Imagine being fixtures secretary in Cork!!!!

What constitutes an adult football team in a county though?

It must count reserve teams aswell?
Yeah must do. Theres not 70 adult football teams in the Armagh leagues. And got to be more than 6 u20's.

johnnycool

there's no way there's 23 adult hurling teams in Down even taking into account senior teams with reserves and juniors...

Kilkenny also have more football teams than nearly half the country has hurling.

Theres a lot of variables at play. Even in hurling strongholds the number of players playing Hurling does not equate with the interest in the game. I would say hurling in Cork and Clare is much greater than 60% in terms of public interest and support but maybe closer to 60 in terms of participation.
