RayCee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 A interesting insight into the work being done in Galway: https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/59978813 5 1 My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Great read!! Excellent work being done indeed. I would love to visit Galway and see a match there some day! To be honest, I don't think they stand a chance against Pilkington. But that shouldn't matter, the fact they are even playing is a great achievement. Hopefully they can become mainstays in the Challenge Cup and eventually play a home tie (and get their first win)! But for now, one step at a time. I hope they enjoy the whole experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't get a home tie. Galway were first out of the hat against Pilkingtons but apparently Cup rules state that non-British teams must always play away. They were looking to fundraise 5000 Euros to meet costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as the rules currently stand. That is why I said hopefully it may happen at some point in the future. Edited January 14 by langpark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 To me you’re either in the cup or not, Pilkington should have to travel to Galway, with Galway picking up half the costs if necessary. I imagine Pilkington would relish an away trip abroad too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t the travelling team get something back from the gate receipts? My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

Still sounds like a decent effort from the Tribesmen. Games can get away from you at any level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayCee Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 They gave it a crack in the first half but the second half would have been tough trying to maintain it. What an experience for them though. 1 My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

Match costs would swallow up the gate receipts. 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
