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.

Like the Fleming lad from Ballydesmond. Played with the Kerry Juniors in a Munster final against Cork and marked another fella from Ballydesmond. |

Indeed. Just like that. Or like Anhony Nash, who came from a long line of Limerick hurlers, played with Kanturk and Cork, as he was born and raised in Kanturk, and then in retired moved to South Liberties, where his uncles Declan and Mick also played. A lot of the Milford ladies live and work in Limerick. Aisling Thompson and Anna Geary for example spent a lot of time in Limerick, and many would go on to study in UL, but play with Milford in the Cork championship and for Cork in the intercounty camogie.
I suppose you can't choose where you were born and some county borders don't make sense.
Abbeyfeale's Father Casey's were beaten by Adare in the county final a week ago and many in Abbeyfeale uttered they might have faired better in Kerry, as their pitch is in Kerry, and some players from North Kerry have played for Limerick in the past and West Limerick hurlers have played for Kerry.
On the other hand Rathmore is very much Kerry and though they might support Ballydesmond, it is very much in Cork. When it comes to schools as well a lot of Gneeveguilla fellas or Rathmore lads might play together with Ballydesmond lads, but play against each other at intercounty level. Same with Duagh lads who go to school in Abbyfeale or Ballingarry lads who go to school in Charleville.

mighty attendance at the St Brendans versus Ballyduff u21 semi-final on Saturday night in Abbeydorney, Not surprising as these two teams have been huge rivals at minor and u21 in recent seasons and there is some great talent in both teams
Not for the faint hearted either and it really boiled over in front of the stand half way through the first half.
Thankfully order was restored and following the bust up, it did not boil over again
St Brendans always looked that bit better and were deserving winners on a 0-19 to 1-11 scoreline
Gary O'Riordan who was having an excellent match for St Brendans was sent off half way through the second half but it didnt seem to unsettle St Brendans. Liam Og Connor produced some sublime individual scores and looks a serious prospect. Hugh Lenihan at wing back is a good bit of stuff, Earnan Ferris didnt line out for St Brendans owing to injury and they will need him back for the final with O'Riordan suspended
Ballyduff will be disappointed to lose their title but put in a massive effort on the night. Hard to believe that Evan Boyle has 3 years left at this age group. He was very good at centre back sweeping across the backline and pushing forward as well. He really is what one calls a rangy type player
Plenty of counties more renowned for hurling than kerry wouldnt have an attendance like last saturday night for a november under 21 hurling semi final!

Interesting that Abbeydorney are 9/4 underdogs at home to Cashel this Sunday. Didnt Lixnaw beat them a number of years back.

Big crowd in Abbeydorney today pity the weather was bad even though i think it levelelled the game as a contest. O Dorney were over reliant on Maunsell and in particular Mike o Leary who stood out

A step too far on the end for Abbeydorney. Although still a great season for them.

Just saw a video on Twitter of the 2 sets of midfielders wrestling and acting the eejit before the ball is thrown in. The Cashel wins the throw in and has forgotten which way he is playing and knocks the ball over his own bar.
I know it’s a different sport but the 1v1 throw in will hopefully get rid of this throwing of shapes and acting the hard man. If not I would hope that referees would clamp down on it and book players who are getting involved in this silliness.

Brian Murphy picked up a Munster title with Sarsfeilds this afternoon and scored a point.
