some clubs struggle to make underage or reserve football teams let alone hurling teams.  Its just the way it is - sure the all ireland ends with the football final.  It is just the more popular of the two.  Even though the hurling final was prob more exciting than the football one.

Ardmore - St Marys
Ballerin - Sarsfields
Ballinascreen - St Colms
Ballinderry - Shamrocks
Ballymaguigan - St Treas

Think this tells its own story.

The sub plot to that story however is the number of football clubs that have had or still have players that play(ed) hurling.

I've played hurling against teams from Ballerin, Bellaghy, Drum, Drumsurn, Faughanvale, Glenullin and Doire Trasna. And wasn't there a St Finbarr's team from the Loup?

youbetterbelieveit

The last two teams to disband their Hurling was Loup and Drum/Drumsurn.

theLoup

yeah the loup use to have a hurling team called st finbars. we just havnt got the numbers round the loup to have hurling team now

Fear Bun Na Sceilpe

Sean Dolans used to have a hurling team too

Top of the hill

Doire Trasna had a team in recent yrs (last 10 yrs or so)

I also played underage hurling against teams from Glenullin and Faughanvale a good few years ago.

couldn't have put it more succinctly myself.

Thanks, MacHinery for that wee bit of recognition when I aspired to walk in the footsteps of that other fine Kilrea man, Cuchulainn. ;)
Kilrea had a senior team in the 1970s for a season or two and I played U-12 with them in 1978.  Lavey beat us in a play-off for the title.
To find his equal an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

joecanning

forglen and steelstown have both got amazing hurling set ups put in place now! only a matter of time before portumna and the likes will be strutting their stuff up round this neck of the woods

Fear Bun Na Sceilpe

Good luck to Lavey in Ulster Senior C'ship on Sunday. Tough match but hopefully we can do it

Do any of you Derry hurlers happen to know where I might get a picture of Kevin Lynch hoisting the cup in Croke Park after Derry U-16s beat Armagh in 1971 or 72, I think.  Was Kevin Lynch on the Derry U-16 team the year before, the one that lost to Armagh in Dungiven?
