Or are there some Irish schools where other sports such as soccer or rugby are played more? Did most GAA players also play soccer or rugby in school? Did other Irish athletes also play Hurling or Gaelic football in school?

This just crossed my mind and I thought it would be a good idea but I'm willing to hear other opinions aswell

Just listened to him on The GAA Social. Powerful stuff! What an inspiring man!

Really recommend listening to it when you get the chance. Really puts things into perspective.

Respect.

Ulster Senior Club Football Championship Preliminary Round

Errigal Ciarán (Tyrone) v St. Eunan's (Donegal) - 7:15PM (RTE 2)

Sixty years ago: a headed goal at Croke Park and the first appearance of a Dublin icon – The Irish Times For anyone near a library you should be able to read this. Interestingly enough Seamus Aldridge was referee the day of that headed goal.

I was looking to buy a club jersey on o’Neil’s as they have a sale on club jerseys just looking for some recommendations

Hi all, so my current club is a predominant hurling club. However we had a junior A football team last year but decided to pull out after league due to hurling commitments (we do this every year). Personally I prefer football and would like to say I am better at it. During underage I played with a neighbour football club as we had no underage teams. I am just wondering for the forthcoming season would any one know if I would have to transfer to that neighbouring club if we do not have a football team or would I have free will to register with them. Or if we do have a football team would I have to put in a transfer to join said team? Thanks

Hi everyone,

Firstly, apologies if this post goes against any rules, please remove if so.

Some of you may have heard of my sports page or even follow it, Just GAA Things. I solely run the page on my own with over 100,000 followers across platforms. I have been inactive the last year due to lack of time and family commitments. Recently I’ve been wanting to come back to it bigger and better than ever, but to do that, I need help from like minded, GAA enthusiasts!

I am currently looking to for social media admins and content creators to help the run the page with me covering a wide range of GAA related topics, from serious stuff like match analysis’, fixtures and results, tables etc to more entertaining and relatable content as well.

Would need a slight bit of experience or knowledge creating posts through certain apps but training will be provided and will have access to our canva account with all templates needed.

If anyone is interested, please shoot me a message over on @justgaathings on insta or email me a justgaathings@gmail.com

We will also be looking for journalists for a site we will be hopefully launching in the new year. If you know anyone who may be interested feel free to pass on the info!

Results on the day have dampened this down a bit. Penalty shootouts have their drama, but the prospect of another day out is great. Coming out of a stadium after a drawn match always had a sense of anti-climax and a muted crowd. One day where the crowd was buzzing after a draw stands out in my mind. Dublin v Tyrone in 2005. It will be remembered for the Owen Mulligan goal, but it was a great match. Coming out of Croke Park that day, the buzz in the crowd was special. We had seen a great match, one of the best goals ever and there was a replay to look forward to. The Dublin v Meath draws in 1991 were special too, as the saga continued. What are your memories of great draws?

Does anybody know how the transition from minor to senior goes. Is it a trial system like u21s and u16-minor or are u just randomly put on any team, Relatively big club with over 10 adult teams so

What a player, what a career. A county stalwarth for 16 seasons.

2-16 from play from Midfield, each of the points would likely make any players lifetime highlight reel.

Won't make up for missing his AI medal but at 35, he's not finished yet.

What do we think?

I’ve been on the O’Neills website and I’ve seen that all the Limerick GAA jerseys are unable to be personalised but then i go onto the Antrim GAA page just to test and their able to be personalised. Is there an issue or has it always been like this?

It’s November, the league starts in January and we are still without a manager. “Allegedly” the players have taken it upon themselves to start training again - managerless . What a lack of respect shown from the county board to a group of players who brought us back to back Ulster titles, 4 All Stars in 2023 and a Division One title in 2024. Is the county board not in any way embarrassed by this?

Is it any bit possible to get a number on a jersey after it’s been produced? I have a limerick jersey sitting around and it looks bare as bones without a number

Not official yet and there could still be changes, but this time last year I saw Armagh league fixtures released and they proved to be true.

Some exciting fixtures in there of course. Bringing the Dubs up to Armagh for the first time in what seems like an eternity will be special. And accompanied by Galway & Kerry away, it's gonna be an exciting campaign! 🤩

Howdy. I’m looking to do some research on community pitch maintenance around the country. If anyone is/knows a groundskeeper could they put me in touch? I have some tech funded to giveaway as part of the pilot/research.

Thanks!

How did Niall Morgan of all the keepers get an all star?

Tyrone barely stayed up in the league

Knocked out of the All-Ireland in the Prelims

did he just get in for winning the railway cup or something?

cuz surely Blaine Hughes or even Shane Ryan would have been more deserving of it.

Going to Sydney soon and wondering what’s the best way to bring two or three hurls over. I’m going with Qatar airways and it’s 70 euro for 5kg extra baggage!!

Is it worth getting them shipped over? What have others done?

Want to order something to an address in Ireland that’s only available on the Irish oneils site. But whenever I log on outside of Ireland, it redirects to the country local site which doesn’t have that merch (GAA Clubs). Any workarounds that anyone knows of?
