| Good week... Bad week...
MVP award to...
GAA players. In the week when player welfare and grant support was the
hot topic in GAA cirlces, the Armagh senior footballers joined a long
list of teams heading to warmer climates in preparation for the Championship.
The hot weather training camp is aimed at teams who believe they will
last the distance of the May to September Championship season.
As Joe Kernan’s side flew to Spain, Kerry departed for Portugal
while the Mayo footballers and Waterford hurlers are also convinced of
the benefits of a training camp in the sun.
The Meath senior football panel also travel to Portugal next week for
a training camp in preparation for their Leinster SFC first-round clash
with Kildare on May
Red card to...
TYRONE footballers. Tipped as one of three teams alongside Kerry and Dublin
to lift Sam in 2007, Tyrone’s injury crisis has worsened in the
run-up to their Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final against
Fermanagh on May 20.
Owen Mulligan of Cookstown went off injured during the clash with Donaghmore
while Clann na nGael’s Stephen O’Neill limped off against
Kildress with a hamstring injury.
They join Sean Cavanagh (right) on the treatment table, who travelled
to Birmingham recently to visit a rehabilitation centre for his injured
foot.
Long-term injury victim Brian McGuigan suffered another setback in his
recovery from a leg break but is expected to return for the Fermanagh
tie. But with a lack of firepower in the forward line Tyrone may well
have to give up on Sam for another year. |
