Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "So those 4 teams would have the same dominance at senior level? It's not Just a numbers game."
It's more than a numbers game you need quality is well.. however the fact is only for a recent dip into the transfer market the united parishes wouldn't have won the last 2 county titles despite all their numbers…..

It's definitely not just a numbers game, look at the spread of different winners before the two Hughes brothers and then Rory Beggan came along.. the pair of lads are just a different level in terms of physicality and skill than everyone else in the county - only McManus who's a generational talent and a physical specimen himself really challenged them for about 10 years there but now they're starting to slow down Ballybay managed to pip them.

I can see Scotstown falling back into the pack over the next few years when the boys inevitably walk away.

Again if it was just numbers and parish size then a few of their near neighbours would be competing too, but there's just too many poorly run clubs around them to challenge them for now.

Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "Ah poor auld Tom Smith never heard of the parish rule on which the GAA was founded on. Need to educate yourself there lad."
I believe Monaghan would be one of the few counties able to follow this due to the size. It's a bye law which is generally used for U18s... it's not a general GAA rule.

You would advocate for a the Hughes brothers to be brought up to Threemilehouse when they were children, with no attachment there and Kilmore training grounds 3 minutes drive away and them attending school in Urbeshanny in Scotstown. You believe they should have played for Seans?

You are that bitter thats what you want..
