Welcome to The Green and White Website

The Throw In
The Green & White is sixteen but we won’t be having an MTV style My Super Sweet Sixteen party to celebrate! No, the G&W Crew might throw a few snowballs and crack open a Curly Wurly or two in celebration but, other than that, it will be business as usual for the coming year! That means plenty of Limerick GAA news, views and photo features from Limerick schools and clubs between now and the Summers Holidays. Plus, of course, the usual mix of distinctive G&W features that make your favourite magazine Limerick’s top-selling sports publication.

Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Competitions
On page 20, there’s a full round-up of results from each division’s hurling finals as well as results of County and inter-divisional competitions. Pages 22 to 29 feature photographs of many of the teams who contested this year’s finals. Elsewhere, we focus on the Green and White Shield and the Leader Cup.

GAA, Rugby, Basketball, Rounders and Cricket
There’s no doubt that people who play and organise different sports can learn a lot from each other. In this issue, Harry Coyne, a long-time senior basketball player and now a noted underage coach, shares his views on the advantages of being a basketball and Gaelic football ‘dual player’. Former Limerick hurling goalkeeper, David Bulfin outlines the rules of rounders for our readers. A quick look through our own archives prompted us to reprint photos from the past featuring current Irish international rugby players playing football and hurling for their schools, the City or the County.

Looking Back
Retired teacher, Ted Motherway (JFK Memorial School) has a fascinating tale to tell about legendary Cork hurler, Christy Ring. James Lundon is back again this year to share a few more gems from his extensive collection of GAA programmes with us. There’s a History Gallery too (page 30); we are interested to know what readers think of this idea.

And Lots More…
Setanta McFanta is still a legend in his own helmet, his misadventures continue on page 33. Jackie and Jill make their debut on page 34. There are photos of various Limerick teams to peruse too--our photo-features on the fantastic Under 21 team and the 2011 Primary Go games teams are well worth checking out. And, if you still have time to spare, there’s The G&W Prize Crossword, puzzles and quizzes to entertain you. They’ve said it before but we’ll say it again—it’s some magazine for one magazine!

Luimneach Abú!
