Speaking last week, Burns said the price to amalgamate the GAA with the Ladies Gaelic Football (LGFA) and Camogie Associations (CA) would be considerable.
GAA president Jarlath Burns “It's going to cost over half a billion as an association to do that.” It would probably cost upwards of Euro 200 million to integrate road bowling.  |

Apart from potential disruption to traffic , road bowling is a good way to while away a few hours at little cost , and it probably gives an opportunity to some to get involved in sporting activity . The only people who would object to it are other road users , but I suspect that they suffer less disruption than we motorists do weekly in Belfast with "parades" and pointless marching commemorations . And cone/digging activity .

Just watched the 2026 GAA final.
They need to tweak the scoring, Unders is 3. It needs to be 6/8/10. Scoring an under should be equal to the number of pro rata overs based on previous results. So if in last 10 years 1 under is scored against 10 overs,the 1 under should be worth 10 points. This then creates the tactic of choosing either option. Otherwise they just knock it long to score an over,so it becomes long tennis. You want teams to try either based on the play,rather than choosing easier option of booting it long. All sports tweak rules to evolve as teams evolve,it used to be2 points for a win in football. Everyone loves tradition,but progress trumps this. |
