They're out to get us on all sides FFS
At least the Laythrums didn't get Cortober or the main part of Rooskey or we'd be effed altogether.
Don't all those west of the Shannon in Athlone play with Clann na Gael ?
Depends. St. Brigid's eats into some outlying areas of Athlone, Paraig Pearses are in the Monksland area. Clann is actually only two half parishes wedged between those two clubs.
Just to correct, Pearses is about 10km from Monskland. Monksland entirely falls within Clann na Gael, and St Brigids doesn't even touch any of the urban part of Athlone. You have to pass through Clann to get to Brigids if you leave Athlone.
It's really not that simple. Brigid's success means I know of a good few families who moved to the area that chose them, nevermind people from Kiltoom moving to houses closer to Athlone. Boundary lines are far from clear-cut in urban and semi-urban areas.
Indeed, isn't Ganleys stores at the roundabout at the start of the Roscommon road in the Brigids catchment area for example. As for the Garrycastle/Athlone divide on the other side of the river
How did an All-Ireland final thread end up discussing this ?!
It has to be kept interesting somehow cause there is only so many ways you can say Mayo haven't a hope of wining this match!
