In fairness now making a mistake about average age of a team is nothing to be getting worked up about. Probably a young lad running the page who never saw that peake team of 2000 who posted the picture no harm in that. At least there interested enough to put up pictures of the clubs current b team so dont see much wrong. I believe they had one major issue a few weeks back on the peake page but the post was promptly removed.Quote:

With regards general club websites special mention must go to Clonmel town, clonmel celtic and cahir parks websites which are superb

To be honest Balls the post about the average age was from a fella in the committee who would be in his 50's and i suppose the reason for the annoyance was that he still wouldn't have been aware of the 2000 premier league winning team as he wasn't following soccer at the time,he got involved only a couple of years later as his son was playing, yes i deliberately didnt mention the other issue that arose as the comments were subsequently deleted and you would hope a lesson was learned. Just on a side note i would like to say that us old Villa stagers are not dead against everything up there now, David Mcguire and Sean Wade who are two 19/20 yr old lads and are pretty much coaching half of the schoolboy teams, great commitment from those two and they do a good job
Town v Bridge will be tight. Think town will nick it. Looking forward to going to see Wildies v Saints
[QUOTE=Mega Tots;1622914]great to hear 2 young lads are playing such an active role and putting abit back into the club. Great facilities up in peake villa and magnificent to hear they are being put to good use with underage coaching. I have said on here on the past that age, sex, profession etc should not stop people becoming involved in clubs and helping out. whether it be on the commitee, coaching underage or any other role within their local clubQuote:

I laugheed at that post about Tipp Town having A and B games on at the same time, Carrick have 4 junior games on Sunday, 3 at the same time. Its just something you have to deal with.
I'm not into the Gaa at all but it always amazese how clubs have all these different grades like senior, junior etc and can field teams
The most honest and accurate post iv seen in a long time,these guys think they are more important than the players and thats the problem, you ask guys from around the county do they know ted o connor, donal duggan, alan leahy and they will tell you all about these players, ask them who these "famous" committee men are? every club needs people from around the town to help out but there is a difference between helping out and taking over,the sad sad fact is this FANTASTIC youth structure has produced 1 player for the first team in 8 years, an incredible statQuote:

Yes have to agree I thought wildies played very well made it very hard for saints and deserved something out of the game , as for saints not at their best but got 3 points which is always a good sign for any team . Today's game should be interesting I think Celtic, town and cashel to bounce back after last week bansha need points but are struggling big time ( injuries) . The saints b v glen villa game put back to 3.30 to help the glen out as they have gaa commitmentsQuote:

I was very worried but two games in and I know it's very early but they have shown enough to suggest that this season could be a good one.
