Armagh Club football & hurling

That can't be true. They'd just be a glorified Killeavy B team then, not a real club.

Are there any other clubs in the country that make no effort at underage level?

Yep, Mullabrack!! No underage structure and a lot of ex Ogs and Harps players. Shows no sign of slowing down either as I have heard of a few more players that maybe headin in that direction too. Mullabrack not a big area for GAA and the players going aren't gonna be a big miss to the town's senior teams so it's not a big deal.

But Mullaghbrack used to field underage teams, so they aren't the same.

I don't know the exact politics and don't really need to, what is clear is that a disaffected ex-member of Killeavy is spear-heading this. There is no apparent need for a new club in the area either, so it kind of narrows the scope down that the club has been formed for reasons other than the promotion of Gaelic games. No Underage teams have been registered either from what I can gather, just a senior team.

Unbelievable, you don't know what you're talking about or anything about the situation but feel you can mouth?

How different is he from the majority on the board though, and before you get humpy that's not a personal cut at you!!!

Well it's not BC because others maybe comment on what they hear or maybe rumours, they might be wrong but at least it's based on something.  Fitz has made a strong judgement when he doesnt have a clue what happened in Killeavey, he doesnt even have a rumour or a second hand account base his opinion on.

How exactly am I mouthing? A new club is being formed as a result of a fallout at an existing club. Regardless of who was involved in or what was said, this is not the basis on which a new GAA club should be formed.

I dont want to get in with a big thing with you as it really doesnt matter, I'm just baffled how you can say this:

How can these lads play for a club that has been formed for all the wrong reasons?
How can you have any sense of pride in the jersey given the circumstances?

when you've no idea what the reasons were.  Maybe he has a legimiate reason for falling out with the club? You don't know. 
I'll hold off making judgement on this new club until I hear what's gone on among them and the reasons for it.

I am not disputing he had a legitimate reason to fallout with the club. What I do feel is that it is not within the spirit of the GAA to go and form another club because of it. Ask the Ballygawley folk. For the record I have heard some reasons as to why there was a fallout and on which I base my opinion, but they are from unreliable sources such as hearsay and internet forums

[pintsofguinness]

What were the reasons for the fall out then?

[fitzroyalty]

What were the reasons for the fall out then?

Since they are rumours...

Something to do with the Killeavy IIs team (not the Bs), also to do with players playing for soccer clubs being banned from playing senior football.

[pintsofguinness]

So where does Morgan come in to it then?

[fitzroyalty]

Don't know. Ask someone from Killeavy

[Goats Do Shave]

Ask the Ballygawley folk

Or even the Glencull folk.

Pints you on the blob again?
