Challenge match yesterday. Waterford 2-24 Dublin 3-13
Dublin are playing some rake of challenge matches very early in the season. 5 this month?
Molumphy back on the panel for Waterford scored 0-3. Maurice chipped in with 1-12.
they’ll need them, first competitive game will be all ireland semi final in august
100 quid on cork anyway there
They should have stayed in division 1B.
last years relegation playoff and 1b final were the only games of note in the league, the rest was a joke, tippy tappy putrid hurling
I see Clare have challenge games set up against the big 3 of cork/limerick/dublin in april as well

Good to see the 1B teams establishing a clique and reasserting their dominance for the years to come.
Clare spent 917,000 on their inter county teams last year. Up from 630,000 the year before. No team by team breakdown was furnished which is reasonably unusual but with a back room team of 15 it is reasonable to assume that the bulk of this was spent on the senior hurlers. One might assume that an early championship exit this year might blow a hole in the county’s finances.
The fashion show should make them a fortune, they’ll be grand.
Have Waterford recovered financially from Davy’s reign?
Piece in paper at weekend mentioned 23 in Clare hurlers backroom team and about 185k was spent on footballers so approx €730k on the hurlers although probably spread across the 21s and minors as well.

€185k for the football? Micko must have come cheap so.
out of that would he have gotten 100-120k?

Things back on an even keel as regards current expenditure. Operating loss of 2k for last year, but accumulated losses of 500k from the Davy era.

To put the underage thing in context. Waterford won an All Ireland minor and played a record number of games to do so and spent 53k in total.
He should be ashamed of himself, as well as those who allowed it happen. I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, you absolutely do not need that many people involved in an Inter County team. That’s not coaching or managing.
Close to, a quick look shows Laois Senior Footballers cost 63K in 2013, so that would seem about right.
Incidentally Laois spent 623K on county teams in 2013, Clares spend of 917 for two All Ireland wins measures up rather nicely.

money buys success?
If it doesnt then whats the use in the likes of us having so much of it Mickee?
Of course it does. But in Clare’s case the money spent last season is not the important money. It’s the money they put into development and helping these lads progress and be well coached from a long way back.
If Cork ever actually get serious and put the money (thus the coaches and the development) into all of the county we would get ridiculously successful. Look what Dublin are producing now. Between 5 clubs in Dublin they have more full time coaches than all of Cork. Go figure.
