The Harty is a great competition. Delighted for all involved there. A win for the ages.

Great to see a small school beat the big spenders of CBC and Ard Scoil in 1 year.

Iā€™m sure a keen judge like @peddlerscross will see the correlation of the majority of the Tulla team playing senior and intermediate hurling and mainly standing out for their clubs last year.

If ASR had stole it Iā€™d say he would have had the ref in the boot of the car

Didnā€™t a poster insinuate here the other day that Clare had nothing coming? Impressive from Tulla

Clare have plenty coming

Their hurlers are poorly served by the county board

Local radio is a poor medium on which to judge a ref :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Money isnā€™t everything and it is only an issue when you donā€™t have itā€¦ā€¦but limerick spent the bones of a million euro on hurling teams outside of their senior set up. Clare spent 200k last year, hard to compete with that disparity, knowing a few lads in development squad coaching who would tell you that they would have more resources available to them when training their underage club teams. We donā€™t need to spend a million a year but the gap in terms of funding and resources will start closing soon enough.

But the worm doesnā€™t be long turning, there is already a qualified person who has asked to take on the COO position full time in a voluntary basis to get the new strategic plan off the ground and an outside backer is stumping up a good shot of the money for a CEO role as well.

Surprised to read Limerick spent a million euro on hurling teams outside of their Seniors? Where did you see this?

Presentation given by Terence Fahey last week, itā€™s up on YouTube

Yes, I saw it during the week.

He said Limerick spent ā‚¬1 million on preparing County teams and Clare spent ā‚¬200k.

He did not say Limerick spent ā‚¬1 million on Hurling teams outside of their Senior team, unless I am mistaken

Bit of detail here but doesnā€™t give an underage breakdown. The expenditure includes some of 2020 also, i.e. two All Irelands in Limerickā€™s case.

Munster counties spend ā‚¬5.4m preparing for 2021 GAA championships.

Limerick spent ā‚¬1.3 million in 2021 on all their County teams, Football and Hurling from U14 up to Senior.

Maybe it was 1 million v 200k including seniors so - it is still a huge gap whether seniors factored in or not which needs to be bridged by Clare over the next few years.

Clare spent 642k per that article, and training expenses for the seniors would have been a good bit less than Limerickā€™s presumably.

So youā€™re spouting rubbish, same as Terence Fahy was? Seeing as he quoted Clareā€™s spend on their hurlers only but gave Limerickā€™s total net spend (who knows what the 200k included actually because Terence gave no context)

Donā€™t let that affect your narrative though
