Replying To MuckrossHead: "I will say one thing about Football in Kilkenny, I know a lad who plays with Railyard there Co Champions.

When your county has more adult hurling teams than Kk have adult football teams then you can come on here giving off about KKs poor record in football. Don't believe the instigator of this thread can talk bet Kk have more football teams than Carlow have hurling teams. As for Poor f'n Cavan, didn't know it was a county, dont see their name listed anywhere in the national hurling leagues. Do they play in the British league?

Clubs nowadays tend to have lots more youth teams etc. No reason why football counties couldn't do more to promote hurling, and conversely. 2 great games. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 24/03/2017 14:47:48 1970722 Link

We are well aware in cavan that nearly nobody plays hurling. You cannot compare it to Kilkenny where Football is widely played. There is no need to get vulgar and insulting. At least in Cavan everyone wants to play for the county , there is no constant in-fighting like you have in your own county. So don't go lecturing us on GAA, thank you. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 25/03/2017 23:04:44 1971038 Link
What I find most surprising is all these posters here claiming to want smaller counties to do something about the plight of hurling don't even know the huge steps the Cavan county board made in order to rejuvenate hurling in the county. I think until a bit of self-educating is done, such posters are best ignored. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 26/03/2017 09:56:58 1971084 Link

That's why the likes of Ballymachugh hurling has disbanded. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 26/03/2017 17:26:08 1971256 Link

Replying To keeper7: "Disbanding the senior hurling team?" Is this a positive or negative? It did give €70k extra a year to the football U21s though. Does anyone really care? That's the bigger issue. breffni666 (Cavan) - Posts: 294 - 27/03/2017 20:44:36 1972023 Link

The only two Cavan hurling I can think of in recent memory were: 1. Doing away with their senior hurling team 2. Seanie Johnston coming on as an injury time sub in a local Kildare club league came so he could be eligible to play for the Kildare senior football team. Cavan, those in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. Until next year and our renewal of the Kilkenny football argument xxx Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 28/03/2017 01:56:57 1972108 Link
Replying To cavanman47: "Jesus! Buff Egan would be proud of that rant! Have you ever wondered if the element of hurling snobbery which doesn't exist to the same level in Gaelic Football might contribute to the level of interest generated within those counties? One certainly gets the impression, from the outside looking in, that Kilkenny consider football to be a sport only fit for poor hurlers." cavanman Lets be honest cavan are nether good at football are hurling.

Hogan 35. That was a stupid arrogant comment about Cavan GAA. They are as loyal to their county, and it's tradition as any county. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1741 - 28/03/2017 15:55:14 1972328 Link
