Best Club Rivalries in the GAA

[aroundincircles]

Was a man not beaten to death a number once in a game between Moortown and Ardboe?

think it was moortown and derrylaughan minor match in the sixties.

[magpie seanie]

This will be relevant in the summer as Crossmolina, Ballina and ourselves (Knockmore) are in the same group of the first round of the Mayo championship!

Tasty!

[Katchit]

In Derry the country clubs all hate the 'townies' , that's probably the same in every county though.

[DoYerJob Linesman]

Ballinderry must have a habit of that, they started a big riot in Lavey one day, barrackaded the changing rooms so Lavey couldn't get out.

Check yer facts there lady.

Why what ahave I gotten wrong?

It actually happened in Ballinderry (And I'm guessing DYJL will say Lavey started it also... I wasn't there so I dunno).

Correct, on both counts.

Good local derbies I know of: Wolfe Tones/sarsfields, maghery/portadown, aghagallon/glenavy...

in armagh, all the munchies hate the townies and all the townies hate the townies!

[Farrandeelin]

True, especially when you live right beside the border of a town club, like I do. By Jesus, it's fair rivalry alright!!

In fairnedd the only townies in Derry are Glen, Magherafelt and Dungiven and aside the latter they aren't going to be leaving you quaking in your boots!

What about Coleraine?  Surely the only real town?  Magherafelt are the only senior club i would ever have considered townies (although Limavady unbelievably were senior for a while in the early 90's too) - if you're putting Dungiven and Maghera in, you'd have to stick in Bellaghy and maybe even Gulladuff

Don't worry Steve, I'm on the ball - btw, how can there be a "challenge off the ball", trying to be diplomatic

[Oakleafer93]

Bogball, living in South Derry I forgot about Coleraine..Just did that cuz they beat us last week!!  oj

Supoose with Lavey's state of the art facilities they can be considered a city now!! Do you know it can be seen from the glenshane?

Neighouring Maghera and Magherafelt I can assure you that they are as townie as they come.

Thats right Bog, trying to exercise more diplomacy than Kofi Annan. In fairness it looked to me like a bodycheck but also was told it was a kick, really not sure being on the wrong side but big EP saw red...
