Saint Josephs Gaa club is the smallest in Roscommon and i think you would struggle to find a smaller one in Ireland Tarismelting22 (Roscommon) - Posts: 785 - 03/01/2018 09:43:00 2066565 Link
Replying To Tarismelting22: "Saint Josephs Gaa club is the smallest in Roscommon and i think you would struggle to find a smaller one in Ireland" Would St Ronan's not be smaller? LooseCannon (Offaly) - Posts: 86 - 03/01/2018 09:58:24 2066570 Link
Replying To Rohanhorsemaste: "knockshegowna, north Tipp. no school's, pubs or shops. junior A hurling. all juveniles boys play for other clubs but come back to play adult. girls play in Offaly with carrig." 2 pubs and 2 churches in the parish actually. Seemed to be a club that would die off there a few years ago but now seem to have a few more young lads coming along. joined with Rovers and Lorrha last year. Smallest in North Tipp for sure. Never understood why they didn't combine with Carrig tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 03/01/2018 10:14:54 2066577 Link

Replying To saulgael: "Down's would have to be Ballygalget." Are you for real? Their catchment area stretches from Downpatrick in the South to Holywood in the North. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 03/01/2018 12:41:12 2066593 Link
Replying To Tarismelting22: "Saint Josephs Gaa club is the smallest in Roscommon and i think you would struggle to find a smaller one in Ireland" Im a pearses man but from my knowledge per catchement area and membership St Josephs is the smallest.

Replying To Tarismelting22: "Im a pearses man but from my knowledge per catchement area and membership St Josephs is the smallest." Glaveys have a good sized catchment area taking in Ballinlough, Granlahan, Gorthaganny and Cloonfad. I think it borders Dunmore, Ballyhaunis, Castlerea and Loughglynn?

They wont join up but don't understand why. Tipp obviously ;) tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 04/01/2018 08:35:28 2066727 Link

Replying To Horsebox77: "There is a wee club in north Kerry called Knockanure they only enter one comp per year the NK Novice whic( is basically a C competition after the seniors and intermediate most of their players play with a neighboring club. Who's C team is officially the Knock A team" how does that work? the reason i ask is that that situation would suit a lot of small clubs who are struggling throughout the year and would be better join up with another club for lets say senior/ intermediate football yet may be able to have a team available for a minor competition and keep the identity of the club going. theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 04/01/2018 11:35:51 2066758 Link
St Osnatts or Glenfarne/Kilty as both teams struggled to field last year. In terms of population probably Drumreilly who despite low numbers almost always produce quality players. bananapublican (Leitrim) - Posts: 878 - 04/01/2018 12:48:26 2066777 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "They wont join up but don't understand why. Tipp obviously ;)" Ger Oakley would never hurl with Tipp. LooseCannon (Offaly) - Posts: 86 - 04/01/2018 14:13:04 2066800 Link
He's gone a bit past that by now I'd imagine! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 05/01/2018 08:17:59 2066881 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "He's gone a bit past that by now I'd imagine!" He'd. Be better than some of our current hurlers anyway! LooseCannon (Offaly) - Posts: 86 - 05/01/2018 09:06:26 2066884 Link
In terms of area probably Ardagh, population-wise Moygownagh or Lacken JXV (Mayo) - Posts: 39 - 05/01/2018 13:27:56 2066943 Link
Replying To Tarismelting22: "Im a pearses man but from my knowledge per catchement area and membership St Josephs is the smallest." Lads I would say Tremane hurling club is the smallest club in the county. Firstly there is no village , pub , church , townland or centre of any kind that you could call Tremane. Its a collection of a few townlands in the parish of Athleague which has its own club and like a turlough , it pops up and dissappears every year to play senior hurling only. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 216 - 05/01/2018 22:22:42 2067025 Link
Maghera in Cavan, i don't think they've ever won a game, not in my playing time so far anyway. They are unlucky though because any half decent player that comes from Maghera wont play for them, they go to Ramor United instead despite the fact they might have no connections to Ramor United. Not sure why its just always been the way it is. IamADragon (Cavan) - Posts: 306 - 06/01/2018 12:55:45 2067068 Link
In Donegal it has to be Pettigo. Their senior team competes in a league with Division 1 and 2 teams 3rd side and compete in a championship against division 4 reserve teams. cowsinthehills (Donegal) - Posts: 63 - 06/01/2018 14:21:47 2067074 Link

I'd say eslin would be up there aswell, they have no underage teams as they go and play with mohill for underage Leitrimabu17 (Leitrim) - Posts: 18 - 06/01/2018 20:56:06 2067136 Link
