Conor Shaw was the only Brownstown man playing? Kevin Regan did well for a Junior B hurler lol.

A lot of discussion about naming players for junior etc. I would say most/all clubs need to be honest on this especially the Intermediate/Junior clubs. The amount of skullduggery that goes on naming lads that are two years in OZ or the states etc has always gone on. Any lad who ever played in the Intermediate grade and also the junior for the last number of years would tell you that the two junior B finalist's this year have always been able to put out virtually the same teams in both grades for years without any issue. The reason one of them can do it is obvious and well known and the other club chance their arm every year with a list and throw a hissy fit citing trying to develop hurling on the outskirts of a town and are let go. There used to be rows about it but most other clubs in the grade just take it for granted now ,one of them clubs in particular just have to see who wants to play junior and tog them, naming a guy from a neighbouring football club who never played hurling instead, again they have slightly different rules.

It's a tricky balance between targeting those who are deliberately misleading and those who are struggling to field. One solution would be to review the named players to see how many played and at what level during the previous 12 months. If a club throws a bunch of names down who are not in the country or haven't played in years then it should be obvious

I thought there was a rule that for a player to be named, he had to have played championship at the relevant grade in the previous season ? BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 606 - 20/12/2018 18:22:00 2154851 Link 0 0 |

A reasonable start to 2019, an eleven point win over our neighbours who I thought were poor. Jogger was much better than last year and with the likes Clarke, McNicholas,Egerton Cormac Boyle, Varley and Paul Greville to come back competition for places should be good. Another final to look forward to next week jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 570 - 13/01/2019 18:40:37 2156918 Link 1 0 |
I think Jogger should be moved up the pitch. manfromdelmonte (UK) - Posts: 530 - 14/01/2019 11:36:23 2157028 Link 0 0 |
Another great win! This will surely go down as the greatest weekend of all time in Westmeath GAA history. JohnyDuncan (UK) - Posts: 79 - 19/01/2019 16:40:14 2158237 Link 0 0 |
Great weekend for winning trophies no doubt.Didnt make hurling today but supporters at match thought performance was mixed with improvement needed if division 1 is to be reached. Nevertheless a special weekend.

Was at the game and agree it was a mixed performance. Aenghus Clarke made a big difference when introduced at centre back, as we were struggling in the half back line. We got some great scores when on top in the game and should've score more goals, but Antrim exposed our defence at times also. However, the panel is stronger now than at the start of the year, unfortunately some lads that were training since November are gonna get the chop as stronger players come back.

We need to get off to a good winning start as the trip to Tralee will be dangerous after Kerrys big win over Antrim.
