Yeah I know, but considering its a nightmare to get a team together for something that was a main focus last year, I'm not surprised at the poor attendance at Galway
Hopefully with the extra training and focus that's planned for freestyle next year we'll have a better attendance next year, but basing the clubs commitment on one competition is a bit harsh!

Peter, I'd just like to ask which Varsities you're talking about here?
Surely not Varsities 2012 where UCD finished 2nd, our highest finish in many years, or 2013 where we (with thanks to a good contribution by yourself) finished 3rd?
The sentence I quoted above insults every member of this club who puts time and effort into organising, helping out with and taking part in Varsities, our main event of the year.
Perhaps wasting your time belittling the efforts of other people isn't the best course of action when you see an area in which the club is lacking. With a little bit of time and effort you could have a group of people heading down to Clifden any weekend you like. That may involve countless texts and planning the trips more than 2 days in advance but as you can tell from the polo attendance, a bit of planning goes a long way.

To be honest guys, I think ye are all overreacting. Peter makes a valid point that without practice now, we won't do well in the freestyle in Varsities this year. Peter is just trying to giddy up and motivate people into doing it. Fair enough, people are busy, but I do believe there us a lack of interest almost in doing competitions in Freestyle. I don't think Peter is belittling the efforts if the club a much as the individual members who aren't making any effort. Again, I think that ye are overreacting, and if you can get offended by such a comment, then you should take some of the advice thrown around the club and man the fuck up
