The Drom lotto jackpot was won last night actually!
Itâs also a long game trip for both teams.
I hope whoever won it is funding the trip to the match against Knockane
âŹ10,700 would get a good day out!
that would get the team there all right , They might have to find their own way back
Are Feenagh not going mad? They are after getting a way tougher draw. Shafted.
That would be the reason I would have presumed the two teams would prefer to play the final midweek, to prevent being fucked over with the draw. I donât know if itâs that much tougher though? I know Doon won the East but I wouldâve thought theyâre fairly evenly matched.
Iâd say Feenagh would fancy their chances against Doon but theyâd surely prefer to be playing Caherline all being equal. You have to beat them all I know, but no harm to let others do the heavy lifting for you if you can get a winnable QF.
Doon have a strong A side this year when you look at the names not involved with the Seniors
Who do they have?
George Allis? Mike Fitz?
Has Niall Maher played senior this year? I know he picked up a nasty injury few months back but he was togged out v Na Piarsaigh. Mike Fitzgerald, George Allis and Niall Maher would be a fair addition at Junior A level. MicheĂĄl Ryan Simon?? Davy Stapleton. You wouldnât know what theyâd have, Iâd prefer to be meeting Caherline
George Allis has played senior this year, MikeFitz has given up hurling and I believe that Mike McKenna had a bad ankle injury in the East final. On the + side Niall Maher made his comeback and will be a huge plus. Davy Stapleton only good for causing controversy:
Limerick GAA community in shock at sudden death of Tom Moranâs son:
28th September 2017
By Limerick Leader
THE death has taken place of Sean Moran, the son of one of Limerickâs best known businessmen Tom Moran and his wife, Sheila.
Sean, who was in his early 30s, died suddenly on Sunday while on holiday in Marbella, Spain.
A close friend of the family this Wednesday explained that Sean had gone for a rest but was later found dead. Sudden Adult Death Syndrome is believed to be the cause.
Members of the Moran family are now in Spain, waiting to have Seanâs remains released. No funeral arrangements have yet been made.
Oliver Mann, the chairman of the Limerick GAA County Board, has sympathised with the Moran family in their loss and grief.
âWe pass on our sympathy to the Moran family,â he said at a meeting on Tuesday night.
âTom hadnât been great health himself but he made it to the Gaelic Grounds for the Munster U-21 final and he made it to Thurles for the All Ireland. While his health has been poor, he was in great form but I am sure this is a huge upset to him.â
Tom Moran is a native of Athea and began his hugely successful business career there at the Top of the Town bar. He is best known for the landmark Red Cow Hotel in Dublin and is a long time supporter and former sponsor of the Limerick hurling and football GAA teams.
Last year, Tom himself was placed in an induced coma following head injuries received as a result of a fall some days after attending a wedding in Puerto Banus. But he made a strong recovery and his Limerick and GAA friends were happy to see him back in Semple Stadium, Thurles earlier this month to see Limerick win the Under-21 All Ireland hurling title.
Ah thatâs awful.
Oliver Mann, Donal Morrissey, Eamonn Phelan and Seamus McNamara all have to step down from their current roles with the County Board due to the 5-year rule.
Full list of nominations has to be in by October 17th.
