[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 662270, member: 71048"] "but tyrone have a hurling team" Starting off with a sentence like that....you're not a lawyer that's for sure. :lol: England have a baseball team (haven't googled but I'm sure they do). There's a difference between having a team, and HAVING A TEAM. Quick story...I went to one of the top GAA grammar schools in the north....and we had a solitary hurling PE class in seven years and it seemed like we had it for punishment. We actually had as many Rugby classes (also one). I've never seen a game played here...not in schools, not in GAA grounds. It obviously happens somewhere because I've seen results in the GAA section local papers. Antrim are far and away the only one that participate properly in hurling and they are a minor GAA county. I had a hurlng stick and a sloithar and have whacked it a few times (very badly might I add)...I also had a cricket set that my auntie bizarrely gave me (never got used). Regards teams in the hunt for Sam..I've just listed the last six all Ireland football winners and the multitude of teams competing, and the last six all Ireland hurling winners and the lack of teams competing. To even attempt to argue that hurling is anywhere near as competitive as football is foolish...and dare I say delusional. [/QUOTE]
