A-Z of the year that was 2011
A - Anthony Cunningham has had the sort of 2011 that any manager could only dream of. After steering his native Galway to u21 All-Ireland glory in September, the two time All-Ireland winner was announced as the new Galway senior hurling bainisteoir. He also found time to guide Garrycastle to a third county title on the trot en route to seeing his side become the first Westmeath club ever to win the AIB Leinster club championship. Not a bad year’s work.

Younger players with notions of grandeur
When things are going well for a team every previous match or training session throughout the season is seen as having been a signpost towards success and glory. On the other hand when things are not going so well, we very often forget to scrutinise exactly what may be the reasons for failure. I have spent the last few evenings looking back on Crossmolina’s season identifying the little things that led to our current fight for survival in division 1A of the senior league. Last year we won the league at a canter, without losing a single game. This year we drew four games, lost a few, lost another by a couple of points to an opposition that were reduced to 14 men for the entire second half. We did manage to win a couple by the skin of our teeth but now find ourselves in a play off situation with Ballinrobe and Westport to see who is demoted to division 1B along with Burrishoole.

Coady is a class act all around
In 2004 as All Ireland weekend approached the Mayo senior football management discussed the option of getting in a guest speaker to have a chat with the footballers before we lined out against Kerry. Certain individuals were suggested. . . the usual suspects from the various codes of sport. In recent times lots of teams have used big stars/names as they seek to gain the edge on match day. The likes of Roy Keane, Bernard Dunne and Keith Wood have all being invited to provide words of wisdom and reassurance on the eve of big matches. We invariably hear about the wonderful job these guys did if, and only if, the team manages to go on and achieve victory.
