QuoteNo teams in Sion Mills, Victoria Bridge, Artigarvin, Leckpatrick, Ardstraw or Bready all around Strabane.

Leckpatrick has Owen Roes and as I said earlier Sion would be catered by Urney.  Ardstraw would be catered by newton or the derg, and bready could be catered by clann na gael.  Although, there wouldnt be too many non-huns inbready or ardstraw.  People from Victoria would head to newtownstewart.  What about places around Lurgan, Armagh.  The like of Waringstown, Dollingstown etc

The question was towns or villages without a GAA team, Sion, Victoria Bridge, Leckpatrick, Ardstraw, Bready, Magheramason, Newbuildings,etc.. HAVE not got Gaelic teams, a team a couple of miles away who would draw support doesn't count, given the question!!!

Annsborough - Has Annsborough not got a team. If they have folded then Aughlisnafin or Castlewellan would be the local teams.
Annalong - Glassdrumon sp?
Ballynahinch - St John's or Teconnaught
Bangor - St Pauls
Comber
Donaghadee
Dromore - Dromara???
Hillsborough
Kilkeel
Loughbrickland - Aghaderg
Moira - St Michaels Kilwarlin
Newcastle - Bryansford
Newtownards
Portavogie

stpauls

st. paul's are an amalgamation of holywood, bangor and newtownards, so would cover anyone from those areas!!!

So St. Pauls are based in Holywood, that is not Bangor or Newtownards, those two places DO NOT have a GAA club.
This is an interesting thread but can we keep it to the point, please!

No wonder the northern teams are so successful. From what I can make out the whole  of the 6 counties is covered by a GAA club.

There are massive areas of the South without any GAA, particularly in Dublin and in particular the inner city and the southern coastal strip of the County.

Many towns such as Naas,Portlaoise,Tullamore, Ennis ,Galway city etc are covered by very few GAA clubs.

By that definition, there would be loads of places that have no GAA clubs, even places like Creggan, Mountfield and Rouskey in Tyrone which really are too small to keep a club going on its own, not to mention Benburb
