BennyCake

Clifden is further west than the Arans. Don't know the Southern one. Maybe the Cork lads know.

Seamus

Valentia Young Islanders may be the most western, Mick O'Connell, Ger O' Driscoll and Ger Lynch played for them. It is know as the closest Irish village to America.

I was thinking An Gaeltacht on the Dingle peninsula was further west.

Antrim Coaster

Ballygalget more east than Portaferry. Johnney Cool could verify.

QuoteWhat the fook does that mean??

Mitching from school the day the geography class did lat and long?

Basically the Skellig pitch is about 400m further west than the Gaeltacht one, and 2Km further west than Valentia.

There wasn't much in it then.

So, we have...

N: Malin, Donegal
S: Goleen, Cork
E: Ballygalget, Down
W: Skellig Rangers, Kerry

Keep those in mind for the auld pub quiz.
