Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Rathkeale always seemed a bit of a stupid choice for the centre of excellence in terms of geography. But a lot of money was put in there between the new stand, gym and the 3g pitch is being replaced soon as well. Will cost a lot to do it again in Crecora.

Something that would be very welcome is a few good centrally located pitches with stands for the club championships. The city has nothing like Rathkeale,Kilmallock or Doon. A roof and a bit of paving in Claughaun or something in this new Enda's pitch maybe.

What’s the story with Staker Wallace? Doesn’t look like it would take too much more for their facilities to obtain centre of excellence status but you don’t hear too much about it being used by county teams in recent years.

Would be good to have something in the South division given the overall strength of hurling in that division.

Definitely not a good option. No need to be asking players and parents to be driving to the middle of nowhere on dark shtty nights when you could build something just off a main road or in the city.

Any Patrickswell folks here? Can’t help but notice there’s no Patrickswell representation on either of the u17 or u20 panels. What way is the general health of Patrickswell underage hurling?

Am I after hearing correct in that the Limerck v Dublin match this weekend is not on tv, but is available on GaaGO but only OUTSIDE Ireland? I've checked the GaaGO website, and it makes no mention of it. TG4 just says Live Coverage of the hurling in 2 slots, followed by deferred coverage, but doesn't mention which games. Tis bad enough that you can't watch them on tv, but to only be available on GaaGO outside of Ireland is a joke. No doubt RTE were involved in making this deal too, tis so laughable, if true.

I always thought it was fair enough to have it on a service for outside Ireland only, but that was because we could watch them on local tv. Now I can't, and I don't have an option to pay someone else to watch it even if I wanted to (without having to feck about with VPNs). Not like they're the current league, Munster and All-Ireland champs. No, why would people want to watch them. Imagine if Sky decided to stop showing the (Googles last years premier league winners) Man City matches in the UK, but in Ireland people could still watch it... Madness and does nothing to encourage support of the GAA tbh.

Or maybe I'm remembering wrong, but these last couple of years seem like it's getting harder and harder to just watch the national sport on national tv. Vapid reality shows though? Can't have enough of them...

Looks like its on tg4 app and being showed deferred on TV.

Did anyone else go for the special train. How do the tickets work ?

Gonna be weird seeing them in Croke Park so early in the season.

Excited by the team selected.

Who’s that?

Swap Hegarty for Mul and the front line tomorrow would essentially be our back up 6. Not a bad situation to be in going into the championship.

Third game in a row for Reidy at 6 suggests it’s not a temporary measure and I reckon he’ll be used as an option in the half back and midfield positions going forward. That frees up a bit of room for the younger lads.

Kiely clearly looking for a ball playing understudy to Hannon at 6.
