A query - My lads play football with a club and are members of that club. The club provides hurling up to Go-Games. Next year the lads are u12 and will have to play hurling with another neighbouring club. For insurance purposes would the membership of the football club cover the hurling or would we have to pay membership to the second club which plays football and hurling.

I'm a great admirer of how the Kerry Championship is structured. It means that every player in the county has a chance to play in the premier competition in the county and that no good junior/intermediate players are missed by the county management team. Around 2008 I did an analysis of the Tyrone and Kerry senior panels. 78% of the Tyrone panel were made up of players from the senior clubs while 52% of the Kerry Panel were from senior clubs. Of the 28 that togged out for Kerry in the all - ireland final in 2014 25% were from junior clubs. Last year Tyrone had 1 player from a junior club (Stephen O'Neill). I was wondering how it was in the rest of the counties?

just had a look at the 2 games from youtube from 1935 and didn't spot one solo among them. Skip to Cavan semi in 1949 and one brave man attempts 3 solos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaU-Q8MDAbU - Anybody know who first started the solo?
