Going by population Kilcar would be there or thereabouts in Donegal. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 23/12/2017 16:45:44 2065931 Link 0 |

Na Rossa (Lettermacaward) is the only club I know that would be smaller than Kilcar in terms of population. Pettigo would have a fairly small pick too.

Always heard Na Rossa were a tiny club. Would I be right in saying Declan Bonner still is or was doing goals for them until recently? Declan must be in his 50's?

That's right, Declan was forced into playing in goals last year when they had a number of lads away for a championship game. He wouldn't normally play. Think he's 51 now. Na Rossa haven't even been able to field a reserve team for a number of years due to a lot of lads emigrating from what is already a very small playing pool.

Na Rossa have a lot more club members than a fair number of clubs in the county. Eunans are the largest with over 750 members. Na Rossa about 270-280 the last time I seen figures and seems about average for most clubs in the County. Setanta have the lowest number with about 60 adult members. But numbers don't always translate into success and that's the beauty of sport, can only put 15 on the pith. Happy and safe Christmas and new year to everyone on this site. Roll on 2018, Can't wait for the Mc Kenna cup to start!!!!!

Kilmainham maybe a rural club and only a townland but they get players from all over the Kells parish and the town of Kells itself. They field two championship teams and 2 League teams I would consider them a small club but not the smallest in Meath. St Pauls and Kilbride are both in Dunboyne Parish and both only field 1 Championship (Junior B) and an A League team but neither has a B League team. So on numbers Pauls have to be the smallest as Kilbride are forging ahead with underage. I would say they are the smallest members wise in Meath as most other Clubs at least field 2 League teams Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 24/12/2017 21:03:34 2065988 Link 0 |

Not sure what your trying to say here. Do St Pauls not get players from Dunboyne and Blackhall Gaels. Look at all the lads that have transferred into them. They have a much bigger catchment area than Kilmainham. The same can be said about Kilbride. Have a much bigger population than Kilmainham. St Brigid's would be a very small club as well.

A wee club just outside Belfast, there's not one of them over 5ft. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9794 - 26/12/2017 01:48:15 2066003 Link 0 |

Sorry I did not notice the word catchment. Hard to define as if you read it you would think that all Killmainham have is a townland which is far from true as they get lots of players from the town of Kells most are Kilmainham heritage to be honest Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 26/12/2017 11:55:55 2066008 Link 0 |

Think Knock in the Mid Division would be smaller again. Their players play with Roscrea underage I think. They only field a Junior B team. John Carroll was from there and I think he went back and played a couple of years when he was finished playing senior with Roscrea.

Don't know of any player's from the town of kells that play for Kilmainham. They did have a player that left them to join Kells. Every lad in Kilmainkam that is capable of kicking a ball is playing football. They probably have the highest level of participation of any club in the country. Every time you attend a game there the local wimen have tea and goodies for anyone that wants it. They also don't charge for it either. Now that's a real club. latouche25 (Meath) - Posts: 543 - 02/01/2018 18:02:15 2066512 Link 0 |
