For Treatystones to enjoy

Well done to the team that was entered into the A competition, then decided to bring another club in with them and drop down to waltz through B.

I suppose they felt it was important for Choke/Kilfinny to eventually win a final.

Yes important to win a final. Didnā€™t ballysteen & Askeaton amalgamate a few years ago?

They hardly celebrated this did they?

Same parish.
Thereā€™s absolutely no issue with amalgamations. Itā€™s the grading of this particular one that was very odd.

They beat Tournafulla/Killeedy/Monagea in the semi final. B Grade.

How long untill we the first adult amalgamation, griffins & Glin were close to it this year but a few stalwarts rejected it.
Seems only a matter of time for lots of rural clubs

It would depend on your motivation for an amalgamation. The majority of rural clubs require it at underage but most would have adequate adult number still. I wouldnā€™t be in favour of rural clubs to amalgamate to make them better on the field.

You wouldnā€™t have been in favour of the K/P amalgamation so?

@Gary_Birtles_Lovechi is probably still on the Monday Club, trying to dance in some west Limerick public house and see off those pesky fun killing bouncers.

Donā€™t know the particulars of that but there is historic links in K/P situation. I would be in favour of there being as many clubs as possible and if that requires three four five teams playing together at underage than so be it!

Congratulations to The Dow on his new son, Tommy.

Another award for the gaffer.

2023 Munster GAA Manager of the Year ā€“ John Kiely:

John Kielyā€™s prowess as a hurling manager first came to light when he led Limerick to Munster and All-Ireland Under 21 honours in 2015. Prior to that he had guided an unheralded Limerick team to the threshold of Munster Intermediate honours in 2011.

On joining John Allenā€™s backroom, he was an integral cog in the management team that guided Limerick to Munster Senior Hurling honours in 2013.

John Kiely does not follow standards, he sets them and that has been borne out since his appointment as Limerick Senior Hurling Manager in 2017. Long suffering and success starved Limerick supporters could not have imagined the impact he was to make on the hurling landscape and how his leadership would lift the morale of a county despairing that hurlingā€™s most precious silverware, the Liam MacCarthy, would ever return to Shannonside.

His record is unapparelled as a Senior Intercounty Manager, five All-Ireland finals, five Munster finals and three Allianz Hurling League finals without tasting defeat.

A natural leader, fame rests lightly on the Galbally nativeā€™s shoulders who is ever ready to spread around the credit for Limerickā€™s great odyssey to others.

John Kiely is very worthy recipient of the Manager of the Year accolade.
