The County Board Complaints Thread

[red&blue]

I was just thinking there of a little scheme Eamonn Ryan did in the Hill school in 1991. Just genius. Made everyone a little more involved, gave a few younger lads a role. Just a natural sports psychologist as much as anything else.

On the new clubs, I think we’ve too many clubs in Cork not too few.

Depends on where you are, urban areas have a shocking player involvement ratio, because they have more than enough, country clubs are crying out for players so maybe full amalgamations are necessary

Better to get more out of what’s there. Nemo were trying to get into hurling.

Nemo have always hurled, they just dont do it well

I didn’t know Rochestown played with Douglas, I’ll give you that one.

anyone living in rochestown plays with Douglas, its a 10 minute drive

You’ve Glanmire in Sallybrook used field hurling teams long ago.

be reasonable, they have no interest in hurling

You could also seriously consider asking kids to play hurling OR football.

ah stop, the barrs tried that with our kids one time, the stupidest thing ive ever seen

Registration limits sounds good to me as well but I think partnering up existing clubs works. Maybe do it based on primary schools so the switch is early?

True but Douglas Ballincollig and Sars regularly have 70/80 young kids on the age, who do you suggest they partner up with?

Also there are a lot more pastime choices in the City, both sporting and otherwise.

Dublin's 'superclubs' and why becoming the best is not all down to numbers

Back in December 2015, as Ballyboden St Enda’s were closing in on a Leinster club football title, one of their officials reflected on the gargantuan size of the Firhouse Road operation.

There are no Cork clubs this size.

Is it bad I’m trying to figure out how these new clubs would advantage the Barrs? I feel you wouldn’t be pushing for it otherwise!

Douglas have 150 teams across all codes according to the examiner 4 years ago

Douglas have 150 teams across all codes according to the examiner 4 years ago

That would be counting 10 at U7 football, 10 at U7 hurling, 10 at U8 Football, 10 at U8 Hurling, etc.
Add in ladies football and camogie and you could be close to 100 teams from u10 down alone.
