Replying To LimerickForLiam24:  "I see the kerry hurler Mackessy joining up with Kilkenny next year. Great to see as hurling is only a hobby in the Kingdom county."
Not sure Mackessy is good enough yet to start for Kilkenny. But he has potential.

He's a serious bit of stuff, be a hard enough set up to break on to though. Massive addition for O loughlins

They fell on their feet there, he's only going to get better.

I'm moving to a different county, and I want transfer to a club in that county. However, I'd prefer not to transfer to the club which is closest to the place I'm moving to but rather to one a few miles away. Is this permitted?

Depends what county you are moving too. Some counties like Dublin don't have defined parish rules, and in areas of Wexford, like Gorey and Wexford town, you could play for a choice of clubs, not neccessarily the nearest to you.

Any thread for players that are trapped in clubs going nowhere?
The parish rule is well intended but some players are living in rural parishs with 7 or 8 at training - 16 or 17 togged out match day with 4 or 5 of them only making up numbers , never win anything but keep the club name alive which isn't much use to the 7 or 8 players trying to win something - they eventually pack it in

Isn't that the whole point of having different grades? There's a grade for everyone to try and win?

I agree. These players stand out on their teams and now a days get recognized for inter county. Junior and intermediate, colleges are not a handicap to getting recognition. An example is Padraig Fitzgerald playing junior in Killrosanty. In the past Tadgh, Colin Dunford and many others. Able to play star roles at their little rural clubs. This is the beauty of the GAA. The love of Parish first has kept the enthusiasm for our sport going.
