Limerick GAA - it's Box Office - Always Has Been, Always Will Be

Ooooooooofffftttt.
A serious slap down to Gerald Griffins.

I think the “international womens rugby tournament” is a tag rugby event. :grinning:

There’s another bit been added to that statement:

Limerick Ladies Gaelic Football board would like to clarify and provide context to the Junior final fixture which has been fixed for next Saturday Sept 16th at 9 am. At the August county board meeting, Groody Gaels notified all clubs that due to clash with an international women’s rugby tournament, Groody Gaels would request a new date for the junior final, should Groody Gaels reach the final. Every possible alternative date was suggested by Limerick Ladies Football board during protracted discussions at the September county board meeting, but Gerald Griffins could not accommodate any of several suggested new dates, between Sept 10th and Dec 31st - citing player availability. The county board were left with no option but to hold the final on Sept 16th. In light of this, and to give both teams the best opportunity to field at full strength, the final has been fixed for 9 am on Saturday Sept 16th.
However, as the winners do not proceed into the Munster Championship, there is no urgency in getting the fixture completed, Limerick Ladies football Board would still welcome a new date being agreed between both clubs that would allow for the throw in to take place at a more suitable time.

Gerald Griffins obviously acting the cunts :sweat_smile: No date between now and the end of the year suits them. Be some session if they had a county final in the bag at 10.30 on a Saturday morning :flushed:

Holding a county final at 9 am to facilitate a tag rugby conpetition. Fucking unreal.

I presume the county board are worried Groody won’t turn up if it clashes, and GG are insisting on it going ahead on the 16th as that was the date originally agreed. Tough position for them.
There’s a bit more about it elsewhere, Gerald G wanted a semi final changed last year to facilitate their star Dymphna O’Brien playing some important soccer match. The county board said all fixtures were set in stone and could not be moved. They then rang Gerald G on Tuesday night this week asking them to move the final and were basically told to go fuck themselves, we are sticking to the date agreed.
You can see Gerald G point, but two wrongs don’t make a right and no ones a winner here. Gerald G are the ones pushing this story out to the media giving out about it, yet wouldn’t facilitate a change either. Classic women. :grinning:

The chairman of the county board is from? You guessed it Groody Gaels.
But yeah Gerald Griffins not been able to facilitate another date is acting the bollix

Who are Groody Gaels anyway? Are they just a womens team? Never heard of them before now.

Monaleen and St Pats

Ladies Football Only. Based in St Patricks but draw from the city in general as there is no other club except them between Monaleen and Mungret.
In fairness the chairman is sound from what I know of him but 9am is a joke. They played Junior, Inter and senior finals outside in the Gaelic Grounds last year. I don’t know why they shouldn’t do this again this year.

And why the fuck is it in Knockainey of all places :grinning:

In the carpark?
Sounds fair.

You might laugh both there was a bigger crowd at it than the mens Senior football final.

A few DVD’s and before you know it it’ll be time for breakfast.

They could stay in the Travel Lodge in Knockainey.
