Surely playing for your local club is the whole point of the GAA, if you can pick and choose between clubs the whole point is gone. If you choose to move to a place then you have to take this on board.


I agree with you the small clubs especially thoes near the big towns get hit all the time .

Let them play for whoever they want.  If there only young they should be allowed play on the same team as their friends.

Agree, I know people who sent their kids to one club over another to save face with friends and family, let the child be with his / her mates.

ultimately there mates will become the ones they play football with. i play for a club that is not one of the clubs i live beside and I benefitted from having mates from the club and also the banter with mates who play for other clubs. I believe clubs should be family orientated and one should play for the same club as their father or mother are from.

Complete bullshit, their mates are the kids they play with from their area or the kids they see every day at school, not a bunch of kids they see once or twice a week.
