GAA Discussion / Hurling in small football counties
November 19, 2023, 11:13:43 AM
As this is mainly a football site , I ask those from the 5 counties of Leitrim, Fernamagh, Longford, Louth and Cavan what they really think about the proposal to stop them playing league hurling and spend the resources on hurling coaching instead. Is this driven from within and does anyone really care about hurling here? Is there a genuine belief that the GAA is to blame for not promoting hurling in these counties or is that a convenient excuse for the actual truth that the county boards would prefer little or no interference from hurling so they can put all their resources into football?
The reason I ask is I hear the 'nobody here cares about hurling' and on the other hand 'the gaa has failed promotion of the game' in the same breath. The truth lies somehwere between.

Hurling Discussion / CORK V CLARE
July 21, 2008, 05:04:22 PM
Hmm. I would normally go for Cork when these two meet but Ive a feeling that this will be a rare chamiobship win for the Banner. Cork on a high, one week to recover, thinkin of KK and Clare will be thinkin of nothing else but revenge for 2005. Clare cant  bad up front as the last day and Joe Deane will not get the room he got against Galway. Clare by a point!

Hurling Discussion / CLARE V LIMERICK

Just in case the few hurling posters on this forum have forgotten, these 2 meet for the first time in th Munster Championship since the epic battle in 96. Wouldnt surprise me if we get a similar game on Sunday although Clare look much more settled than last year and would fancy them to win by a score or two.
