Replying To Viking66:  "Canuck the motion isn't about what way the Kilkenny CB are like at promoting adult football. It's about young lads getting the opportunity to play hurling even if they are from Louth for example.
A few posters who are ignorant of the truth have tried to argue that there isn't the opportunity for young lads to play football in Kilkenny, so I just pointed out only 4 clubs out of 41 there don't have underage football, 2 of those are in the same parish as football clubs, and the other 2 are less than 5 miles from clubs who do provide football for kids.
The bottom line is that there are vast swathes of a large number of counties where a lad wouldn't be able to take up hurling if he wanted to. That's what this Motion is trying to tackle."

Replying To Canuck:  "I hear you Viking but many things go into making kids wanting to participate in a sport. Opportunity to do so for sure but also kids are influenced by the stars of the sport or what the inter county player brings back to the community about the merits of that honour. I am sure in Kilkenny hoards of kids picked up a hurley because of idolizing Eddie Keher, D.J. Carey, Henry Sheflin, T.G. Reid and many others. A player told the manager on a Tuesday night that he would not make Thursday training because he had a football game with his club . He was told if not there he need not come back. How do I know that ? A relative. So using Kilkenny as any form of example in promoting football is a bad one. There are probably the best county ever to play hurling while making sure football stays in its lane. The lane they created for it and want to keep."
