Na Fianna looking? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 06/12/2018 14:19:06 2153503 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "Na Fianna looking?" Heard they were but not 100% sure , Summerhill definitely looking Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 328 - 06/12/2018 16:16:44 2153520 Link
Replying To Bear10: "Any news on the Summerhill or Na Fianna Jobs" Word has it that Colm O'Rourke is going to Summerhill, anybody else hear this ? gardentree (Meath) - Posts: 194 - 06/12/2018 16:22:37 2153522 Link
That would be a huge surprise and not sure if it would be a wise move as he is more of figure head than a coach. I think Declan McCabe will return to Summerhill as he is on the market for a job again. BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 07/12/2018 09:00:21 2153563 Link

Any word on managers in hurling clubs around county?? Is Troy staying with Kiltale, Cole staying with Trim or Greville staying with Kildalkey?? Redsalltheway (Meath) - Posts: 112 - 13/12/2018 18:20:01 2154231 Link
Replying To juicy: "Is there any teams still without a manger at this stage?" All clubs should have their managers in place by now ( especially senior ones) one would hope . I haven't heard of anyone not having one in place Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 328 - 14/12/2018 10:06:59 2154248 Link
I'm delighted with Davy's return. Brought us to the Junior championship and was well liked by the players during his time. Hopefully he's learned a thing or two from his time with Dublin, especially on how to deal with a blanket defence. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1198 - 14/12/2018 13:06:08 2154263 Link

Any word if Lar Wall is staying with Kells to help them retain the Feis Cup? ISupposeSoSheehan (Meath) - Posts: 85 - 19/12/2018 16:50:22 2154749 Link
Replying To Crinigan: "Hard to manage the unmanageables." What's the problem with Blackhall? They have some decent players and were a solid team for a long time. They have fantastic facilities as well. BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 20/12/2018 09:08:15 2154788 Link

The main problem with Blackhall is higher up in the club.players are not the main problem bobjaffacake (Meath) - Posts: 1398 - 20/12/2018 11:38:24 2154802 Link

Replying To bobjaffacake: "The main problem with Blackhall is higher up in the club.players are not the main problem" From what I understand and what I've heard from insiders, the biggest problem the club has is that its too big in terms of its catchment area - its about 12 km from one end to the other and so you have kids from one end of the club having to travel for 20 minutes in a car just to get to training in Batterstown and vice versa to Kilcloon. Some of the kids on Kilcloon side would live closer to Kilcock GAA, Maynooth GAA or Moynalvey GAA than they would to the Batterstown pitch. The kids growing up will go to school in towns ranging from Maynooth to Kilcock to Dunboyne to Trim to Coolmine even, meaning that its very difficult to create a team spirit as people and families don't really know eachother and there is no centre of interest creating a community feel and closeness you'd associate with a country club. They'd probably be better off going their separate ways and going back to Kilcloon and Batterstown as separate junior clubs at this stage - if the amalgamation isn't competing at senior level, whats the the point as apparently too many players and families step away from the club and don't remain attached to the club as they don't fully identify with it (even ones from well known families within the club are heavily involved now in rival clubs and don't remain with the club) - on both the Batterstown and Kilcloon side seemingly. On the management front, I can't comment other than to reflect what is common knowledge regarding egos and difficult players to manage once their golden generation of the early 00s had moved on. Maybe Blackhall posters would have a view? Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 926 - 20/12/2018 15:41:19 2154833 Link

I don't think I've ever seen such a waffling, long winded ,factually incorrect message on hoganstand southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 709 - 20/12/2018 16:31:11 2154839 Link
Replying To southmeathgael: "I don't think I've ever seen such a waffling, long winded ,factually incorrect message on hoganstand" Well I'm open to correction on any of the points I made. Maybe everything is rosy in the garden there and my info is wrong and it's a tight knit club, I'm not too bothered either way as they are not my club. I'd be amazed though if the kids growing up in all the new estates on the outskirts of Kilcock which are in Meath and therefore within BHG catchment area will travel the 16km to train in Batterstown though.
