Isn’t it great to watch ulster football where no one team is dominant. Donegal v Armagh was a great game.

Leinster, Dublin €€€€€€€€€€€

Munster, Kerry, very well funded by their own county through fundraising

Connacht, Mayo, massive funding by the county board through events

Yesterday's match was not a typical Ulster match. Highly entertaining. Also with the added benefit that RTE can't bang on about "puke football".

Armagh out looking for goals from get go, makes it far more exciting.

Speaking as a Donegal person, that was not a great game

If every other province and county within that county completely ignored Hurling they would be able to field much stronger football teams as well.

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.

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.

Armagh are the form team at the moment, without a doubt!..Its some chance for the 4 on that side of the draw to get to a final.

Be interesting to see Derry v Galway after Derry poor performance against them in the league. But an all Ulster semi final would be hard to beat that is if we beat Clare.

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 stand corrected. 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.
