Bredagh use council grounds so other clubs from Antrim already use it.

The Sliotar Weight - 2 Like(s)
A few things; the sliotar needs to be consistent, it needs to travel about 10 m less than it does now as I don't like the keeper pucking it out, a half forward grabbing it and straight over the bar-nothing massive just travel a bit less.

Rounders Titles Up For Grabs - 2 Like(s)

Replying To Trump2020:  "Has anyone ever watched this sport and if so would you recommend it or not?!? I heard about it as far back as the National School but to be honest I've never seen it played. I'd love to know how it compares to Cricket or Baseball. I love Baseball so I'd imagine I could relate to it."
My club, Carryduff, Co. Down, started Rounders this year on a non competitive basis. It is very similar to baseball with an underarm pitch. They use a baseball bat and a sliotar to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfcyYQKnlpI

Four Teams Representing Dublin Geographic Area! - 2 Like(s)
I would go for a Senior, Intermediate and Junior. Top 8 in Senior, middle 16 in Intermediate and the rest in junior. Leave Dublin as it is and if that's not competitive then amalgamate rather than split Dubin

Ulster Senior Club Championship - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Mugatay:  "Good pub / bar in Belfast? Hello people, I figure this is a good board to ask for recommendations for a night out in Belfast. Myself and another buck (late 30s/early 40s) heading to a gig in Ulster hall in Dec Fri 16th. We are staying out in west Belfast (andersonstown) Anywhere in or around these places that's got good Guinness and a bit of life around it ? And if there is still a bit left in the tank, is there a good night club or preferably a late bar with some guitar tunes? Míle buíochas"
Anywhere in and around the Cathedral Quarter, loads of pubs and walking distance from the Ulster hall. The harp Bar, The Duke of York, The Dirty Onion are all great around there. Elsewhere in town Whites is excellent as is Kelly's Cellers.

Changes to make Gaelic Football better - 1 Like(s)
Get rid of forward mark. No dead balls allowed to go backwards until inside the attacking 45 and then only within the 45. This will encourage players to look forward and it would transfer to open play, too many times the players just look backwards for a pass.

It's virtually impossible to be a doctor and an intercounty player. The time commitment to both just prevents it. Good luck to him, he is possibly the best half back in 30 years and hopefully we will see him back in the blue and blue soon

Talk is that inter county will be u19 and that if county move to U18 then no U18s will be able to play senior

The Next MAJOR Change In The GAA Will Be... - 1 Like(s)
What about playing the Railway cup semi finals on the Friday evening of All Ireland weekend in Parnell Park with the final as a curtain raiser for the final on the Sunday. Count the matches for All Stars. Obviously those in the final wouldn't be eligible and if Galway Hurlers are there then the Connaught Hurlers would be weak but imagine those hurlers from the west getting to play inter pro, what an honour for them and all those years playing in the Christy Ring, Lory Maker etc. Just a thought
