A serious question which might create a bit of debate! Hurling is a fantastic sport especially at the top level but for dual clubs is it really hard to balance hurling and football? Does hurling hamper hamper football or vice versa. In terms of SFC Kilcoo, Burren, Ford and the Bridge would be recognised as our most successful clubs, they do not have hurling, Is there a correlation? If Liatroim concentrated at one code where would they be at it? Certainly not in division 3 in football!
Should there not be a Mourne hurling club? Camogie seems very strong in that area.
In your opinion, and an opinion I assume based on recent senior football championship roll of honour.
It all depends on your bench mark. I am extremely proud of our ability in the most part to either field or contribute to teams in 4 different codes, as well as provide an outlet for around 40 under 5s in the fundamentals programme each Sunday morning (in the Summer months), and in what we as a club have provided by way of facilities to the local community.
As primarily a football man I would love nothing more than a senior championship win however notwithstanding that I believe I am a member of a very successful club.

With the new restrictions does that mean that u17 intercounty will go ahead?
I take it thats senior leagues, reserve championships and hurling scrapped then?
Very tough on Clonduff but that is the hand we have been dealt with
Not sure on this one.. I think senior GAA is deemed elite level but U17s would still be children. What then for the u20 semi finals happening this weekend?? Because they are over 18 and playing at inter county standard with a few of them involved in their senior setups - are they deemed elite???
