All I can do is bring her she loves it.

When she is 7 she will be going to horse riding too.

I couldn’t really pick or choose where we took our house for life but one thing il do is fill her time with activities or sports keep her in the straight and narrow

The drop off of teenage girls in playing sport is a huge thing mate

985

986

More facilities so there is more choice

I think the drop off in kids playing sport is down to parents.

When parents start taking it too serious kids sense it and lose interest because they dont enjoy it.

The eldest.plays soccer for a all girls team and il go watch her but stand silent on the sideline.

You see it at schoolboy level especially premier a teams where nearly every parent thinks there child will have a good crack at doing something special in footballing terms.

Parents falling out with coaches over kids been dropped.

If a child is dropped it’s down to them and not the managers fault.

Size 20” sounds a bit small for a 4 yr old @Dubhub. My youngest got her first proper hurl today. It’s a bit big for her but it’s a 22” and she’s 2 and a half. She’ll grow into it sure.
And before the KK lads get onto me, yes I’m a thundering disgrace for waiting this long before getting her an ash hurl. Though she’s had her hurlóg since she could walk…

In my defence I live in Cork and the auld boy has been taking it easy these last few months

996

I measured her today and a 20 would do her but maybe your right with the way they grow so quickly.

I hope a 34 still does me :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It’s like your building a double life @Locke!
Does the auld lad know this, does he know you’ve played football for Kilkenny?

I know you played football that Summer.

998

Oh he does and he was proud of me. If it wasn’t for the cousin I’d be the only wan to don the b&a (thinking through all the other cousins…)
