Louth Exile

Couldn't see myself supporting arch rival clubs. A good number of our club travelled to Navan a couple of years ago to cheer for Mattock Rangers in Leinster final. Although I didn't notice one from other Louth clubs doing the same for us last year!!

I would go see the Pats our county champions in their games this year if it was convenient. (although they are nt going to get any support from their neighbouring club, cooley kickhams!)

Agree with MS, it depends on who the county champions are!

Same as Seanie, would support the majority of Sligo clubs, bar one or two. Mary's definitely one of those. Will happily cheer on Tourlestrane, Harps etc., bearing in mind that we don't have too much history with them, having been out of Senior for so long. Wasn't too disappointed to see Curry beaten last year all the same.

I always like to see errigal or carmen doing well in Ulster - this year Id like to see our champions go on and do big things, but St Galls have only gotten better since their last Ulster Club run.

I'd be great to see any side from Fermanagh winning a provincial title. Newtownbutler have dominated the league in Fermanagh for years and deserved a county title. They'll find it hard though, success in Fermanagh must be taken into context when you consider the number and size of the clubs. I wish them well though.

I would always back the club team representing the county....though mainly because the better a club team do the more likely we are to get a few new decent players come through to the county set-up as a result.

Dont necessarily agree with that tb. In 2001, without the ballinderry contingent (well really big Niall and Enda), we dropped to Div 2 and it took us 3 f@ckin years to get back up! Its only the last couple of years that B'derry have really made a big impact on the county set up with the exception of the aforementioned duo and maybe Deets. Additionally, I dont think S'Neil or Loup's sojourns into the ulster championship have done that much for the county set up. Just my opinion.

But to answer the question I generally have and generally would go to the games and support the county reps.

Have always supported Cross once they got out of the county.  Can't remember from before hand, might be different if it were another North Armagh team though

Always support them in both hurling and football. I've travelled Ulster to follow Mayobridge and would always head to Casement Pk to see the hurling championship.
I would also support any Ulster team in the all Ireland series.

Once any team gets out of Tyrone and into the Ulster scene, I always back them. It gives other clubs around them inspiration and motivation, showing them it is possible to take that next step.

The time Gortin got out of Tyrone in the Intermediate Level, I backed them the whole way.
