Playing Football And Hurling In Different Counties

I recently transferred to a Dublin club for football having struggled with long commutes home while playing through college. My inter-county transfer has been completed and I've began playing league football in Dublin.
Last year I played both football and hurling in my home county, two separate clubs. My county is predominantly football. There would be less than 10 adult hurling teams and 5 or 6 of these teams wouldn't be playing at a very high level, only playing 12 or 13 a side throughout the year.
The hurling club I'm involved with only fielded an adult team for the first time in the last number of years. Numbers are very tight and I've told management I'll try to be available for the 8-10 league and championship games during the year to help keep the thing afloat.
Is this possible? The club I've transferred to in Dublin offers both codes so I'm worried that this could cause a problem.

I think it depends on the parish. Some are extremely possessive over players and it's in the rules.
Play away if I was you. The rules regarding parish rule, county boundaries etc seem to be a grey area sometimes and not always to the benefit of players/participation in gaelic games.
My son plays hurling for a different club than his 'home' club (a football only club). Each year he has to fill out a permission form. I assume you have to do the same. What will you put on the form this year given that you have transferred? I'd say all will be fine until some busy body queries it....

Id say you're grand.
Pretty sure the Cahalane brothers in Cork play hurling for St Finbarrs but commute an hour to play football for west Cork Outfit Castle Haven.
St Finbarrs are a dual club too. But I think their father is a Castlehaven man.

The only time that this might be a problem would be if your new club won a championship and the opposition knew that you were playing in another county. That could be an issue Other than that, I'd say you would be fine.
