The Easter offering of the Limerick GAA magazine has been distributed to the primary school children of the county.
Now in its 13th year, ‘Green and White’ has a superb new glossy look - 32 pages in full colour to commemorate the 125 years of the GAA.
The joint-editors Crowe and Lyons continue to win nation awards for their Limerick GAA Youth Magazine.
The magazine can also be read online at www.thegreenandwhite.com
In the latest publication, and the first of three annual editions, there is a superb four-page interview with Limerick hurling manager Justin McCarthy, a review of Niall Moran and Seamus Hickey’s celebrity fund-raising efforts, a round-up of all primary schools GAA activity and plenty of pictures.
The Green and White is a non-profit publication. Magazines are sold at below cost price. This generates approximately half of the required funding.
The shortfall is made up by subscriptions from every club and through grants from Limerick Development Draw, Limerick County Board, the Divisional Boards and Limerick’s Cumann na mBunscol Boards.
I firmly believe that the magazine has a greater appeal that just school children.
The editors of the Green and White agree and are making enquires to find retailers throughout Limerick to stock the magazine. Interested shop owners are asked to contact Gerry Bennis in the Gaelic Grounds office.
All-County League
WITH the newly restructured All-County Hurling and Football Leagues now up and running the Limerick Leader hopes to be in a position to print a weekly round-up of the fixtures and updated league tables.
All games are scheduled for Tuesday nights, so Leader Sport needs assistance if this venture is to succeed.
To assist the weekly round-up, club officials, PRO’S, team managers, players or indeed supporters are invited to submit scores and one or two lines of interest to joconnell@limerickleader.ie no later than 10am on the Wednesday morning after the round of fixtures on the previous night.
Round one of the football league appears to have run smoothly, but just a handful of results were submitted to the County Board after the first round of the ACHL.
I assume that the relevant fines will be imposed as per Rule 14 of the Master Fixture list.
From a club perspective, surely the cost of a text, phone call or email would be cheaper than the fine in these times of economic uncertainty.
Senior football championship
THE Limerick’s Live 95FM sponsored county senior football championship is just two weeks away now and ahead of the kick-off it’s certainly the most anticipated championship ever.
Of course the presence of the Munster club champions Dromcollogher-Broadford has heightened the interest in the competition this season.
And to defend their county and provincial titles John Brudair’s side face a severe test which will surely bring large crowds to the six games in each round.
All eyes will focus on Group One where the reigning champions are joined by 2007 champions Ballylanders, 2006 champions Fr. Casey’s and 2005 champions Monaleen.
Completing the six-team group are last season’s semi-finalists St. Senan’s and Hospital-Herbertstown.
Group Two could be the launch pad for the 2009 surprise packets. There must be a great incentive for all six teams in this group to reach the knockout stages.
Adare, Newcastle West and Pallasgreen would be seen as the leading contenders, but intermediate champions Ballysteen, 2005 finalists St. Kieran’s and dual senior club Claughaun will also fancy their chances ahead of the first round on the weekend of April 24-26.
