Watch your back
Would they be identifying more with Dublin than Wicklow if it was Wicklow winning the all irelands?

A student who suffered a serious head injury during a schools rugby match has secured €2.75m damages, plus costs, under a settlement approved by the High Court.
Not clear what the apportionment of liability between the school and hospital were. A few more of these cases and rugby will become uninsurable.
Sportsmen and experts including Barry O’Driscoll, the former medical adviser to the International Rugby Board, have warned of the dangers of head injuries in the film Head Games: The Global Concussion Crisis.
O’Driscoll, who resigned from the IRB medical advisory board two years ago in protest at its handling of head injuries, cites the treatment of his own nephew, Brian O’Driscoll, as evidence of the problem.
The Ireland star was allowed to return to the pitch after suffering concussion during a match against France in March last year.
“If that had been allowed in the United States, during an American football match, then the officials involved would have been sacked,” he says in the documentary.
Rugby is here to stay unfortunately. Where else would a 17 year old get 2.7m for a substitute appearance in a schools match.
That’s a serious catchment area alright. Cuala should become a powerhouse in due course. They’ll always be a quaint Dalkey club to me though. My team, Clanna Gael Fontenoy, used to beat up on them all the time. But they are being left behind by them now

You’re like a broken record.
Let everyone be reminded again that you are a Shamrock Rovers fan. The team that swindled the country out of millions of pounds in tax, sold their ground to property developers and spunked all the money overpaying shite players. You then had the state build a ground for you in Tallaght after the trail of devestation you left behind. Including conning countless small businesses out of money, the laundrette that washed your kit had to take you to court to get paid ffs:D
So if you want to moan about state aid perhaps your scummy soccer club should pay back all the money they cheated the country out of?
The late Mick Holden was how I remembered Cuala.
€450 for a family (with 3 kids) to join for a year.
Kilmacud Crokes is similar in terms of subscription fees.

Any other monies required after that, ie, Dev tickets, Club draws, Lotto, etc?
Not sure but there is a lotto so I expect club draws as well
dev levy of 100 per year
kids are at the age now where I am going to join a club. They are two clubs near me. I have two kids so would be €380 for Cuala
Kilmacud is 720 for family for a year but that includes pool, tennis and gym (no idea what they are like)
GAA on its own is 360 for a family but not sure if a levy of 100 on top of that

Thats serious business. Some Clubs will roll all the draws/lotto/levy into different types of membership schemes for players/fans/families but that would be it then for the year. To think they’d come again with the hand out again would be sickening.

There’s a weekly lotto in Cuala alright.
Also a fantastic hog-roast last summer and a table quiz.
Big catchment area alright but a huge amount of work done/to be done to get oiks from the Noggin, Shankill, Monkstown and Dun Laoghaire playing GAA.
Crokes is full of toffee-nosed cunts. Bunch of arseholes.

Feic that - some of the kids friends have already joined Crokes so I will need Kofi Annan at home now to push Cuala.

Taking my Cuala hat off momentarily, Crokes is a great club. You can’t go wrong.
My brother is currently lining out for St. Brendans. Now there’s a club.
