Let the game go ahead and bring out the snow ploughes with maybe blow heaters. It's about time the gpa, cpa and gaa stand up against climate change and the beast from the east. Surly joe canning can play in a foot of snow with frost bite to keep April free. We don't really need a great county championship as the club fair will compete with the guys grand slam tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 18/03/2018 21:32:21 2085553 Link 0 |

For someone who comes on here and pontificates and presents opinions as fact you sure are out of touch with whats going on with the younger generation of gaa players! Who do you thing will be on these county teams if more and more players start turning away from their clubs?

I feel bad for clubs who have to put back matches but it was nobody's fault in fairness - freak weather for this time of year. Couldn't have been predicted Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 19/03/2018 10:06:17 2085667 Link 0 |

How do you reckon the problem created by the snow can be solved. We all know what the problem is, it's solutons we're looking for.

Lads theres no guarantees we will get to a league final which will hinder club games in April. Lets deal with whats in front of us first and thats beating galway at home not in thurles or anywhere else. We only had 2 home games this year and im sure the county board needs cash from these hurling matches to keep things a float. Last year they got very very little money from the football side of things (thats not a shot at the footballers). The game needs to be in wexford for reasons on and off the field. Coming from a guy who hurled in a football club there was little to no hurling training done when there was no championship matches on the horizon due to county fixtures. I dont blame the county team i blame the club for this. The hurlers in the club only wanted to hurl. The championship being put in hold wasnt the problem. All the club had to do was have us train away and get us competitive practice matches to keep us hurling and interested. Theres a lot of blame going towards the county fixtures for this lack of interest people talk about with young lads. The clubs need to do more to keep guys involved. If lads want to hurl then facilitate it and stop blaming county fixtures and a hold up in the championship for guys dropping out etc. Wexboi92 (Wexford) - Posts: 74 - 19/03/2018 18:06:52 2085922 Link 0 |

Not wanting to bring barrack sports into it but rugby does have a good solution to this problem. When the autumn internationals and 6 nations are on leinster munster ulster and connaught still play their fixtures. In fact the provinces have to give rest days to the international lads even when there are no internationals in the interest of player welfare. This also means more lads get to play interprovincial and therefore get to improve. And the national rugby team has got better which surely has benefitted the provinces and rugby in general as more young lads take up the sport. Other counties run off club championship games when the county team is still involved in the latter stages of the championship. Y cant our clubs do the same in the interest of the players and the county, and consequently, themselves? A successful county team will only encourage young sportsmen and women to take up, or stick with, hurling. Which will surely benefit the clubs, especially those who are struggling to put 15 out on a pitch. The hurling fraternity in the county need to pull together and realise that a successful county team can only be good for the grassroots.

a successful county team will encourage pick up of the game,but will still continue to lose players left right and centre if we cannot guarantee them a fixture list which allow them to have a life beyond the game. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 20/03/2018 09:59:15 2086121 Link 0 |

Unfortunately Viking66 you are not comparing like with like. Yes, I can see the merits in your post, but you are talking about a totally different structure. Irish Inter Pro and international rugby players are contracted to the IRFU. In essence, the IRFU can dictate when or where these players play. In fact, the GAA structure is the complete opposite. Club managers want their players for championship, inter county managers want the same players in the county setup, and most of these players are also in demand (some of them on scholarship) with their college/university. yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 20/03/2018 10:13:04 2086132 Link 0 |

the main similarity with the irfu is clubs morale is at an all time low perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 20/03/2018 11:50:02 2086189 Link 0 |

Agree with Daly about peno shoot outs preferable to 65 contest. Another variable is that a windy day could ruin it. Imagine a day like there was in Wexford Park last year with a gale blowing vs Kilkenny. Total lottery Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 20/03/2018 14:53:56 2086265 Link 0 |
