Corn Ui Mhuiri

It's very much more structured in most schools compared to when I was in school.

I think to THK's point, there are some kids who don't play sport within or outside of school except for PE but that has always been the case.

However, the difference now is that you there is less flexibility. Club rugby nosedives if lads go to Christians or Pres because the schools prevent club training and games.
CCRí used to be a football school, less extent hurling. Now they have soccer, basketball etc etc.
They didn't even field a team in last year's Corn Ui Mhuirí notwithstanding they have intercounty players on the teaching staff.

There was a time if you were a Corn Uí Mhuirí player, you were playing for a Nemo or a Barr's, ended up on the Cork panel and etc etc ........that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

City schools in particular are not drawing from their immediate catchment anymore which further exacerbates the issue. Sign of the times.
 
Down in Kerry they have 4-6 schools were all the better players go to,up here we could have 18 plus schools playing in various grades each year.Maybe plus the usual cork schools we could have amalgamated teams from each division.

Barrs and Nemo let Chriost Ri die ,SON. Nobody else.
 
A sportsman who is academic sorry Prince. FFS ,I am talking about nerds , do any of ye pricks have kids. Half the School don't pick up a ball, gaming, code, music , art, taking drugs etc etc.
I have kids and they are academics and two of them are in CBC and they play hurling, rugby and one of them plays soccer as well.
 
Kids are playing what they want hence the reason Cork Schools Football is dead.
Less Kids are playing Sport, collapse of religious order etc etc etc.

CBC ffs lads you want them competing at Schools Rugby, Harty Cup and Corn Ui Mhuiri. Half the School are academics they don't play any sport.
I don’t think you can call them that.. they would be offended..

In my grandkids schools, it’s circa 15% actively play an organized sport. The gym seems to have become very popular. My 16 year old granddaughter tells me almost all her friends go to this one particular gym!
My grandson who plays both codes still goes to the gym 3 times a week with his mates, most of whom don’t play a sport. Come 14/15 most teenagers drift away from the team sports, especially the girls .
