Was he banned? Think he just got worn out from trying to pretend the Cork hurlers had a future.

No. No. No. Not at all. It's not killing it off, it's metamorphosis. Sure didn't father Fehily tell Ross back in the day that Gaelic football would eventually become rugby but was just merely going through a bad patch in its evolution at that time?

How does he manage that? It used to be a basic rule that no one could be a member of two clubs unelss one was a wholly Football Club and the other a wholly Hurling Club. Cahalane Pére played for the Rockies ( hurling) and the Haven (football), both one game clubs. According to their website, the Barrs are "St Finbarrs National Hurling and Football Club.Considering who is da is,yes he does,I'm sure one of the hurling selectors is from down that way too,can't remember his name.In his case for whatever reason ,he togs out in hurling for the Barrs.

I shall endeavour to find out over the weekend down this way and you are quite correct in your thinking on this.

Chance to play pro & earn a decent living or play an amateur sport with no real financial reward. It's a no brainer.
It's prob a big blow to Cork hurling but Cork is clearly the finest sporting county in Ireland & will produce more decent hurlers in time. A big reason why teams like Kerry/KK are so successful is because they are predominately 1 sport counties.

In the context of two of the best young footballers in the country playing with a team who have at least a right to think of themselves as a group with the potential to be the best, then they would be wasting their time playing hurling. Kenny, O hAilpin, etc, aren't in that situation, they're just hurlers.
And as for your last remark - no, i won't. I never went to games back in the early 2000's and wouldn't if they got successful again. l I'm a football fan because i grew up in an area where football was the only sport and never touched a hurley in my life. I'd like to see them do well, but every new underage team is worse than the next, and young players that have been brought through over the last five years aren't good enough to make Cork into AI winners.

I know of plenty examples of it. My own club is a football only club, yet a number of guys played some hurling with dual clubs that were nearby. It's a pretty sensible way of doing things.
Cahelane never played football for the Barrs, and played football for the Haven before anything else. It would be a bit ridiculous if he was prevented from playing hurling with whatever club he wished after that.
Mark Collins, a Haven footballer on the Cork senior panel, is in the exact same position. He grew up in Douglas and plays hurling for them, yet football for Haven.
It's a pretty sensible way of doing things i'd have thought.

A good way off the best though. They're not the best at any of the top sports imo despite the large population.

That's a fair comment, especially considering it originated from a guy who has given his best years to Gwlad.

I think it might have been better if he changed the order so that the rugby limerick was second on the list.

I thought Tipp had overhauled Limerick for the rugby

I know of another talented rugby player who also plays GAA, an outhalf, underage and the GAAAAAA have handed him an ultimatum. He aint impressed with them at all.
Calm yourself sir.. you\'re going to give yourself skin failure.
Didn't I say he played for the Dohenys?..Dunmanway rugby too and on to BG.

It's really North Munster v. South Munster but the numbers seem to be improving again for Limerick sides judging by the make-up of underage sides. I wouldn't be complacent about things, the lack of decent backrower from Limerick since Wallace left school is worrying. O'Connell seems to be the last decent lock in an age too.I thought Tipp had overhauled Limerick for the rugby

I was talking to someone last night who knows Darren Sweetnam since his early days in Dunmanway rugby. A few tipped him down there to make the Munster squad from his mid teens. Also he was encouraged as a young lad to try out all the different sports by his family.He excelled at everything he put his hand to. But according to this guy,there was only one sport he was going to concentrate on if the call came and that was rugby.

That's BS and you know it. I was told by a reliable source that Christy Ring appeared to him in a dream one night and told him to stick a knife in any piece of pigs bladder or the modern version of same that was to be clad with leather. It was then that Sweetnam had an eipihany- he went to a local chippys workshop, who lo and behold happened to be a relative of T78. It was here that his fate was sealed. You see the chippy's real name was Finneagas, now Finneagas was a wizened old man but held secrets and knowledge beyond compare. He thought the young sweetnam the ways of the rebel stickmen, together they would run drills through Mayfield, farranree, Glanmire and even Blackrock. They smote everything in their path.
One day Finneagas had to leave young Sweetnam at the workshop, Finneagas had to head to cashmans for on sliotar, because for all of his story telling and knowledge- Finneagas was full of bluff and Bluster- but there was one thing, he was the best turner of a hurl in the land. Finneagas had a special hurl that he had been preparing and was just about finished, the young Sweetnam decided to surprise his mentor and finish it for him, as he was doing so , a splinter stuck into sweetnams thumb, instinctively he placed the thumb in his mouth. Just then the old man arrived at the door, on seeing Sweetnam with his thumb in mouth, he fell to his knees in despair.
Sweetnam tried to console him, it was in vain. You see, the hurl was the magic hurl of the ancients but it was cursed, Finneagas had been trying to tease a curse from it. In days gone by Ring had a falling out with the old man and he declared that no young talented Hurler from from Cork will ever wield it's powers again. Together with a friend called Mick Mackey from Limerick, they fashioned a curse made from a bootlace of Limerick Rugby Legends Mick English, and Tom Clifford , Cork legend Tom Kiernan and Tipp Hurling legend John Doyle (because they hate Cork anyway).
The Curse would allow a young starlet to play to an exceptional level, lure Cork into a false sense of security but when they least expected it, the rug would be pulled from under them, as the youth that wields the hurl of the ancients will turn on his heel and move to a professional code and the only words that the ould man could depart to the county board will be.....
Sure he's gettin a few bob....
The REAL truth will out when Dipstick chooses to share it with us.

Ah, well, fair enough. At least he'll still be playing in the Cork county colours.
