Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "So those 4 teams would have the same dominance at senior level? It's not Just a numbers game."
It's more than a numbers game you need quality is well.. however the fact is only for a recent dip into the transfer market the united parishes wouldn't have won the last 2 county titles despite all their numbers…..

It's definitely not just a numbers game, look at the spread of different winners before the two Hughes brothers and then Rory Beggan came along.. the pair of lads are just a different level in terms of physicality and skill than everyone else in the county - only McManus who's a generational talent and a physical specimen himself really challenged them for about 10 years there but now they're starting to slow down Ballybay managed to pip them.

I can see Scotstown falling back into the pack over the next few years when the boys inevitably walk away.

Again if it was just numbers and parish size then a few of their near neighbours would be competing too, but there's just too many poorly run clubs around them to challenge them for now.

Any word on the outcome of Blayney v clones? Rumours abound that both teams are being disqualified and harps advance to final

Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "Ah poor auld Tom Smith never heard of the parish rule on which the GAA was founded on. Need to educate yourself there lad."
I believe Monaghan would be one of the few counties able to follow this due to the size. It's a bye law which is generally used for U18s... it's not a general GAA rule.

You would advocate for a the Hughes brothers to be brought up to Threemilehouse when they were children, with no attachment there and Kilmore training grounds 3 minutes drive away and them attending school in Urbeshanny in Scotstown. You believe they should have played for Seans?

You are that bitter thats what you want..

Bit of a understatement

Clones v Blayney result is irrelevant anyway. Be as well
Letting harps through to final as neither team will
Go any further. May as well not bother with championship game either sure. Enough people talking out their backsides so no point having games

Hard to believe for the senior league and intermediate 1/4 finals that no linesmen were on duty… if they had of been the incident in Blaney game wouldn't have happened as no way would clones water boy have been allowed to stand where he was all game….
