Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Good point. Athenry nearly have to be 'good' these days with their numbers and catchment area. From a Galway minor perspective, Athenry would clearly need to be better in the circumstances."

Replying To Trump2020:  "Yes but a lot of them lads might not be from Athenry but from the surrounding parishes. So because the school is a powerhouse doesn't mean Athenry itself will be."

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "I was referring to school Athenry, not 'club Athenry'."

Replying To Off_the_post:  "Fact is we are not good enough and there will have to be alot of work put into this team. Unfortunately it will be the end for alot of the older lads (who absolutely owe nothing to galway at all) and it's sad to see them go out like this but the reality is that it will happen. MD has to be ruthless now. Blood in the young lads get them the experience let them learn and hopefully results will start going our way in the next 2-3 years. But it will be painful at first but hopefully that will change.
Another thing the style of hurling they play does not suit in my opinion any team that has pace causes galway alot of problems.
In the future there needs to be pace ,steel,creating goal chances and get out of the habit of relying on one player to do the work. This team needs to show some grit and a type of meanness.
Club championship is about 6 weeks or so away hopefully it's a good one and MD and management can unearth more players.
Lastly I do hope this doesn't have a negative effect on the supporters. Start of the year bellew and md were trying to rally the supporters to get back behind the team but unfortunately the way this yesr has gone i think there has been damage done to the supporters and it will take awhile to get them back behind the team again. I hope I'm wrong but for now we look forward to the club championship and see what happens next year"

Replying To Black&White26:  "From past trends there will be 10 or more Turloughmore players on the Galway panel next year.
Just watch......"

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Mightn't be a bad idea. I often thought that recent Turlough sides looked like a county team from 1to9, and then were largely toothless up front."
