Slightly odd that medical expenses/physio costs get highlighted as the area to focus on in terms of cost control. Cutting corners here sees very short sighted

This would cover all teams across all sessions. Lots is said about player welfare. This would be the most important aspect.

I presume this is all contract work. Will they employ their own physios at Currans and set up their own unit?

A bit late in the night, but just to wish all the Kerry posters a happy Christmas , enjoyed some great intelligent discussions this year, genuinely good gaa debate and as expected some guys very biased and others really genuine. Great forum to be proud of and looking forward to great debates next year.

There is a documentary on Mick O'Dwyer on RTE 1 this coming Monday night at 9.30. From the ad, it looks good and it is certainly long overdue.

And so can Star.
Heart and commitment not lacking there anyway.
A good rest till Spring/Early Summer and back at it. Mr Walsh.
NO back number in my book.

While I have huge respect for Donnchadh I think it is wrong that we have not found a serious replacement yet despite dominating at minor and schools level. Winning the junior tournament, winning minor titles, winning Hogan Cups and so on, yet we have few new, young players coming into the set up the last few years. Star and Donnchadh are surely able for another year, but it will make it all the more dangerous when they retire and we have no replacements.

We also see Mayo losing to Dublin where they run their bench at the end of big games and they don't have the required experience to come in!

To stay continuously competitive we need to introduce two or three new players every year to the set up that can take over. We have unearthed no real new starters for a couple of years. Tadhg Morley is arguably the only starter of the last three years. We have introduced other players, but they are not seen as starters. To stay in the running we need speed and youth, but we also need experience. Donnchadh is one of the most experienced players we have and one of the hardest working players in football, but speedy he is not. He's also not invincible and if we put all our cards on one player what happens when he gets injured?

Could anyone give me any tips as to where a fella could get his hands on a copy of the 1975 minor and senior football finals? The minor one is what I am really after whether it be on dvd or a file playable on the computer doesn't really matter.

For all the talk there has been about the Dublin B team, their achievements in the O’Byrne Cup have been very modest – drawing with Offaly and beaten by Wexford.
The team includes a few names that have been mentioned as adding to the first team – B Howard at left corner back who was mentioned by Diarmuid Connolly as one for the future, E O’Conghaile, C Basquel and S Carthy.

The minor one is what I am really after whether it be on dvd or a file playable on the computer doesn't really matter. I recall hearing an interview with a mentor to that 75 minor team a few years back, maybe in 2015. He commented that no footage of that minor final seems to have survived. Neither RTE nor BBC had anything of it (Tyrone were the opposition). I certainly have never seen any clip of it, only some photos from the Kerryman and other papers at the time. They were a fairly useful team after. Funny, sad inspiring indeed. The memories came back and so much that I'd forgotten. It was lovely to see the rapport between him and 3 of his lieutenants at the match in Killarney.

Thought it interesting when the commentator referenced 86,000 spectators in the ground an hour before kick off in one of the old clips - you could nearly feel the excitement. This has been one of the things lost with all ticket games - now patrons can stroll in at their ease mintues before kick off (and the game might even be delayed if your tardyness in arriving is commonplace).

www.radiokerry.ie/moorefield-benefits-kerry-expertise/Moorefield from County Kildare have had a remarkable last few months. The not only won the county title but since then have gone on to win The Leinster Senior Club Championship. There is a strong Kerry connection to their path to an All Ireland Semi Final in February. Former South Kerry and St.Michaels/Foilmore players Eanna and Cian O’Connor have been central figures in their success. The dad Jack – U20 manager is also part of the backroom team. Recently Radio Kerry’s Gary O’Sullivan paid a visit to The O’Connor’s home in St.Finians Bay to chat with the brothers and began by putting it to Eanna that the last few months have been fairly hectic.

Former Donegal All-Ireland winning manager Jim McGuinness has left his role as assistant coach with Chinese Super League club Beijing Sinobo Guoan. McGuinness joined the club last June after signing a two-and-a-half year contract having left Scottish champions Celtic to work under former Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt in the Chinese capital. In a statement online, the Glenties native revealed that he would be starting "a new chapter" in his life closer to home. "The respect and hospitality that I have received since I arrived in Beijing has been fantastic. Every day working at the club has been thoroughly enjoyable," the statement read. "I would also like to thank manager Roger Schmidt for giving me the opportunity to be part of his management team. "It has been an amazing experience working under a top European coach and I have learned so much from him. "I feel my experience in Beijing has set me up for the next stage of my coaching development and I look forward to a new chapter in Europe." www.hoganstand.com/Article/Index/279744

www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/sean-powter-when-i-go-into-every-game-i-believe-were-going-to-win-465544.htmlThe bullish chap that he is, Seán Powter has no hesitation in proclaiming that promotion from Division 2 is the short-term goal for Cork footballers this year. He mentions the All-Ireland quarter-final stages, too, but he understands for now at least that they have to bank on youth. Firstly, there’s the fact Powter’s Douglas club-mate Eoin Cadogan has switched to the hurlers. “Obviously, he had personal reasons and wanted to play with Alan so you can’t really hold it against him,” accepts Powter. Michael Shields’ retirement last week also robs manager Ronan McCarthy of another All-Ireland winning defender as does Alan O’Connor’s departure of a proven midfielder. Cork will also be without the likes of Luke Connolly, Paul Kerrigan and Barry O’Driscoll for at least the opening three rounds of the league, as Nemo Rangers shape up to face Slaughtneil on February 24 in the All-Ireland club semi-final. Aidan Walsh could also be missing early on if Kanturk’s hurlers advance in the All-Ireland intermediate club competition next weekend, while James Loughrey is carrying an ankle injury and veteran forward Donncha O’Connor is considering his future. All things considered, Cork could be missing more than a third of the team that gave Mayo such a scare, forcing them to extra-time in their fourth round qualifier in Limerick, and three of those who were introduced that day in the Gaelic Grounds. McCarthy recently spoke about how that game has created a new air of optimism around Cork football, but at least for now Powter agrees the coming weeks “are a bit of a transition”. Performances, though, will be expected. “We didn’t really give supporters a lot to support us about last year, so I can’t really see a big support at the start, but as long as we just try our best and show a bit of heart, I think people will follow us. People usually follow teams that are going well, so hopefully we can get them behind us. The first game against Tipperary is the goal all year. Get a win under our belt and see how the season goes after that. Last year didn’t go to plan, we probably should have beaten Galway up in Galway and then it just fell apart with Kildare, where they just steamrolled us.” Young footballer of the year nominee Powter was electric against Kerry and Mayo, his runs in the latter game integral to Cork’s ability to stick with the would-be All-Ireland runners-up. “I just went for the game. Some people go in a bit tame and afraid, but I went for it and said it was our only chance, it was do or die. Things went to plan, but not the result. It (the performance) gives us hope, but it was also quite annoying knowing how good you can be and then the two weeks before you play horrendously against Kerry and don’t even show up. It was annoying in that sense, but we’re optimistic for this year. “It was quite annoying seeing Mayo reach the All-Ireland final thinking, ‘We probably should have beaten them that day.’ We know we weren’t really... we didn’t have the final thing there to push on and win it, so that would be the main goal this year,” said Powter, whose debut senior season opened his eyes to how the flak can fly at a team under-performing. “We did take a lot of criticism, last year especially, but most of it was deserved. You can’t really go out and perform like that against Kerry and not expect a backlash.” He feels the lack of consistency last year was down to belief. “I think it’s a mindset, really. You’ve got to take every team as if they’re a Dublin or a Mayo. That’s what we did when we got to the All-Ireland U21 [in 2016]. We thought Clare and Waterford were the best teams in Munster, so we played them like they were the best teams in Munster. It’s a mindset for each game. “When I go into every game, I believe we’re going to win, no matter who we’re playing, so I just hope we bring that same mindset this year and we give Tipperary first a good battle.” There are more Division 2 rivals, such as Clare — straight ahead in this Saturday’s McGrath Cup final in Mallow — a team Cork won’t be disregarding after losing to them in Ennis last March. “They beat us in the league last year, so we won’t be taking them lightly, like we did last year.” The change from U21 to U20 means Powter, 21 in July, misses out on what would be the final year of under-age football at inter-county level. He finds it disappointing in one sense, but it means he can focus more time on Douglas, UCC and Cork’s seniors. He wouldn’t mind receiving another International Rules call-up later in the year, but believes competition for places will be fiercer if Dublin players are available. Powter was speaking at the launch of the Electric Ireland GAA Higher Education Championships.
