.

Carnacon appeal is next Tuesday but as they have 2 senior championship matches this weekend the club will bring a high court order against Mayo lgfa if these matches go ahead.

Not much thought into player welfare now.

Poison club. I had supported them but by the day they are showing themselves up more and more.
Probably protest now at matches soon if don't get their way.

Fr Tod Umptious

What is the general perception of all this in Carnacon itself?

Did anyone go into Hughes and ask Kevin what he thinks ?

What do they make of it in Tuffy's ?

Are they all behind their girls or are they throwing their eyes up to heaven and like is all wondering "What the f##k"

Disgrace of a club. Like the bully who’s used to getting own way but can’t take it when someone stands up to them then

I always thought he would be one to stay away from such a high profile gig tbh. Didn't think he'd want to be involved in something that would bring the kind of attention this is going to bring. James Horan must be a persuasive person.
