Wexford GAA 2018

Is that not the same as Ballygarret?

yes and no

The Realt Na Mara part of Ballygarret Realt Na Mara is specifically for Riverchapel / Courtown is it not?

and what of it?

He would have started playing in Riverchapel? for who? What is the hurling GAA club of Riverchapel?

@mac clears up your other point. Being on the county senior panel is enough. AS I already said, if he wasnt on it, it would be a factor.

Lads committing assaults in GAA jerseys is some spurious thing to be throwing in for no real reason whatsoever.

How can it be yes and no?

Why are you being so defensive to some very simple non-offensive questions?

get up the yard with yourself there. the legitimized violence in the GAA is an infinitely greater problem than some lad deciding to play for a club marginally closer to where he lives.

by the rule book the move was legitimate, your problem is with the rules rather than trying to have a pop at a young amateur player’s “character”

the hurling club for riverchapel is realt na mara,

anything posted by you is offensive to the sensibilities

quite easily

You’re bringing in completely irrelevant stuff here to try and deflect from the discussion. Its a bizarre and pointless thing to do.

keep your snout out of it, I’m talking to gman

homelessness is a bigger problem too. And has fuck all to do with anything. obviously there are bigger issues with a multitude of things, but I havent a clue what you are at here.

The rules were manipulated. Its not an issue with rules, its an issue with lads faking things to make rules suit. He doesnt live in Gorey, as you have outlined too, but yet says he does. He lives where he lives, in the parish of the that plays for Ballygarret Realt na Mara. Whether someone thinks he might be closer to Gorey is completely irrelevant.

The hurling club is Realt na Mara? Are you actually from there or what? Its the same club you know. They dont have 2 different teams and then merge. The hurlers more often go under Ballygarret whilst the footballers more often go under Realt na Mara. But it is the one registered club, not 2 different ones

and as a young fella, I played and trained in riverchapel behind the NS for realt na mara, no ballygarret back then. I’d have an affinity with riverchapel but the ballygarret side would mean as much to mean as rathnure to an enniscorthy man

Does that happen now and did it happen with Dunbar?

I’ll check and get back to you

And are you talking about a separate GAA club, or playing national school GAA?

back then it was separate clubs, not a school club

Not from that direction, but I have only ever known them as one single club entity. I just checked, they merged as one club in 1982. I’m fairly sure Dunbar was born after that so would only ever have known one club.

It should be noted that Gorey’s opponents on Sunday have a nice sprinkling of feeder clubs too.
