Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Stickittotheman]

There is not 4k playing Gaelic football, where u get that?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-60164401

Its a few years old now but around 4k is probably close to it.

That's the Derry City and Strabane council area. Not even remotely the same numbers as the city, and a large number not even in the same county.

What, the GAA heartlands of Newbuildings? Or Artigarvan with a population of about 200. There are almost 5k playing Gaelic football in the council area- shave off about 1k outside of the city. It isn't as if the areas have massive populations and Strabane would be primarily a soccer town as well.

I can't believe you've attempted to double down on that to be honest.

Just to clarify you think there are 4x more playing gaelic football in Derry City than in Strabane, Newtonstewart, Castlederg, Owen Roes, Glenelly, Clann na nGael, Ardmore, Slaughtmanus, Claudy, Craigbane and half of Banagher combined?

Fair enough my Maths is out. Way out.

Maybe you included Muff in your calculation as a Derry City club?

Did he say it was gonna be powerful, thought provoking, unforgettable

There will be plenty of players changing direction if it is on.
I see the minors won in the league yesterday - does anyone have or know of a list of players and their club sides? I can find the 2025 squad but not 2026.

Just on the chat about Derry City, what is the craic with Culmore Cú Chulainns? They were founded fairly recently in the city weren't they? Were they a break away from another club, or how did they come about?

Started up by a handful of Gaels to cover the Culmore village and surrounding areas
As far as I know they've acquired land down on the waters edge and are working through red tape (what I don't know). The land will include a big community indoor hall according to someone who was at an open meeting a while back...will be great for that area as there's a huge amount of houses and wains about

Only link to Steelstown is they tried to block their formation at every turn

Thats sounds good of them, I thought they were the trailblazers for GAA in the city.

Turns out only if your wearing Steelstown colours.

At least in Neils next speech he can say "theres no GAA in the city because we made dam sure it didn't take off"

Keeping someone down doesn't push you up the ladder.
