They were.
Douglas seem to be in the middle of alot of nonsense recently
Has to be ballincollig. Brutal at the hurling.
Anymore on this @caoimhaoin? Did the current club in the area hold their AGM yet? Any changes etc? I would find this kind of thing fascinating. My father was founding member of local soccer club, obviously a second GAA Club isnât different kettle of fish
Actually a town & hibterland inititive i am involved in has picked up some legs. Backing of Council, CIT, UCC and working on HSE etc.
Without getting into it, its a health and activity participation project with the main aim of increasing widespread participation and renention of kids/youths in sport and anything active.
Anyway thru those talks it has come up about the obvious obstacles we will meet the GAA comes up as the biggest one each time. The answer from every person we have discussed has been along the lines of âsure start up another one if they wonât play ballâ.
I already have secured support from 2 of the bigger hinterland clubs so hopefully thats enough to shove the other 5/6 that way.
Bottom line, i think it will come to this ârow in lads or we will go another wayâ.
Iâm enthused by the general thinking out there on these subjects. The tolerence for GAA bullshit is on the wane big time.
However, to be honest, i hope they row in. There are people within that club who believe another club is needed. So if done in an amicable way like that over 5-10 years i think it would be better all round.
Canât see a new club being formed in a town or suburb going amicably though. I know 1 of the founding members of Clonmel Ăg, fascinating stuff
How are they going?
Iâd say its easier deal with dissident republicans
Made it to Senior Football and defeated Commercials in their first year up. Have dropped to intermediate since and were beaten in this yearâs County final by Kildangan
Thats good going all the same
Biggest issue is holding onto decent juveniles as their friendly neighbors tend to snap them up would you believe.
Not just Commercials at that, Moyle Rovers handy at it too

Thurles Sars robbed the best hurler I ever saw them have
And he canât even make the Thurles team
Yeah itâs a bit disappointing when he could help Clonmel Og so much. He was outstanding at underage grades
Whats his name ffs
Mikey O Brien
Play for Tipp ya?
Long way from Clonmel to thurles, surely he was living in Thurles?
He went to Thurles to play with the CBS and stayed with Granny there.
Gave a great line on tg4 when Thurles finally won the collegeâs All Ireland after coming close in recent years before that. He was recieving the motm award and was being asked if losing the previous year had spurred them on to win it that year. He replied that he didnât know as he had only started in school there the previous September.
Played minor and under 21
Fair play.
I hate this ârobbedâ shit though. Everything is a choice. He made a choice to go there.
Right or wrong. He will only know that himself in time.
Is there another club in thurles? Out of interest
