NCW, in fairness to them, have a huge crossover; theyâre at least trying to do the dual thing properly. Football has priority I believe, but theyâre unbeaten in the hurling.
But yeah, obviously Kilmallock & the Well donât play football full-stop. Na Piarsaigh used to have a bit of dual (Ronan Lynch was a county footballer for a while) but none anymore.
There were a couple of the Doon lads kicking football for Oola this year- Chris Thomas, Eddie Stokes & Mikey OâBrien anyway, I think. Maybe Kevin Maher too.
I see the only real dual counties are Galway and cork look how many all Irelands theyâve lost between hurling and football by the odd score.
If they were not dual counties they probably win a couple maybe.
Similarly in Dublin the footballers had everyone probably six or seven county hurlers and look how many all Irelands they won by the odd score. If they didnât have even two or three of them they might lose a few finals.
Stuff like league semi finals have no place in the calendar. The dual clubs need more space otherwise one code will lose out.
Thatâs fair but still itâs different when you get to senior hurling. Newcastle are making great gains with hurling but as you go up the ladder itâll get tougher.
You just canât be playing hurling enough training or matches.
Your some buck,on one thread youâre saying lads are playing too much and on another your calling for them to train 3 or 4 nights a week .Iâve said it before but youâre the best wum we have on here.
K/P have the training down to a tee imo as outlined by @Aristotle earlier.Clubs should be copying their template.A small club playing senior in both codes, unbelievable stuff in fairness.
