Senior Inter County Hurling Permits

[youbetterbelieveit]

An interesting topic for the non-Liam McCarty cup teams.  There has been a few transfers, any more high profile one's been made?

This is the link to the information:
http://www.gaa.ie/page/2009_club_transfers.html

The current count is
1 Galway player to Cavan
2 Offaly players to Longford
1 Westmeath player to Louth
1 Limerick player to Louth
2 Tipperary players to Meath
1 Wexford player to Kildare

No particularly high profile players in 2009 changing counties compared to the previous year where you have:
Eoin Brislane (Toomevara/Tipperary) with Meath,
David Kennedy (Loughmore-Castleiney/Tipperary) to Kildare
Paddy O'Brien (Toomevara/Tipperary) to Kildare
Leo Smith (Portumma/Galway) to Westmeath
James O'Brien (Bruree/Limerick) to Kerry

More Tipp men coming our way. I suppose its good to see in a way, a bit of success for the county could only be a good thing for the game.

think it's daft idea, counties need to develop their own players.

Yeah, I can imagine for Meath lads who have worked hard to be kept of the panel by these new recruits it would piss them off. But unless we got a major investment in the game like they had in Dublin that might improve our fortunes and help get more young lads playing the game.

I cannot think of one plus point in this system.We find it discourages people transferring to us in Warwickshire because they can take this option. Once again the GAA bring in a system that they wouldnt dream of bringing in at the top level.

all they want is the inter county grant??
