might be a hole in that story GAA rules dont allow you to transfer just for one code anyway in cases where the club you looking to join has a team in both codes You either transfer for both codes or no code. you cant say I want to transfer to club B for football but not play hurling for them and remain at Club A for the hurling. Different story if the club you are joining doesnt play hurling Or at least that is my understanding of the rules Would be strange thing to do alright. Cahalanes do it in Cork. Play hurling with the Barrs and then play against their hurling teammates when Castlehaven play the Barrs. See hurlingman reply which may be correct It is also possible that Castlehaven dont play hurling so that would have opened up an avenue as well |

That's different and only happens in Cork AFAIK. Someone who lives in the city but is from or played with a county club their children can play with that club in either code and also play with a city club. Mark Collins is the same he played hurling with Douglas and football with Castlehaven. Nothing wrong from a rules point, just odd that a group of brothers who've lived in Cork City all their lives joined a gaelic football club 1.5 hours away and all the travel that entails for home matches and training. It might be common enough for adults to have to travel home considerable distances for training and matches but they've had to do this whilst in primary and secondary school! |

Niall Cahalane on the Thomas O Se podcast actually explains how it came out. |

This somehwat happens in other counties as well. We have moved to Mount Melleray in January and the local club only offers hurling, never ever offered football. The nearby parish of Affane, famous for the battle, offers football only. So some lads here, like my brother in law, play hurling with Melleray Rovers and football with Affane. Affane merged with Cappoquin in 1969 and later with Tourin. When the club plays hurling they are called Cappoquin/Tourin, when they play football they are called Affane.
Some Melleray lads play hurling against Cappoquin, playing their team mates when they play football with Affane.
The hurling club compete in West Junior A Hurling, Western Intermediate Football Championship Group B.
Though in 2024 Melleray fielded a football team in Western Junior C Football Championship.
Some locals actually play with Lismore when they go to school there.
Up the road from us we have Lorraine Bray, who plays camogie and football with Cappoquin, as Mellerary did not offer camogie or ladies football earlier on. Further on the road we have Newcastle in County Tipperary offering hurling and camogie so even though some ladies live 5 minutes away from Lorraine Bray in what is the parish of Ballymacarbry they play camogie in Tipperary and ladies football with Ballymac in Waterford.
So this year Lorraine played scored against a goalkeeper whose house we can see from here, but playing for Tipp. I think some Limerick camogie players played with Milford in Cork as their club, but against theirteam mates when playing Cork in intercounty camogie.
