Gaa split season, promoting Meath football since 2025

Dion’s father Aengus Fanning was an Austin Stacks clubman who played minor championship football for Kerry. He might have featured in a few league matches for the Kerry seniors as well.

He must’ve been underwhelmed with the son who went completely down the nerdy Paddy Footix route. Did Dion play much GAA at all? He’s chairman of Dalkey United I believe but rarely if ever mentions Cuala.

He mentioned them on a recent podcast where he said Dalkey United had a very good relationship with Cuala.

4 players have already done acl’s in the kilkenny senior championship. Tommy Walsh and Harry shine, kilkenny panelists among them. That’s after 4 weeks in a row of the condensed season

The injuries in Waterford are piling up too.

Jake Morris and Ronan Maher are playing through injury at the minute and who knows at what cost long term.

We are hurtling towards professionalism where County players won’t be playing any club. Try explaining it to the split season zealots though :man_shrugging:

Young lads aren’t as fit as us

Most likely.

I see something like having two club championships in the future.

Inter county season and club season running from April to September.

You could have a second straight knock out club championship with inter county players involved and even allow lads who are based say in Dublin come back and play with their home clubs.

Lads need to be thinning more turnips - that’ll solve the injuries

FFS Waterford players don’t really play IC, they’ve no excuse

The condition of pitches is a big talking point in Waterford too. Walsh Park and Fraher Field got hardly any use in May, June and most of July. Both getting used around the clock now for last month to play off the county championship blitzes, with inevitable deterioration in surfaces and accumulation of injuries.
