"If every other province and county within that county completely ignored Hurling they would be able to field much stronger football teams as well. Like Leitrim?" Well, yes. If they diverted all their resources to Hurling they would end up having a much weaker football team. It's not rocket science. | |||

"If every other province and county within that county completely ignored Hurling they would be able to field much stronger football teams as well. " There has never been the same interest in hurling in Ulster apart from in Antrim. It's hard to ignore something that there is little or no demand for. I've never been to a hurling match or even watched one on TV. I know 20+ people who have been heavily involved in GAA for 40 years mostly at club level but a few at county level and even a few with All Ireland medals but none of them have ever been interested in hurling. | |||

"Hurling is for the bog counties" I think you'll find it's actually quite the opposite. Outside of the Pale, Football is in West Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Donegal. North/West Galway, Roscommon etc. Where as hurling is predominant in Waterford, Kilkenny, North and East Cork, Tipperary, North/East Clare, South/East Galway etc. | |||

I’d have to disagree on lack of demand, in Derry there’s a strong hurling incentive even though the quality doesn’t carry from club to county. In Tyrone hurling is growing by the year, they just won the Nicky Rackard. Donegal are now using the Tyrone template to strengthen their hurling programme. Armagh, down, Fermanagh and Monaghan all have a healthy mix of hurling clubs. Lack of publicity yes, lack of demand? Definitely not | |||

I'm not involved with the GAA at all but I used to supply clubs across the 6 counties and Ballygalget in Down were the only club outside of Antrim that I was aware of being heavily hurling focused. Good to know that things are changing. | |||
