The O'Connor captured it soon after and held it to the mid 16th Century.
Rushing in building the odd castle and getting feecked out again for 500 years.
There's a biteen of hurley stuff in mid and South Ros as a result of those temporary incursions but most of us held our own till 1605 or so.

Seaf, hurley is mainly played in Norman Counties.
We weren't occupied till 1605 so never got immersed in the oul iomáint.

« on: September 20, 2017, 01:31:09 PM »one other big point in the funding debate, is that John Costello prepared the blue prints, put the business case together etc to show how the money was to be spent,Most Counties can't afford to hire chaps with his expertise.
Time for the Central GAA to pay full time Secretary/Administrator for all the small Counties perhaps. Such people would help Co Boards to develop their own blueprints and also oversee the use of fairly allocated €€€€s to ensure they weren't blown on Mercenary Senior IC managers etc.

Throwing a hurl is manly and hurling refs would be castigated if they did anything about it.

Sounds like the Dublin media campaign is swinging into action to
1 get Keegan and
2 switch attention away from O'Gara.

Haiti keep winning World Cups?
Other way around, out of the top 10 most populated countries in the world, 1 of them has won a world cup. Just a small example, im sure there is better comparisons out there.
After all Antrim is the second biggest population County but haven't done anything in football since around 1910.
For one very good reason.

Only Galway Mayowestros and Tyrone as well as Dublin have won U21s this decade.
Most Counties can't afford to have 45 on a panel over the Winter.

How can you stop a team playing keep ball?
Can't pass the ball backwards?

The 1.3 million people in Dublin and especially the 150,000 males between 18 and 35 will stop Kerry's 135,000 people and their 12,500 male 18 to 35 year olds dominating.
