Northern Towns/villages without GAA clubs

[Our Nail Loney]

Sure there would be little or no demand for a club in moira, they would hardly start one when st micks is just down the road!

[under the bar]

Dungannon doesnt have a club worth mentioning................

I have never heard of Moira having a team.


St. Michael's, Magheralin

Yeah, but I was talking about Moira.


Same parish.

Fair enough but the thread is covering towns/villages and not parishes, but as previously mentioned there is probably quite a few towns with no teams that are covered by another team in the parish.  Theres also the like of Portballintrae and Bready.

Clubs in most counties are organised on a parish basis. Moria and Magheralin are in the same parish and so Moria has a team.

There also used to be a team in Kilwarlin, however this has amalgamated with St Michaels Magheralin.

As far as I remember, George Lavery the great Down corner back on the All Ireland winning teams of 1960 and 1961 played for Kilwarlin.

Gilford, Co Down is that Tullylish?

Is there any clubs near to Jordanstown?

Tullylish is in Laurencetown but takes in Gilford. But probably about time they got their own club - the population is there for it now.

Gilford is in tullylish parish, there used to be two teams, Gilford and Laurencetown. One of Tullylishs main problems over the years has been their inability to entice enough gilford wans outta the pub, bookies, soccer club(in that order) onto the gaelic pitch.

the nearest one would probably be St. Enda's in Glengormley.

St Endas has some size of an area to cover alright!

We may aswell rename the thread towns or villages without GAA clubs but with GAA clubs nearby!

What is your point?   Most GAA clubs have their origins in the parish structure. And most still do. Many parishes cover more than one urban area, but the pitch and clubrooms physically can be in only one location. Just because a village is "nearby", as you put it, does not mean it should be excluded from the catchment area of the club

[illdecide]

Don't think there is any in Lurgan either!

None worth talking about anyway...

V Good Uladh, don't start me on how good you're club is...
