Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Wee Roddy]

I would very much question these figures as well. I think Carrickmores youth membership is well over 500 this number of years

Whats your source for this?

Tyrone GAA Annual Report to County Convention 2024

The figures are for registered members. I'm sure we're all aware that some clubs don't register 100% of their members, keeping the fees withing the club - something which comes back to bite them when All-Ireland tickets are being distributed.
Camogie & LGFA Memberships wouldn't be included. I removed the hurling only clubs.
Interesting to compare size V ranking; many clubs roughly where they "should be" with some over/under achievers

Just saw video of another free-for-all at the Paul McGirr tournament. Burren were the Down team, don't know the Tyrone team involved. Not the first, I remember a famous video circulating some years ago that even an All-Black's forward commented on

Couple of things here.

Registering a male member, to the best of my knowledge (I'm 3 years out of the loop to be fair) doesn't cost anything. When I was looking after things for Ballyholland, fees paid to both county board and central funds (insurance) are based on the number of teams entered, and not on the number of players. So if you've 40 players at say u14 and need 2 teams, the fee wouldn't change whether all 40 players are registered, or just 10.

Also... are Foireann teamsheets not a thing in Tyrone juvenile football? They're now pretty much omnipresent in Down football. Players can't appear on those unless they're registered centrally.

Foireann definitely has some major plus points.

Some clubs use the foireann template, some just use their own excel/word templates. Obviously all players still need to be registered for competitive games (u13 and up in tyrone)

Alot of clubs wouldn't officially register u6/u8/u10 players etc in Tyrone.
