2 Foreword On behalf of the Hurling Committee Executive, we are pleased to present our Fixtures Plan for the year This plan of course is not cast in stone and many variables during the course of the year, including, Inter County games, Football games, unavoidable postponements, may involve deviation and thus re-scheduling by Hurling Fixtures Workgroup in consultation with the CCC. We thank the Clubs for making their pitches available for use and request that pitches are properly lined, flags provided and that no more than the maximum permissible number of Players/Officials and Management are permitted inside the pitch enclosure. We also draw your attention to bye law relating to Videoing of games and The Respect Initiative. In advance I would like to take the opportunity of thanking all Match Officials, Stewards and Gatemen, without whom, our games could not take place. We thank our Competition Sponsors, namely, Salthill Hotel, Pier Head, Gullane s, Challoner Trophies, Bus Éireann and McCarthys Kilbeacanty. Your continued support and financial contribution is much appreciated. A sincere thank you also to all who have so generously devoted their time towards the promotion of GAA in Galway and best wishes to all clubs in the 2015 Hurling competitions. Mise le meas, Micheal O Lorcain Cathaoirleach 1
