The Official Cork GAA 2017 Thread

No idea mate. Sure almost all senior teams are townies, besides Newtown. Cloyne is a town as well but I guess on Kev’s townie scale they aren’t as townie as Mallow or Fermoy or whoever.

Tbh this whole townie thing stinks of counties up the country. Doesn’t make sense in Cork.

It wasn’t something I heard growing up, everyone hated everyone depending on geographically proximity.

Sure isn’t every place in Cork a town ffs! Ye wouldn’t know a village down there

St. Itas are the only true culchie hurling club left.

There’s always been an element of truth in it in North Cork where, for whatever reasons, the big town clubs (Mallow, Fermoy, Charleville, Mitchelstown) haven’t been as successful as the small village/parish clubs (Ballyhea, Newtown, Milford for a time, Clyda in football). I suspect the main reasons were more alternative things to do, and an absence of the all consuming nature of the GAA club in a rural parish, which would have cast you as a bit of an outsider if you didn’t play.

The college’s will be fucked out of the championship next year id say.

Barron immense by sounds of it

Buff Egan had updates on the Snapchat!

Have you seen Sars play? Are they back to their best?

@peddlerscross

It’s utterly fucking ridiculous in this day and age that College teams like that can come along and knock a Cork club with 30 odd homegrown Cork players out of the Cork Senior Championship. No logic whatsoever to it, crazy shit.
