NY GAA: Galway and Cavan the big winners in transfer window

Traditionally the toughest division to win, there are at least seven come playoff time that could go all the way.

The new division has a new board with Terry Connaughton (Roscommon) the chair, John Phelan, (Rangers) the vice chair, and Seamus Collins (Mayo) the secretary and rep to the schedule.

Kudos to the men for stepping forward for their jobs, but alarming that no new blood is stepping forward in roles.  All clubs in this division are invited to a meeting this Thursday to sort out their schedule. Bring a copy of proposed schedule for all the delegates at 7:30 at the Riverdale Steakhouse.

For the juniors there is some new blood on the way. Hold-overs from last year are Rockland, St. Barnabas, Donegal, FDNY, Monaghan and Celtics.

Tyrone is coming in with a junior side to supplement their senior one. It’s fantastic to see them hold on to the fringe senior players by setting up a second team.

Westmeath are back with a junior side. New York PRO Joan Henchy said, “It’s brilliant to see them return. They were a huge asset to the association in both hurling and football in the last three decades.

“We also have Setanta from upstate slated to join the juniors, and on the heels of Tyrone’s announcement it will make for a competitive division.” Donie O’Sullivan is the chair for 2010.
