Can anyone tell me the difference in not having cup competitions for GAA clubs around the country for U-10,U-11,U-12 & U-13 and allowing cup competions in primary schools around the country (county champs actually go forward to an all-ireland series & a provincial cup competion) the double standards is beyond a farce.

Very good question. You should put it on the main page too. One difference is there's less parents gonna be at the schools games, might be less inclined to get involved in shouting from sidelines. Teachers as mentors, less nepotism picking teams. Don't know if that's a factor or not.
