Longest Distance to Travel for a Club Game

DownFanatic · July 31, 2013, 12:56:15 PM

What is the longest distance a club may have to travel in your county for a club game? I seen on Tyrone thread there that Urney would face a near two hour journey to play Moortown.

In Down the longest journey would prob be the 60 mile trip from An Riocht to St Paul's. around an hour and a half to get there.

Say ... Malin v Kilcar 300km (188 mile) round trip. You'd do well to do it in 2 and a half hours each way.

Shannon Gaels (blacklion) is miles from anywhere in Cavan.

Kingscourt to Shannon Gaels would be the longest trek across the County. Takes around 1hr 45 minutes

Belmullet to Ballahgaderreen be near 2 hrs

Easily would have to be Cork. If Goleen were to play Mitchelstown it would be a 103 mile journey.

The longest in Kerry would probably be Tousist to Tarbert at 77 miles

Ballahgaderreen to ballycroy would take longer if you include a hour or so to find the Ballycroy pitch

Malin to Glencolmcille a wee bit longer. Over 100 miles each way

Yeah, I picked 2 teams that are in the same division in the league this year - just as a real example.

Tut, tut, don't even know your 'own' (?) county (from AA Route Planner):

From: Coornagillagh, Tousist, County Kerry
To: Tarbert, Tarbert, County Kerry
Time: 2 hr 4 min
Distance: 76.2 Miles

From: Waterville, County Kerry
To: Tarbert, Tarbert, County Kerry
Time: 1 hr 58 min
Distance: 79.5 Miles

I'll keep you right!

In Galway I'm guessing it's Renvyle to Ballinalsoe.

144 Km and a 2 hour 13 minute drive according to the AA.

derry you are probably lookin at ballinderry in the south til magilligan in the north... about 50 miles or so and well over a 2hr round trip

Gabriel_Hurl · July 31, 2013, 02:31:44 PM

Played a junior game in Montreal earlier in the summer. 1080km round trip

clootfromthe21 · July 31, 2013, 02:45:53 PM

Although not in the same county, they play in the same club league, Ballycastle to Portaferry is 133.55 Km

Can't see Ballinderry playing Magilligan anytime soon but Ballinderry to Steelstown or Coleraine (Portstewart) would be something similar.
Though compared to some other counties these are relatively short trips!
