Would love to see Dunloy or Cushendall win the senior hurling at some point.

They haven't won county since what the 80s. About as much chance as us winning Liam McCarthy! Dunloy should breakthrough eventually and I would expect a challenge or two but Ballyhale, ballygunner, na piarsagh and usually what comes from Galway are a bit much.

Cushendall about to drop off when McManus goes or slows down.

If slaughtneil won ulster  club SHC this year, can they be considered in both codes ?

Dunloy the best club team I have seen come out of Ulster, obviously Loughgiel won the big one but that Dunloy team of the 90s (and the early 2000s team) where brilliant

This current Dunloy team need to break the duck in Ulster which is easier said than done obviously as the Slaughtneil hurlers are one hell of a team.

I would have loved to see Neil McManus win one with Cushendall but yeah he will be a massive loss for them when he goes. They had an excellent Feile team this year but obviously those lads are a few years away and at most underage levels Loughgiel are doing very well.

On Loughgiel, I'd love to see their camogs get an All-Ireland. Some seriously quality players but have just ran into what is an excellent Slaughtneil team over the years.

Is there an argument that the Ulster SHC winners have a much handier route into the AI series? A bit like the Kerry footballers, not much competition in the provincial series. Antrim, Derry, Down the only three counties capable of producing senior club hurling.

Eire Og of Carlow, great team mid 90's. Beat  2 finals, Somebody already mentioned the roscommon team which I think lost 4.

It might be an argument if Connacht didn't exist...

The final Eire Og lost to Skibberean was the one they probably should have won. I think 3 of the 4 remaining teams in Leinster this year would be first time provincial winners. But the 4th team will probably win it.

Was at the first game, Eire Og should won it that day, there were better than Skib, replay was way down the country, There were a great club team to come out of a so called weaker County at the time beating Dublin, and, Meath Champions,

According to Wikipedia, teams from Monaghan, Carlow, Meath, Offaly, Kildare, Sligo , Tyrone, Donegal , Clare , Westmeath, Tipp and Longford have won provincial championships but not the All Ireland.
No club from Cavan, Fermanagh, Kilkenny, Leitrim, London, Louth, Waterford or Wexford has ever won a national or provincial title.

Monaghan, Tyrone,  Cavan and Donegal. Ulster is hard to get out of

Meath and Kildare are in the  shadow of Dublin

Tipp could be the first of this group

Hard to believe that no Tipp team have won an AI club hurling title since 1987 and them one of the traditional big 3.

There's a far better spread of winners in the hurling due to the more even-ness of resources available to each club.

The Mayobridge team of the late 90's early 2000s were unlucky.  They won 7 or 8 Co titles but came up against Crossmaglen in Ulster a few times who went on to win All Irelands.  It was a team full of flair with Linden, Coulter Walsh Sexton & co.  The fact Francie Bellew nearly decapitated Mickey Linden in an Ulster match didn't help their cause!

From memory we only played Mayobridge that one time in the Ulster Final when Benny Coulter left Mickey Linden in the firing line with the worst hospital pass you've ever seen. They flattered to deceive and were probably over egged due to the general weakness of Down club football at the time.

Scotstown of the late 70's and Clan na Gael of the early 70's won 3 Ulster's in a row each but never pushed on to win the AI.

Mayobridge were an excellent side and their best chance was probably in 2001 when they should have beaten Ballinderry. The forward line was unreal.
Bryansford were so unlucky in the 70s as they got beaten by East Kerry in the 1971 all Ireland final. That would not be allowed now. But they were some side, Big Oliver Burns, Willie Kane , Eugene Grant, they were ahead of their time is Down club football.

Yes BC1 I'd of course throw ourselves in for this.  Before my time but it looks like that side should really have won one. To lose to UCD after a replay and then Universities to be removed from the competition would have been hard to take I'd say, but sure.

If you take out the hurling counties where clubs have won the All Ireland you still have almost half of counties who have never won a club title.


According to Wikipedia, teams from Monaghan, Carlow, Meath, Offaly, Kildare, Sligo , Tyrone, Donegal , Clare , Westmeath, Tipp and Longford have won provincial championships but not the All Ireland.(10)
No club from Cavan, Fermanagh, Kilkenny, Leitrim, London, Louth, Waterford or Wexford has ever won a national or provincial title. (5)
