What if each county could choose either hurling or football and enter the league and championship of only that sport? What would the leagues and championships look like? Kilkenny would clearly choose hurling and many counties would obviously choose football. What about the others? Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1029 - 01/07/2017 17:56:21 2008421 Link

Replying To Whammo86: "Hurling Kilkenny Waterford Tipp Clare Wexford Limerick Uncertain but probably all more likely hurling Cork Galway Antrim Offaly Carlow Football all the rest, with a small question mark over Laois" Would Limerick's #1 sport not be rugby?

Replying To realdub: "Cork would choose hurling wouldn't they?" Yes, but West Cork is all football so their players would play for Kerry (if any would make the team of course). BaldyBadger (Cork) - Posts: 311 - 02/07/2017 00:55:27 2008711 Link
Also to make expand on my point, many counties would have football or hurling areas. Sometimes because of geography, Offaly and Laois hurling strongholds in areas close to Tipp and Galway for example. However, Kerry hurling area is very close to the part of limerick that happens to be strong footballing country. Or even the part of Tipp that is football (although most the county is overwhelmingly hurling) is right next to the hurling heartlands of Cork, Waterford and Kilkenny.

Louth would def be football anyway. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 07/07/2017 16:12:39 2012052 Link
