A perfect example of why co boards should be dividing money 50/50 between football and hurling, yes every county wants to win Sam or Liam but the truth is the successful teams are those who spend majority of the county funds on 1 code, you have Kilkenny, Tipp, Waterford, Galway spending most money on hurling while Dublin, Donegal, Tyrone, Mayo, Kerry etc spend most on football. In an ideal world a county who splits the funding 50/50 should have some success at both codes, in hurling we need massive funding at underage level to train our kids and try to get 32 fairly decent teams, in football we need the same but it beyond time that co boards, clubs and players shape up and try to bring their county forward, look at Roscommon, Clare and Tipperary, they are making decent strides forward now is time for the rest to waken up in both codes, use the League to build morale and win games and try to win promotion up to the next division riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 08/01/2017 21:35:19 1944127 Link 0 |

Maybe the pale blue represented it better as another poster said there's a lot of interest in football in Castletown area too and it's well away from the recognised dark blue Hurling area of your original post . It's just that they are are strong at Hurling. Anyway as I said before good work ya know your stuff.

Almost every county has its areas where hurling rules. Dungiven in Derry, Lisbellaw in Fermanagh, Dungannon is making great strides in Tyrone. South Derry has Swatragh, Lavey, Ballinascreen, Slaughtneil all within close proximity. Football still main sport however but there is always a good hard-core bunch of hurling men. In north Derry you've got lynches, banagher and na magha in the city and eoghan rua in Coleraine. Real good hurling people, just need more clubs. christy sting (Derry) - Posts: 262 - 09/01/2017 01:08:09 1944189 Link 0 |

In Fermanagh, Lisbellaw would be particularly strong compare to the rest of the county 1111 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 29 - 09/01/2017 01:38:11 1944190 Link 0 |

Well done. Excellent map. You have Cork very very close. I would say the area just south east of the city (harbour area) is predominantly hurling. Any area straddling the Kerry border would be mostly sky blue I would say. Interesting topic though. Interested to read what others have to say. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 09/01/2017 22:36:32 1944431 Link 0 |

You could move the Cork dark blue area west from Blarney to Coachford (Aghabollogue), go south from there to Newcestown and south again to Clonakilty or slightly east of this.(all the clubs between Carrigline and Clonakilty are strong hurling clubs. I.e. Ballinhassig, Valley Rovers,Carrigline, Tracton, Courcey Rovers, Kilbrittain, Timoleague, Barryroe are all Intermediate. Necwestown, Bandon, Ballymartle are senior hurling clubs.
