This is a misconception. Cullion Pitch is in Mullingar Parish not Taughmon.

Athleague & Tremane from the same parish have met in several senior hurling finals in Roscommon, although last one was early 80's. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 25/10/2016 12:59:23 1928842 Link 0 |
Yes it says "all or part "which leads to this myth which sounds great about the 4 clubs in one parish. Some of its area for drawing players is in Taughmon but not much. The Cullion Hurling Club pitch is in Mullingar parish without doubt. Maybe some of its players are from elsewhere but that goes for every Hurling club in the county.

Cullion is further out though, Oliver plunkets is in town, but cullion is out by grave yard and by rail line and lake.

Perhaps they played in another pitch prior to the eighties that's when I started playing. Cullion was actually the first pitch I can remember playing a game of Hurling in . I'm showing my age now.

Mullingar parish goes out the main road and meets Multyfarnham parish near the diving board. Taughmon is a bit north of the N4. Anyway this is all a bit parochial for the main board!

Many parishes are split by county boundaries. Consequently teams from the same parish compete in different counts. I don't know if such teams ever met in club provential competition. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 25/10/2016 19:24:52 1928980 Link 0 |
Mullingar Shamrocks and St.Lomans have never met in a county senior final. They've met in 4 semis since 2011 and a couple in the 90's. Lomans won last year with Shamrocks winning all the rest. There is no parish rule in Westmeath so it's a complete free for all. The minor final this Sunday between The Downs and Shandonagh will feature many players from Mullingar town, even though their clubs are both on the periphery.

Clearly no shortage of examples of clubs from the same parish meeting in county finals but have two from the same parish ever met in provincial club championship? Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1412 - 29/10/2016 12:43:15 1930005 Link 0 |
Not technically the same parish, but Garrycastle and St.Brigid's met in an all-Ireland semi in 2012. Their catchment areas are only separated by the Shannon

Are there many examples of this? Mullinalaghta/Gowna parish is separated by county & provincial boundaries.

Nah keeper, miles apart. Clonlara is on the Parteen weir, between Killaloe and Limerick city.

It's amazing that parishes especially rural parishes can have 2 clubs operating, a big problem facing some clubs and parishes is numbers and a lot sadly have to amalgamate, where years ago you would never dream of playing or helping out your sworn enemy in the next parish now you have no choice but to join forces to survive, the older generations may hate this but for our youth they accept it easily enough. If you can field 2 clubs in 1 parish the best of luck to ye and hope ye can build stronger for years to come riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 29/10/2016 19:58:54 1930082 Link 0 |
