i think the great jack lynch has 5 hurling and one football all ieland as well as about 15 county titles as a dual player with glen rovers. JBM would be up there as well.peter canavan didnt play hurling at senior level only as a minor for killyclogher, but i hear he was promising though.

Peter as an all rounder would pale in comparison with the Downeys from Derry, and Mcgilligan and big Geoffrey.

In Antrim, Andy McCailin and Aidan Hamill would be well up there, but there are a lot of very good dual players in the county's history, even today with Magill, Stewart, the McGourty's, Closes ........

Leighton Glynn. Class act at both sports. Pity he's with such a weak county.

Alan Keirns of Galway. One of our most consistent hurlers over last few years! Thankfully concentrating on his hurling for the remainder of his career.
