We'll have up-to-date pool lead tables from Division 1 for next week. Moving on now to Division 2, starting with Levy's, Mikey Welch 3, Shane Welch 1. It was a draw, a 2 all draw between Liam McGrath and Ciarán McGrath and it was also a draw between Shane Welch and Vincent Welch there, 2 all. Moving on to Mollie's Division 2, Paddy Joe Lydon 3, James Kearney 0, Jackson Graham 3, Jason Hania 1, Jason Hania 3, James Kearney 1 and a 2 all draw there between Michael Keneally and Paddy Joe Lydon.

And wrapping up tonight with McGrath's, the 4th pool there at Division 2 level and results from McGrath in Clifton from last Friday night as follows, Darren Wallace 4, Noel Leggett 2, Cassius Purcell 4, Muzzy O'Toole 1, Marty Mullen 4, Johnny Wallace 1 and with a series of 3 all draws there between first of all Noel Leggett and Johnny Wallace, followed by Cassius Purcell against Eric Diamond and finally Marty Mullen and Muzzy O'Toole. And as this league progresses there are more and more draws coming into play and it's highly highly competitive. Round 4 to follow next Friday and we'll have a full results roundup from Round 4 plus the first update in terms of league tables and we know of course the top 4 to progress there to the knockout phase and that'll be well out into the new year. Golf next, starting with last Friday it was an open Stableford and the men's winner there was Gilles Nkeze on 39 points with David Cleary in second on 37 points and yesterday it was a Stableford, a hamper 2 and the men's overall Gilles Nkeze was the winner on 41 points. Division 1 in first place there was Gerard O'Farrell on 36 points, at Division 2 level it was Conor O'Malley first on 38 points, Nick Grossman to Alan O'Malley on 28 points gross. In the ladies competition the overall winner was Helen Costlow on 37 points, followed by Ciara Mannion in second on 35 points, Grossman to Tina O'Neill on 23 points gross and Marilyn Kelly was third there on 33 points. So thanks there to Connemara Golf Club for sending on those results. GA item next and heartbreak for the footballers of A2 Connemara who had a great league campaign it has to be said but it came to an end in Dublin last Tuesday I think it was, they travelled up to play Dublin City University in the semi-final of Senior League Division 4 and came out the wrong side of a 2-11 to 1-9 final scoreline in favour of the Dublin College. So a championship to come there for the A2 Connemara hurlers and footballers in February, they'll probably take a well-deserved break now for Christmas and then get back at it again in preparation for the upcoming third level championships. Just an LGFA item here, first of all the LGFA County Convention is on next Sunday in the Maldron Hotel and there'll be three delegates from all the various LGFA clubs travelling into that very very important meeting to do a full review of the year. There'll be motions and recommendations and so on and so forth and anything in relation to fixtures in recent years has been deferred to a fixtures forum which comes after the AGM. Gwanil Wales are organising a fundamentals coaching course at Clifton Community School and the West Connemara Sports and Leisure Centre so that's all good to go on Saturday the 18th of January. And Gwanil Wales LGFA just want to welcome any personnel from Ní Fahin an Clodháin GAA Club, Clonborough LGFA, Clonborough GAA, Renfrewshire GAA, Carna Cashel LGFA and Carna Cashel GAA so if there are any people in those clubs who would like to get their introduction to Gaelic Games done and get their fundamentals qualification then just contact any member of the Gwanil Wales Executive and we'll make sure to book a place for you on January the 18th. Moving on to rugby, Adult J1 League and the big game on Sunday went the way of the Connemara lads. They defeated Dunmore 14 points to 10. It was a huge win for them, it puts them now level with Dunmore, there's three teams there basically in joint second place behind Ballina. And they travel to Ballina this coming Saturday for a real top of the table clash in Heffernan Park in Ballina at 7pm, that's Ballina against Connemara. If Connemara come out on top next Saturday they will go top of the J1 League. Well done to them on a really hard-earned victory up in North Galway there last weekend. No joy for the Utrecht Connemara U-15 or U-16 boys. At U-15 level it finished 2-12 Connemara Utrecht 5, that was in a Division 2 League semi-final. The U-16s were also in a corresponding Division 2 League semi-final but they lost out at home to Ballinasloe on a 10-51 scoreline. Rugby fixtures for the coming week, starting this coming Wednesday the 4th of December it's Clifton Community School against Calisanctus from Ornmore at 12 noon out at the Monastery and that is a Girls Senior B League match. And then next Saturday the 7th that aforementioned top of the table clash between Ballina and Connemara and that's it for rugby for the week coming. Soccer next, in fact I finish on soccer tonight starting with the Adult Division 2 League and a great win for West Coast United down in North Galway last weekend. Curfew in United B won West Coast United 2. That win moves West Coast up to 6th place on 15 points from 12 matches. They're fully 13 points behind Kiltona Pioneers who are the league leaders but nevertheless good result and they hope to build on that now over the coming weeks. West Coast 138s playing at Division 3 level, they lost out 1-0 at home to Calga. That defeat sees them in 3rd place in the league table on 13 points and they're 6 points behind Calga so if that result had gone the other way it would have made a real significant difference to West Coast. So it was really kind of a 6 pointer that one, Calga getting the only goal there in that one. West Coast United under 15s playing at Division 1 level had a comprehensive 5-0 home victory over Calga. They maintained their 100% record in that division, they're now on 21 points from 7 matches, fully 8 points ahead of Merlin Woods but Cityside do have a game in hand. Soccer fixtures for the weekend ahead starting next Saturday the 7th of December. West Coast Under-14s playing at Championship level are on their way to Crawford United at 12 noon. Then next Sunday the 8th of December West Coast Under-16s playing in the Championship, they have a half-eleven kick-off at home to Kinbarry United. The Under-12s are playing their opening round of the Division 2-3 cup at 12 noon next Saturday and they're away to Salt Hill, Devon Sea in that one, best of luck to them. And finally tonight the West Coast United Under-14 girls, they're in action next Sunday at 1.30pm in Letterfrack against Colemanstown United and that's a Division 1 fixture and best of luck to them. That's my lot for tonight, thanks very much to Pat on Technical and we'll talk to you in a week's time. Christmas Day now on at Brodericks Electrical, Castlebar and Westport.

G'day and welcome to Connemara Community Radio and Talk Sport. Good evening listeners and welcome to Connemara Community Radio and Talk Sport on this Monday, the 2nd of December 2024. And in the headlines, soccer, Liverpool increased their lead in rugby, Ireland scraped past Australia 22-19 and Connemara just overcame them all by four points. New rules accepted unanimously by the GAA and in the Grand Prix, Max Verstappen win the Guitar Grand Prix. We have this evening Bernard Lee on soccer, Tony Kine on GAA and PJ Heffernan on rugby. And I have online now Bernard Lee. Welcome Bernard. Good evening Viv. And we go to the Premiership. And on Friday, Brighton won, out Hampton won. You know what's interesting Viv, it's very difficult to predict the Premiership. You know, you get games that are what you think would be the form. But I suppose what's great about it is it's so competitive. And obviously Southampton would have been down with Brighton going very well. Yeah, they're there at the bottom, aren't they Southampton? They are, yeah. And they came back as well. They did. They were, yeah. That took a bit of courage. Yes, yes, because the pressure would be on the manager and on the players themselves. Confidence is low. And, you know, Brighton, in fairness, they're just one of those very consistent teams. And, you know, for them to be up there in fourth position now, even after what they might call dropping two points, they've been pushing for second or third in the table, had they got the win. But one honour even, and look at, as I said, Brighton, fourth, it's a decent position. Southampton need a little bit more luck in their, you know, they're not in a great position. I reckon most teams that are in relegation positions come in Christmas time. They're on five points there, they'll probably go down. But, look, it was a good result for them. And, as I said, to come from 1-0 down was a decent effort because Brighton are certainly a strong team. Brentford, Penn Standard, Brentford 4, Leicester 1. And, of course, Leicester now are going to come under the new managership of, you know, the man who left from Manchester United there, and Brentford with Thomas Franks going well. And so, Vanessa Leroy obviously is coming in there to Leicester, had a decent run with a couple of games in charge of Man United. But he wasn't really in charge for this game, and so, as I said, they recently removed their manager there because of recent results. And this wouldn't have been a great one. Brentford are a very strange team, but very unpredictable. You know, they can go on runs of losing games, but they're always good at entertaining. And when they hit form, they can score goals, and this they did on the day there. So, 4-1. But Vanessa Leroy will have some interesting matches ahead for Leicester, I suppose, and we'll see how it goes. And, as I said, he looks like he could be an interesting addition to the ex-players who are becoming managers there, and all that entails. He's certainly a lot of experience there, but this wasn't under his watch, or we say he wasn't in the crowd watching it. But starting next weekend, we should start to see maybe some changes there. But Thomas Frank and Brentford, very good, very consistent. And to think Brentford, many years ago, they were down in the Doldrums, possibly in the second division, or well down out of the Championship. And here they are, a staple diet now of Premiership football for their fans. They have a small ground there on the outskirts of London. And Thomas Frank has done great things with them, and great support they have as well. But just very consistent, and unlikely to be featuring in relegation. You know, they're up there in 8th position, so solid enough, 20 points already, halfway to survival, around 35 to 40 points will be needed for survival, and I think that will be well within their capabilities. Right. Crystal Palace won, Newcastle won. I thought Newcastle might scrape that, but they didn't. Newcastle, I'm afraid, they're a bit like Aston Villa. They give you a false sense of they're better than what they are, and then they go on this bad run of results. But really, Newcastle have dropped a lot of points. And for their position, they're in 11th position, and it's just not good enough. You have teams like Fulham and Brentford above them, and Nottingham Forest. And you know, there's a lot of money there. Probably the richest club in the world, whether that's true or not. But Eddie Howe there, you know, he needs to kind of get them together, maybe get a couple of cup runs going as well. So overall, not a good result for them. Palace would probably be happy enough with that. Palace, obviously, down at the bottom end of the table in 17th place. So, you know, that wouldn't have been a bad result for them. But certainly, Newcastle, 11th position. They were in fourth there a number of years ago. They got into Champions League positions, and that wouldn't be a good enough result for the fans and for the people in charge of the club. So Howe might come under a little bit of pressure if things don't improve. Right. Nottingham Forest 1, Ipswich 0. Yeah. So, Forest, again, I think Ipswich might have played better in this. Certainly in the first half, they were on top. But they got undone by, I think, a late penalty there. Wood, Chris Wood, who scored a lot of goals for Forest this year. And Ipswich, you know, under McKinnon there, the player with Irish links, and he's a good new manager. Disappointing for Ipswich. They're obviously down in the relegation zone as well, on eight, nine points, I think. And, yeah, look, it was just one of those ones that Forest, they've had a lot of good results. They've had a few recent bad results for us, but they're in a great position to be where they are up there in sixth position. It's an amazing achievement. And a bit fortunate, shall we say, with the penalty. I think 0 or 1 all might have been a fair result. Ipswich, I think, might have had the better of it. But, yeah, decent results. The fans will be happy with the way things are going there. West Ham 2, Arsenal 5. That was fair old thrashing. Yeah, no, West Ham, looking at home, they'd expect better than that. It's a London derby, and you don't often get them to be too one-sided. But Arsenal have a few players back from injury, and they're showing a bit of decent form, both domestically and in Europe as well. So, yeah, and with the demise maybe of some of the other teams around them, they'll be serious challengers. So if they keep that up, you know, they scored well in the European competition as well in the Champions League during the week. And a good win for Arsenal. Saka is a very consistent player, possibly the most consistent player in the league, and he got on the score sheet. But he's very good, and they've got some good partnerships there at Arsenal. And look at West Ham, the manager will come under a bit of pressure there because any time you lose at home in a London derby 5-2, it's not good. But Arsenal are climbing the table, and, you know, they've had a run of bad results recently, but they're up to second now in 25 points. But a little bit of a gap to, obviously, Liverpool in that. But a good win for Arsenal. No doubt. Next one I have here is Wolves to Bournemouth 4. Yeah. Two penalties. Yeah, four. Yes, there was. I think there was a record there. And I think the player there was Justin Kluivert. So he was a son of Patrick Kluivert. He was a very, I think, famous player there back a generation or so ago. Dutch player. And Kluivert, I think he's the first player to score three penalties in a match. Get a hat-trick for penalties. So it was an interesting one. Some of them were a little bit dodgy, but he scored them. And Wolves have been, you know, decent enough at home as well, but so slightly, you know, a topsy-turvy result for them, and one you might not have predicted. But look, if you're going to get three penalties in a game and you're going to score them, chances are you're going to win the game. That was a great chance. So a bit disappointing. It's one of those matches. But Bournemouth have a few scouts, big scouts under their belts as well, and it's a good win for them. And, you know, they're in nicely positioned as well, in 13th position on 18 points. And, yeah, any time you win away from home, it's a good result. So, yeah, Wolves will hopefully, you know, put that behind them and maybe get some decent results in their upcoming matches. But, you know, they're obviously in a difficult position down there in the relegation zone. So you can't be forward to losing, you know, on nine points. And it's going to be a tight battle there for those relegation positions, I'd say, between two or three of them. There are Palace left, Everton might pull away, but, yeah, even West Ham aren't out of it yet. So it's important to pick up as many points as you can, especially at home, but not a good result for Wolves. Yes, sir. Chelsea 3, Aston Villa now. Yeah, and Chelsea are emerging as a decent team and possibly even title contenders. Villa, again, I mentioned like Newcastle, they just have been on a bad run and were going very well about over a month ago, but haven't got a win for quite a long time, back till early October, I think. And the wheels have come off a bit. So Chelsea going well and Cole Palmer, of course, is a great addition to their squad in recent times and is very consistent in either providing goals or scoring himself. And Chelsea up to third position, down 25 points, level with Arsenal and just behind on goal difference. And, as I said, that's a good victory for them. And, as I said, Villa need to get their act together. They're struggling a bit. OK. Liverpool 2, Manchester City 0. Yeah. Manchester City seem to be slipping up a bit. Yeah, no, no, they're on a terrible run and obviously they lost a three-goal lead in midweek in Europe as well. And this was fairly predictable. They didn't lay a glove really on Liverpool. Liverpool won in a little bit of a canter, might have won by more. But, yeah, City going through a bit of a disastrous period for them. There'll be no sympathy there because they're a big money club and they've won so much. But it is an interesting story there to see what Guardiola can do, how you react to the pressure of it and the players as well. You know, they're still fighting on a lot of fronts. They're in the FA Cup, they're still not out of the league and the Champions League as well. But they might need to invest a little bit into January, transfer deadline period there. But there might be constraints on what they can do there. But, yeah, they have a few players to come back from injury. But, by and large, the morale is low there. Liverpool going very well. Arne Slott, you know, just has a fantastic record there which I think he's only lost one game out of 17 or 18. One draw as well. And very good top of their league position, I think, in the Champions League as well. I think it might be five wins from five. So everything going well. And Rosie is still in the League Cup, I think. And, you know, plenty of good games up and coming to Christmas. And it looks like they'll be leading by Christmas time. You know, at the moment, Arsenal and Chelsea are second above and Brighton even above Man City. So interesting times. But a good time and an exciting time for Liverpool's band at the minute. Right. Manchester United 4 Everton 0. That was a good hammering. Yeah, so the new manager has come in there from Portugal. And, yeah, so they've had a draw in the first game against it, which wasn't great. And then they got the second win and now the third win. And they obviously got the win in Europe. But this is their first debut, I suppose, at Old Trafford. Everton weren't going well. Hadn't conceded many in recent games at Everton. So United finding a bit of form there. And the new manager, as I said, he's betting in well. And I'm sure there'll be a bit of excitement with Manchester United fans that the period of, I suppose, one step forward and two steps back under Tim Hague is gone. And he's a new young manager with a good record behind him in Europe, in, shall we say, back in Portugal. And it looks like they're getting off to a decent start. So they might start to climb the table. And, you know, they're in ninth position, but not a million miles off, you know, top five, top six, maybe, with a couple of good results. So good win for them. OK, and the final one we have. Tottenham won, Fulham won. I thought Tottenham would win that, but they didn't. Well, look, who'd ever predict what Tottenham would do? Certainly, you know, they four-nil away to Man City in the last game and then against Fulham had a man sent off for a period of the match, but won all. Not a good result, and it's just typical of Spurs. And dropping important points that they need to be making up the ground rather than dropping points. So, you know, they're in seventh position there on 20 points. Better than a defeat, but not much. And, you know, 14 points to Liverpool at the top. Not that they're going to be worried about that, but, you know, even for fourth position there, Brighton and Hoveld being the only on 23. So even though they're down a bit for the European positions that they might like to get into Champions League, they're not a million miles off. But it's a bad result. It's a bad result. You've got to be winning those games, and especially the other period, as I said, they were against 10 men. But typical of Spurs. So they need to concentrate. They have an FA or a League Cup, shall I say, quarter-final against Manchester United coming up there in the run-up to Christmas. That will be a big match for them. And they need to get a trophy on the board this year to ease pressure maybe on the manager. But Fulham, decent team as well, and a good point for them. Their intense position just behind Manchester United. So, yes, overall, that'll be disappointing for Spurs. But as I said, Fulham, not a bad footballing team, and they proved it there with their guts and resilience to eke out a one-all draw. Right. Before we go on to the next weekend games, how do you see our women doing tomorrow evening against Wales? That'll be an interesting match. Obviously, it's in the Aviva. So, obviously, if they can get past Wales, they'll have qualified for the Women's European Championships. A good, hard-fought draw. Won all there, was it on Friday, I think, and they went 1-0 down. But fought back, got a bit fortunate with the goal, but overall played well. And I think they should be confident, a good crowd at the Aviva, and there's a big prize there to get to the European Championships. I think Wales possibly will score. I think the first two will win, 2-1 would be my prediction. Wales, decent enough as well, and I'd say they're confident. I know the manager is confident. They don't care where they play, and I suppose that's a good attitude to have, whether you're home or away, you just go out and play your football. But Eileen Gleeson, the Irish manager, there will be confident, I think. She's got good results out of them in three matches. This will be a big one, and hopefully, as I said, they get the right results. So I'm going to predict 2-1, but a hard-fought match because the prize is great for both teams, and Wales are decent enough. But it'll be a great boost for the women's game, which has been improved and improving there in recent years. And this will be another boost to get to the European Championships. So fingers crossed for them. This should be a big crowd. Will it be 25,000? Well, hopefully. Look what I say, and look at it if the people in charge were right to be letting in the youngsters for free, and maybe getting all the kids, and just get an atmosphere there, and that's how you promote the game. So I don't know how that marketing goes, but I would be hoping that. I don't know whether 16,000 for the game in Wales, something like that, which is all right. But yeah, the Aziz is a wonderful stadium, and they've got good record there, and they'll play comfortable and confident there as well. So big night for Irish women's soccer, and anything less than a qualification would be disappointing. But as I said, I think they might have to score two goals, and they're not the most free-scoring team. But on a night like that, you never know what could happen. Players, especially if they're boosted by a decent crowd, and sometimes the atmosphere is very good. But I hope that it is, as you said, between 20, 25, or whatever, and a bit of luck, maybe a referee's decision or whatever, goes their way on the day, and that it'll be a big boost to look forward to the European Championships next year. Great. Right, we move on to Saturday. Aston Villa versus Southampton. Yeah, so I'm going to go... I'm going to go with a home win there for Villa, 2-1. They need to come back from their recent results, and that'll be my prediction on that one. Prediction, right. Brentford versus Newcastle? Yeah. Brentford versus Newcastle. Again, Newcastle struggling a little bit with recent results. I'm going to go 1-1 on that one. Yeah, you reckon a draw. Crystal Palace versus Manchester City. Right, obviously City going through a difficult position at the minute. Palace, look, we've got... They're decent enough, but I'm going to go with City to win. They have to finish off their bad results at some stage. 3-1. 3-1 to City. Local derby, Everton versus Liverpool, 12-30. A good one there. Obviously, it's always a big one, the Merseyside derby. If Everton could get a draw on this, it'd be a great result. My fancy is that Liverpool might be too strong for them. I'm going to go 2-1 away win. But I think most of the league would like Liverpool to drop a few points and just to compact up the... Make it a bit more competitive. Yeah, because there's a bit of a gap there. So I'd be hoping for an Everton result, maybe a draw or a win. But I'm going to go with a 2-1 away win for Liverpool. Liverpool, right. Manchester United versus Nottingham Forest. Yeah, and a home advantage. So I'm going to go with United to continue under the new manager with a good result there. So I'm going to go 2-1 to United, home win. Home win, right. We just have a few for Sunday. Fulham versus Arsenal. Yeah. Arsenal should win that. So Fulham on the back of the draw against Spurs. We're hoping it's a London derby. But I've got to say, Arsenal have got the bit between their teeth now and are trying to make up lost ground from recent results. And I would have to go with a 2-1 away win for Arsenal on that one. Right. Ipswich versus Bournemouth. Ipswich-Bournemouth. I'm going to go with a 2-2 draw on that one. I think Ipswich at home, they need the points. And Bournemouth, as we said, they're a difficult team to beat. So 2-2 on that one. On that, right. A draw there. Leicester versus Brighton. Leicester-Brighton. So Vanessa Roy might be in for this one in the first game and a tough one against Brighton. But I'm going to go with a home win to get maybe off to a good start with the new manager. So 2-1 Leicester for that result for them on the back of the 4-1 loss at the weekend. So that would be a good one if it transpires. And the final one. A great tussle between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Yeah, a big one. It was always a big London derby. Tottenham could certainly do with making up the ground. It would upset Chelsea. It would run up the table. As I said, they're in decent position. I'm going to go with a home win. Spurs certainly need it. They haven't been great at home. It would be hard-fought. And I'd say 2-1. But Chelsea would be hard-fought. As I said, they're in good form. But if Spurs were to lose, it's certainly a big setback to their recent form. And as I said, heart overhead. 2-1 to Spurs on that one. Right. OK, Bernard. I think that's about it. And we'll check out next week and see how these results go. So until we meet again, thanks very much. OK, thanks, Steve. Good evening. Good evening. And we'll go back to the studio. Come on, Bernard. OK. Fair play to you. OK. I'd say we went up over the top. That'll keep us going for a few minutes. Yeah. OK. All right. Three, two, go. Welcome back, listeners. I have online now, Tony Cunningham. Welcome, Tony. Thanks, Steve. Thank you. We might have a look, Tony, at the Connacht Club senior football championship final. And it was after extra time. Coulourane, Strandhill, 115, and Parry, Pearsons, 114. It was a tough way to go to the Connacht Championship by a pint after extra time. It was. As I said, yeah, a very tight game yesterday. And Pearsons, you know, they looked in control at one stage. They had opened up a bit of a lead. But, you know, Strandhill never gave up. You know, they kept looking away. And they kept, you know, the scoreboard ticking over the points. They did. And, you know, got a huge score there from 30 and equalising. Pivoted in there. You know, you feel, you know, it's down. You have to have a cut at it, have a shot. Nothing to lose. And, you know, he tied it up. Tied it up against extra time. I suppose the goal that Strandhill got in extra time opened up a bit of a lead. Yeah, it's hard to come back from that, isn't it? Hard to come back from that. Because you're tired and everything. It's tired. Limbs are tired, you know. Head twitches are heavy no matter what. Yesterday, you know, the pitch ended up well for the whole game. But, you know, bodies are tired at that stage. And, you know, it opened up that three-point cushion. And as much as Pearce was trying to get back, they just couldn't get it back in the end. So, you know, Strandhill, you know, look at them, it was probably the surprise. It was the outsiders coming into it, you know. Courtois playing Ballon d'Or. Pearce would probably have been ahead of them. Yeah, they had. They beat some good teams on the way. Yeah, they beat Ballon d'Or. That went to extra time in the penalty. So they've done it the hard way. But, you know, I suppose it's a great boost for Sligo football. It's only the second ever time. I think it's back in the 80s, I think, at St Mary's on the town there. So a great boost for Sligo, Sligo County football in general. Ah, yeah. You know, it's always good to see a first-time winner as well. So it's always nice to see. And it's sure huge, huge celebrations in that area for the last couple of days now. But, of course, now, of course, they have an honour and semi-final to prepare for now as well. They're going to meet the Dublin and Leicester champions, Koola. That won't be easy. That won't be easy. Koola are probably the favourites for that. Ah, they won't be. No. They'll be favourites. Yeah, it's just, you know, but still, as people are saying, it's a wide-open club championship, you know. There's new teams there now, new faces there now. So, yeah, it's all to play for really this season. Yeah. What do you make of the new rules they're bringing in? Yeah, I suppose it was, you know, widely predicted they were going to be passed. They're passed with a heavy majority, over 90%, I think, for the majority of them. And, look, I think it'll be, you know, it'll be interesting. And I think something had to be done. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. People were looking forward to it. Yeah, it's just gone far too negative and teams were, you know, I think counties and teams were just being set up now far too negative. It was all about staying in the game more than winning it. You know, the fear of losing, I think, was just creeping far too much into games. And, you know, football, it was becoming, you know, spectator unfriendly, to be honest. We're turning away from the games. You know, you could see the intentions were dropping. So, yeah, I think, look, it's encouraging forward play. It's encouraging teams to have a go, to have a shot, to have, you know, leaving three up, I think, is a good thing. Yes. Yeah, definitely, you know, because I think when we were seen as we had 15 men back, then they broke quickly, but the guy with the ball didn't want to keep it down. He had to turn around and pass it back. Pass it back, yeah. Of course, there just wasn't anyone there to kick it up to. So, at least now with the three inside the 45, there are the options there, you know, and so I think that's a good thing. I think the kick-outs have to go beyond the 40-metre line. Yes, they have. That will hopefully encourage more high-fielder back into the game. Again, it'll probably encourage teams to go forward quickly, rather than, you know, this short kick-out that the goalies were at, you know, things were starting back in the 20-metre line, slow build-ups, and it was giving teams a chance to get everyone back. You know, it was just creating, you know, it was just very defensive, very defensive. You know, football is traditionally, you know, you kick the ball forward to get scores. That's the way it's been played through the years. So, yeah, that's, you know, that can be a good thing, I think, you know, encouraging to shoot from outside 40 metres and get two points. That'll be interesting to see, you know. Teams will probably be lining up the big shooters around the 40, 45 there, right? If you have a good shooter, yeah, if you have a good shooter. Will it cut out? Will people try for goals at all, I wonder? I think they still will, because I don't know. I think they will, because as I said to you, I think when teams now break quickly, you know, they'll be anxious to get the ball inside. The fact that you now have forwards, I think at this stage, you know, you're going to see most teams playing with two forwards inside the 20-metre line. And, you know, get the ball in there, and if they're getting the ball in there, then the score chances are going to come. And I think, you know, quite as I know the emphasis might be on shooting. Not everyone is going to be shooting from 40 metres all the time. They are going to try and walk the ball inside for goals as well. So I think it will, you know, it definitely will. I don't think it will diminish a goal-taking in the game or anything like that. Yeah, I see. I suppose you have to have a good outfield shooter, really, don't you? I would, yeah, that's it. But they are, look, most counties have them nowadays. You know, we've seen in our own county and most counties and others. Yeah, Garnwall should benefit a bit from it. I would think so, you know. I would think so, you know. Certainly, we've seen Paul Conroy kick around on his pints. Yeah, yeah. Oh, he kicked some great pints. You know, there's no doubt that, you know, Shane Wells… In the corner forwards. Two corner forwards. Yeah, good forwards. All this tradition, if you have good forwards, they're ready to take scores. So, you know, it encourages them to shoot. And other counties as well. I mean, we've seen Dublin, you know, got good scorers down through the years in other counties as well. So, yeah, it makes for an interesting time. I think there's a few other… Grosvenor discipline is very much into it now as well. You know, and the… Yeah, 50 metres. 50 metres, which is, you know… Definitely a score, you could say. It's putting it into score, you know. If you give away a free at the half-way line and your discipline is moving at 50 metres, it's practically up to 30 metres out from goal. It leads to scoring opportunities. So, you know, a lot of discipline clubs and counties are going to have to, you know. They're going to have to. It's going to be a major, major, major patch of games now as well. Yeah, I think it's just showing more respect to referees as well. You know, they're asking now that, you know, the designated captain is the only one they can speak to. Yeah, yeah. It'll be something like the Rugby now, yeah. Yeah, I suppose the trial at Rugby seems to work at Rugby, you know. Well, if you open your mouth at all, he's gone 20 metres. He's gone 20 metres and it's certain, you know, you don't see too much of it now in Rugby because it's very disciplined. So, I think, you know, the GAA have just decided they have to do something about it. Yeah, there was too much shouting and talking. Yeah, there is too much shouting going on, you know, too much verbose going on. And, you know, I think it's time now that, you know, just take a step back maybe and just, you know, just tighten things up. And, you know, all the things take a while to get used to, but I think, you know, in time it can only be good for the game, you know, because the biggest problem in the GAA at the moment down at club level is referees. They just don't have enough referees, you know. Yeah. It's putting a lot of onus on referees now, doesn't it? You know, whether a player was inside or... I mean, his linesmen will have to... Yeah, it is. It's going to be difficult at club level. Certainly at club level in the league matches when a referee comes on his own, you know, he's wanted to be gone. He's done it. So, there's going to be teething problems, I suppose. You know, a championship is fine because we have, you know, we have neutral linesmen, neutral referees. Ah, yeah. You've got four, six, seven people watching. Yeah, six, seven people watching. I suppose, because everyone will just have to, you know, as I said, there's going to be teething problems, but, you know, hopefully in time, you know, everyone will get used to it. There's been new rules brought in before, and, you know, I think after a few months with the games under their belt, they'll have adjusted to it. They'll get used to it. Yeah, they'll get used to it, but this time next year, hopefully we'll be talking about the success of the whole thing. Yeah. Or back to the drawing board. Hopefully. Hopefully. They may have a look in a year's time and there may be a couple of things that aren't working. Yeah. And then you just take them out. You know, that's simple enough. And maybe tweak something here and there. That can always happen. But you have to go and try and try and try and see how it goes. You never know. If you don't try something, you never know whether it'll work or not. So, as I say, hopefully, hopefully it's the game in January. I think there's a positive feedback from certainly the county level, all the inter-county managers. You know, they were going, I know from county boards, and the county managers were encouraging for them to be involved. So, that's a good thing. That's a good thing that they're behind us. And that's, you know, that's the start of the year for you. Yeah, that's half the battle, really. Yeah. So, hopefully, as I said, hopefully they all think the same. Yeah, we'll see. There's room for the game. I think you can only improve the game in January. Yeah. We'll see. Will the letter run for a year anyway, I presume? I think so, yeah. It's there now for next year for the league and championships. So, look at, I think, the letter after a year. Yeah, so that's a good trial period. Yeah, a good trial period. They review everything then, and then it'll go back to be officially passed into the rulebook and council. So, as I said, it's there now for the year. It's in place for the year. And then, they'll see at the end of the year if something has to be tweaked, fine art, if something is not working, you just take it out. So, yeah. So, yeah. That's the time at the moment for them. Yeah. I don't think they're going to touch the hurling or leaving that, as it is. No, only the hurling alone. I think, you know, as I said, we've talked about this before, the hurling is fine. Yeah. The only thing in the hurling, I suppose, is the hand pass that I think they're going to do. That's very dicey, isn't it? Yeah, it's very dicey. It's touch and go sometimes with players, but I think, you know, referees, I think, now they've been told just to get strict on that. Yes. And look at the rest of the hurling is fine. Why interfere with a game that's going well as it is? You know, we've had some great matches again last year. You know, the championship has been good and all that. So, yeah, I think they're happy. In general, they're happy with the things they've won or won't. Yeah. No doubt. OK. Last one, so on, the end of the month, is it? The end of the month, yeah. A couple of weeks time now, next Friday week, the 13th. 13th. It won't be unlucky for a lot of people. That'll be our Christmas status so we'll be in Lowry's there on the night. Yeah, we hope to have a big night there now on the night. We'll have extra spot prizes in there for the night, attendance prizes as well. Yeah, it's always a great night. It's always a good night. It's a great night there as well. And, of course, on the night as well we'll have a guaranteed jackpot. We'll have a thousand euro on the night as well. Yeah, it'll be a nice Christmas present. Yeah, a nice Christmas present for somebody as well. So we're preparing for that now as tickets are on sale and the usual outlets are on the area. So we'll go from Friday week to Friday week, 13th. That'll be our last draw. That'll be our last draw for the year. Two euro. Two euro. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. Two euro tickets as well. We've got a test now going on there as well for chairperson. Oh, is that right? Yes, that's going to be an interesting night now to see. So then, as I said, the football boards and the hurling boards, they get together then in January and then they're going to be called to meetings and then discussion about the national weekend and dates. It's normally the first, I think, last year. It was the middle of March, Paddy's weekend, and I think it'll be the same next year. The league's up and going. Yeah. Did I hear that Galway are playing our man the first game? Oh, the National League, yeah. That's going to be the first. The National League will start at the end of January. In fact, that's going to be the game in Salt Hill. It's going to be under lights. Oh, my goodness. That'll be fantastic. Yeah, so it should be, actually. But, yeah, it's a good attraction. They're going to have the floodlights there now in Salt Hill. So, yeah, they'll be able to play some national football, national hurling matches under lights. I think Galway are planning to have a couple of matches in the league. Definitely one in the football hours and maybe one in the hurling as well. Yes. But I think down through the year, I think it'll be very close as well. The Etons will get a championship in September, October. They'll be able to play games as well. So, you know, it's a good addition to have. Most county grounds now are fully flooded. They are, yeah. It's lovely to go to a game, actually, on the first day. Yeah, the general consensus around the county is that the tenants tend to be up on a Saturday night and a Sunday afternoon. Yes. Most people go on a Saturday evening. Yeah, they like to have the thunder free. Yeah, that frees up the thunder for families and all that. Yeah. Yeah, so I think that the GAA have been encouraging a lot of counties to play games. I think any county that has facilities, you know, Galway themselves, I know this. We travel ourselves to games on Saturday nights and it's always quite a good atmosphere on Saturday nights. Yeah. Something different and, as I said, it's a great addition for the county to have a fully flooded ground as well. Up to county standards as well. So, yeah, I think the last weekend in January, the league starts with all those first games at home time. So, I think that is the plan all along. Once the construction is finished in January, they'll play that game on the right. Right. So, you can remind us again next week or the week after. We will. Yeah. OK, Tony, if there's nothing else, we will leave it. No, that's it for this week. Yeah, that's all. OK. Thanks very much for taking our call. We'll speak to you next week. All right. Bye-bye. So, that was Tony Callender. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
