It wasn't the fact that Bellaghy wasn't part of the Curry GAA club area it was because the players in question had already played for Charlestown already that year in the under 12 competition and therefore couldn't play for another team.

Paddy we didnt go across any border to get costello, he works and lives in Sligo. Tom parsons lives in Sligo goes to college in sligo, totally different to costello.

When i went to University in Aberdeen and i lived there, so thats makes me Scottish then

But Anto your club basically pushed them into Charlestown over an u14 tournament, ye could of bit the bullet, plenty of illegal stuff happened in Sligo over the yrs. Ye objected to serve yereselves at the expense of Sligo and thats the reality, it was petty. So any player who previously played with Charlestown cant change his allegance to his actual club or tour will object, ive actually heard Parson trained with Curry but couldnt play with them because of tours precedent.

A disastrous objection and shot us in the foot big time.

Paddy seriously man, you dont got to support your county so for starters you have little respect and now you posting embarrasing wind ups on main and our board. I can see what your trying to do but parson and costello are completely different situations and the facts dont lie.

But Curry had broken the rules. They had played these players who had already played for Charlestown. If they had got these players before they had played for Charlestown there would be no problem.
We didn't push anything or anyone these lads were already playing for the Mayo club. Its up to our club officials to look after the interest of the club.

Sligonian, whats the situation with the cliffony area and the donegal and leitrim. Is there ever any difficulties or is it just that the South just has more intense rivilary and competition?

Anto Curry were trying to get kids involved from their club area in Bellaghy who previously played with Ctown correct is that illegal?, they succeded until tourlestrane messed the whole thing up. The fact there are kids who may play for Ctown at u8s, u 10s and so and when they get a mind of there own they realise there from and want to play with CURRY and SLIGO and what are tourlestrane gonna say "eh no you have to play with Ctown and mayo for the rest of your life because you did at u12" How do tour know they werent commited to Curry indefinitly from that point on? What interest of the club did ye look after, the winning of a u14 tournament?, Tourlestrane have to concede that Curry are well within there rights to CLAIM bellaghy players. Ye probably cost them Parsons and the Mulligans and cost us too which is a disgrace. Do ye care that it was partly yer fault we lost talent for the county team? Do you accept my point?

Ye CERTAINLY screwed Sligo but sure as long as yer happy in Tourlestrane making all the clubs around yee weaker so yeve a better chance then thats OK. I would never condone a self serving atitude of the clubs interest at the expense of the County. NEVER.

Sligonian time to stop this one man crusade. YES IT IS ILLEGAL -the lads played in another county at under 12 level in the same year. Tourlestrane didn't mess anything up - they were well within their rights to object as Curry were breaking the rules. There would have been no issue if these lads were playing for Curry ONLY at that age group. Curry are well within their rights to select players from Bellaghy and some Bellaghy natives do play with Curry however a player who has already played with a club cannot play with another club at the same grade in the same year (that was the basis of Tourlestranes objection). If the lads wanted to change club the following year and play with Curry they could have done that and their would have been no grounds for objection so long as they didn't also play for another club of course. Mulligan and another lad (forget his name) played with Sligo minors a few years ago so these lads can decide to play with their native county anyway even if they are playing in another county. Time to put an end to this now Sligonian EVERYONE is sick of listeing to it. We must look to the future and ensure future young lads from that area are brought up playing Sligo club football

club comes first,over county anyday,any cliub player will tell you that.
county doesn't give a stuff about us,always messing the clubs around. looking back on it now,maybe tour were wrong to do that but i completely agree with where they are coming from, why would they want curry to be stronger?

see, i thunk whether or not these play with curry isnt reallt relevent. the county can still get them to play for sligo even if they play for charlestown. mulligan would go very close to mayo team and imo get on it and walk onto ours if he could be persuaded. he doesnt play for mayo for whatever reason, he was at trials and everything but just stopped and gave up on it, he def has the talent

Alright Anto, point taken, I thought it was different yrs and that they were commited to Curry going forward but maybe I was miss informed.

Too be honest I will always put County first. Especially when your from club thats almagmated with rivals and internal politics.

I understand your point brett but it would be alot easier to get them to play with Sligo if there playing with Curry. Problem is too would the county underage managers pick them if they play with Ctown.
