Replying To SouthGalway:  "Best of Luck to Jason Flynn in his retirement from Galway Hurling. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put in Jason!"
Well said.
He tore it up for Tommy Larkins this year in fairness.
Always thought there was more in him at intercounty, but never quite broke out of his shell.

The best of luck to him and thanks for his service.

A moment in time or sign of things to come? No guarantee that this will translate to senior. TBD.

A dual club, they have muscled in on Claregalway & Salthill's dominance in underage football.
Beaten Athenry, Loughrea and Craughwell in the hurling finals..
This should be a good sign for Galway with a new force in the county.

Or is it a sign of rural depopulation and supercharged suburban superclubs? Both outlooks could probably be true.

Either way, well done to Oranmore Maree for their success and contribution to underage GAA in Galway. A truly incredible year.

Copied the list from a poster on football thread.

Amazing achievements. I believe they must have a great core of parents and coaching and participation. I hope it translates to Senior level soon. Best of luck to them.
