Good appointments in both football & hurling.We will be hoping for steady improvement in both codes in 2016.
Good job it was Cian O’Neil who got the job so…..anyway he’s a very highly thought of coach, seen his work personally during time at UL so def think this is a good step in right direction for Kildare, and the mighty Joe Quaid, what a man! best of luck to him, hopefully does good work up dere, from all in Limerick!!
Glen hasn’t had the best track record in county management to be fair and Cian O’Neill has a great CV….. politics prob did play a part but we now have one of the best coaches in the GAA. Hopefully he will get the younger players primed for the championship.
Best of luck Cian O Neill, on wards and upwards.. There is some talent there, it would be great to see it brought on. I cant see anyone getting near Dublin, but Kildare should be a Division 1 Team and in the top 6 or 8 in the Country.
Hurling appointment is great ..but Cian o sullivan should only be a selector at best with the manager been Glen Ryan ..POLITICS
Cian O’Sullivan?
the truth is out there now after the county board meeting last night ..well done to a certain few gentlemen who had the balls to challenge the selection committee ..but the rest of the delegates were afraid to go with the overwhelming support for Glen Ryan and his back room staff of legends ..Sad day for Kildare gaelic football team ..That county board is rotten to the core
